In a recent breakthrough paper [M. Braverman, A. Garg, D. Pankratov, and O.
Weinstein, From information to exact communication, STOC'13] Braverman et al.
developed a local characterization for the zero-error information complexity in
the two party model, and used it to compute the exact internal and external
information complexity of the 2-bit AND function, which was then applied to
determine the exact asymptotic of randomized communication complexity of the
set disjointness problem.
In this article, we extend their results on AND function to the multi-party
number-in-hand model by proving that the generalization of their protocol has
optimal internal and external information cost for certain distributions. Our
proof has new components, and in particular it fixes some minor gaps in the
proof of Braverman et al
