The min-rank of a digraph was shown by Bar-Yossef et al. (2006) to represent the length of an optimal scalar linear solution of the corresponding instance of the Index Coding with Side Information (ICSI) problem. In this work, the graphs…
The source-coding problem with side information at the decoder is studied subject to a constraint that the encoder---to whom the side information is unavailable---be able to compute the decoder's reconstruction sequence to within some…
In this paper, we study the problem of graph compression with side information at the decoder. The focus is on the situation when an unlabelled graph (which is also referred to as a structure) is to be compressed or is available as side…
In this work, we study the problem of index coding from graph homomorphism perspective. We show that the minimum broadcast rate of an index coding problem for different variations of the problem such as non-linear, scalar, and vector index…
A vertex or edge in a graph is critical if its deletion reduces the chromatic number of the graph by 1. We consider the problems of deciding whether a graph has a critical vertex or edge, respectively. We give a complexity dichotomy for…
The index coding problem aims to optimise broadcast communication by taking advantage of receiver-side information to improve transmission efficiency. In this letter, we explore the application of Construction $\pi_A$ lattices to index…
For index coding problems with special structure on the side-information graphs called Interlinked Cycle (IC) structures index codes have been proposed in the literature (C. Thapa, L. Ong, and S. Johnson, "Interlinked Cycles for Index…
Partial clique covering is one of the most basic coding schemes for index coding problems, generalizing clique and cycle covering on the side information digraph and further reducing the achievable broadcast rate. In this paper, we start…

We introduce the blind index coding (BIC) problem, in which a single sender communicates distinct messages to multiple users over a shared channel. Each user has partial knowledge of each message as side information. However, unlike classic…
In this paper, we study the information-theoretic converse for the index coding problem. We generalize the definition for the alignment chain, introduced by Maleki et al., to capture more flexible relations among interfering messages at…
Index coding is a source coding problem in which a broadcaster seeks to meet the different demands of several users, each of whom is assumed to have some prior information on the data held by the sender. If the sender knows its clients'…
This paper proposes a novel achievable scheme for the index problem and applies it to the caching problem. Index coding and caching are noiseless broadcast channel problems where receivers have message side information.In the index coding…
Imagine that you are handed a rule for determining whether a cycle in a digraph is "good" or "bad", based on which edges of the cycle are traversed in the forward direction and which edges are traversed in the backward direction. Can you…
In Index Coding, the goal is to use a broadcast channel as efficiently as possible to communicate information from a source to multiple receivers which can possess some of the information symbols at the source as side-information. In this…
This paper deals with embedded index coding problem (EICP), introduced by A. Porter and M. Wootters, which is a decentralized communication problem among users with side information. An alternate definition of the parameter minrank of an…
We define a graph-based rate optimization problem and consider its computation, which provides a unified approach to the computation of various theoretical limits, including the (conditional) graph entropy, rate-distortion functions and…
We study the index coding problem in the unicast message setting, i.e., where each message is requested by one unique receiver. This problem can be modeled by a directed graph. We propose a new scheme called interlinked cycle cover, which…
The problem of lossless data compression with side information available to both the encoder and the decoder is considered. The finite-blocklength fundamental limits of the best achievable performance are defined, in two different versions…
Caching is an efficient way to reduce network traffic congestion during peak hours, by storing some content at the user's local cache memory, even without knowledge of user's later demands. Maddah-Ali and Niesen proposed a two-phase…
