Upper bounds on the maximum number of minimal codewords in a binary code follow from the theory of matroids. Random coding provide lower bounds. In this paper we compare these bounds with analogous bounds for the cycle code of graphs. This…
We give lower bounds on the communication complexity of graph problems in the multi-party blackboard model. In this model, the edges of an $n$-vertex input graph are partitioned among $k$ parties, who communicate solely by writing messages…
This paper examines the theory pertaining to lossless compression of correlated sources located at the edge of a network. Importantly, communication between nodes is prohibited. In particular, a method that combines correlated source coding…
We obtain novel index coding schemes and show that they provably outperform all previously known graph theoretic bounds proposed so far. Further, we establish a rather strong negative result: all known graph theoretic bounds are within a…
Extending the work of Godsil and others, we investigate the notion of the inverse of a graph (specifically, of bipartite graphs with a unique perfect matching). We provide a concise necessary and sufficient condition for the invertibility…
We study classical source coding with quantum side-information where the quantum side-information is observed by a helper and sent to the decoder via a classical channel. We derive a single-letter characterization of the achievable rate…
Side information provides a pivotal role for message delivery in many communication scenarios to accommodate increasingly large data sets, e.g., caching networks. Although index coding provides a fundamental modeling framework to exploit…
An $acyclic$ edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycle s. The \emph{acyclic chromatic index} of a graph is the minimum number k such that there is an acyclic e dge coloring using k colors…
We present two sequences of ensembles of non-systematic irregular repeat-accumulate codes which asymptotically (as their block length tends to infinity) achieve capacity on the binary erasure channel (BEC) with bounded complexity per…
The community detection problem involves making inferences about node labels in a graph, based on observing the graph edges. This paper studies the effect of additional, non-graphical side information on the phase transition of exact…
Inspired by notorious combinatorial optimization problems on graphs, in this paper we consider a series of related problems defined using a metric space and topology determined by a graph. Particularly, we present the Independent Set,…
We extend known methods to establish upper bounds on the least character non-residues contingent on different zero-free regions within the critical strip, in particular on bounded rectangles within the critical strip along the $\sigma=1$…
We investigate existence and uniqueness of solutions of the Cauchy problem for the porous medium equation on a class of Cartan-Hadamard manifolds. We suppose that the radial Ricci curvature, which is everywhere nonpositive as well as…
We present a Deep Image Compression neural network that relies on side information, which is only available to the decoder. We base our algorithm on the assumption that the image available to the encoder and the image available to the…
The independence number $\alpha(H)$ of a hypergraph $H$ is the maximum cardinality of a set of vertices of $H$ that does not contain an edge of $H$. Generalizing Shearer's classical lower bound on the independence number of triangle-free…
In pliable index coding (PICOD), a number of clients are connected via a noise-free broadcast channel to a server which has a list of messages. Each client has a unique subset of messages at the server as side-information, and requests for…
This paper deals with vector linear index codes for multiple unicast index coding problems where there is a source with K messages and there are K receivers each wanting a unique message and having symmetric (with respect to the receiver…
We consider a robust variant of Dirac-type problems in $k$-uniform hypergraphs. For instance, we prove that if $H$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph with minimum codegree at least $(1/2 + \gamma )n$, $\gamma >0$, and $n$ is sufficiently large,…
A cornerstone of extremal graph theory due to Erd\H{o}s and Stone states that the edge density which guarantees a fixed graph $F$ as subgraph also asymptotically guarantees a blow-up of $F$ as subgraph. It is natural to ask whether this…
Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, we settle an open problem…
