This paper introduces a novel class of PICOD($t$) problems referred to as $g$-group complete-$S$ PICOD($t$) problems. It constructs a multi-stage achievability scheme to generate pliable index codes for group complete PICOD problems when $S…

In the traditional index coding problem, a server employs coding to send messages to $n$ clients within the same broadcast domain. Each client already has some messages as side information and requests a particular unknown message from the…

In the online sorting problem, a sequence of $n$ numbers in $[0, 1]$ (including $\{0,1\}$) have to be inserted in an array of size $m \ge n$ so as to minimize the sum of absolute differences between pairs of numbers occupying consecutive…

This paper studies a variant of the Pliable Index CODing (PICOD) problem, i.e., an index coding problem where a user can be satisfied by decoding any message that is not in its side information set, where communication is decentralized,…

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…

It was recently observed in [1], that in index coding, learning the coding matrix used by the server can pose privacy concerns: curious clients can extract information about the requests and side information of other clients. One approach…

Many streaming algorithms provide only a high-probability relative approximation. These two relaxations, of allowing approximation and randomization, seem necessary -- for many streaming problems, both relaxations must be employed…

In the online matching on the line problem, the task is to match a set of requests $R$ online to a given set of servers $S$. The distance metric between any two points in $R\,\cup\, S$ is a line metric and the objective for the online…

Index coding, a source coding problem over broadcast channels, has been a subject of both theoretical and practical interest since its introduction (by Birk and Kol, 1998). In short, the problem can be defined as follows: there is an input…

For a network with one sender, $n$ receivers (users) and $m$ possible messages (files), caching side information at the users allows to satisfy arbitrary simultaneous demands by sending a common (multicast) coded message. In the worst-case…

In the semi-streaming model for processing massive graphs, an algorithm makes multiple passes over the edges of a given $n$-vertex graph and is tasked with computing the solution to a problem using $O(n \cdot \text{polylog}(n))$ space.…

This work introduces a hypergraph formulation that generalizes the classical paradigm of Bar-Yossef et al. to the multi-sender index coding (MSIC) setting. Central to the model is a 4-regular side-information hypergraph G, a new adjacency…

The capacity of caching networks has received considerable attention in the past few years. A particularly studied setting is the case of a single server (e.g., a base station) and multiple users, each of which caches segments of files in a…
