We study the problem of single-server multi-message private information retrieval with side information. One user wants to recover $N$ out of $K$ independent messages which are stored at a single server. The user initially possesses a…

An index code is said to be locally decodable if each receiver can decode its demand using its side information and by querying only a subset of the transmitted codeword symbols instead of observing the entire codeword. Local decodability…

The groupcast index coding problem is the most general version of the classical index coding problem, where any receiver can demand messages that are also demanded by other receivers. Any groupcast index coding problem is described by its…

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 index coding problem includes a server, a group of clients, and a set of data chunks. While each client wants a subset of the data chunks and already has another subset as its side information, the server transmits some uncoded data…

The following source coding problem was introduced by Birk and Kol: a sender holds a word $x\in\{0,1\}^n$, and wishes to broadcast a codeword to $n$ receivers, $R_1,...,R_n$. The receiver $R_i$ is interested in $x_i$, and has prior…
