Coded caching is a promising technique to create coded multicast opportunities for cache-aided networks. By splitting each file into $F$ equal packets (i.e., the subpacketization level $F$) and letting each user cache a set of packets, the…

We introduce the notion of distributed quantum dense coding, i.e. the generalization of quantum dense coding to more than one sender and more than one receiver. We show that global operations (as compared to local operations) of the senders…

Many problems of interest for cyber-physical network systems can be formulated as Mixed-Integer Linear Programs in which the constraints are distributed among the agents. In this paper we propose a distributed algorithmic framework to solve…
