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…

In this paper we consider the communication problem that involves transmission of correlated sources over broadcast channels. We consider a graph-based framework for this information transmission problem. The system involves a source coding…

In the zero-error Slepian-Wolf source coding problem, the optimal rate is given by the complementary graph entropy $\overline{H}$ of the characteristic graph. It has no single-letter formula, except for perfect graphs, for the pentagon…

The bandwidth of a graph G is the minimum of the maximum difference between adjacent labels when the vertices have distinct integer labels. We provide a polynomial algorithm to produce an optimal bandwidth labeling for graphs in a special…

We systematically determine circular chromatic index of small graphs and multigraphs with maximum degree $4$, $5$, $6$ (and also their number for a given small order). We construct several infinite families of such graphs with circular…

A graph is perfect if the chromatic number of every induced subgraph equals the size of its largest clique, and an algorithm of Gr\"otschel, Lov\'asz, and Schrijver from 1988 finds an optimal colouring of a perfect graph in polynomial time.…

We discuss the question whether the existence of perfect matchings in a cubic graph can be seen from the spectrum of its adjacency matrix. For regular graphs in general and for three edge-disjoint perfect matchings in a cubic graph (that…

We consider a matrix completion problem that exploits social or item similarity graphs as side information. We develop a universal, parameter-free, and computationally efficient algorithm that starts with hierarchical graph clustering and…

Perfect graphs can be described as the graphs whose stable set polytopes are defined by their non-negativity and clique inequalities (including edge inequalities). In 1975, Chv\'{a}tal defined an analogous class of t-perfect graphs, which…

We classify modules and rings with some specific properties of their intersection graphs. In particular, we describe rings with infinite intersection graphs containing maximal left ideals of finite degree. This answers a question raised in…

Zero-error coding encompasses a variety of source and channel problems where the probability of error must be exactly zero. This condition is stricter than that of the vanishing error regime, where the error probability goes to zero as the…

We consider a graphical approach to index coding. While cycles have been shown to provide coding gain, only disjoint cycles and cliques (a specific type of overlapping cycles) have been exploited in existing literature. In this paper, we…

Limited dominating broadcasts were proposed as a variant of dominating broadcasts, where the broadcast function is upper bounded. As a natural extension of domination, we consider dominating $2$-broadcasts along with the associated…

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…

Orbits of graphs under the operation edge local complementation (ELC) are defined. We show that the ELC orbit of a bipartite graph corresponds to the equivalence class of a binary linear code. The information sets and the minimum distance…

A vertex coloring of a given simple graph $G=(V,E)$ with $k$ colors ($k$-coloring) is a map from its vertex set to the set of integers $\{1,2,3,\dots, k\}$. A coloring is called perfect if the multiset of colors appearing on the neighbours…
