The rate vs. distance problem is a long-standing open problem in coding theory. Recent papers have suggested a new way to tackle this problem by appealing to a new hierarchy of linear programs. If one can find good dual solutions to these…

The network coding problem asks whether data throughput in a network can be increased using coding (compared to treating bits as commodities in a flow). While it is well-known that a network coding advantage exists in directed graphs, the…

Lossless variable-length source coding with unequal cost function is considered for general sources. In this problem, the codeword cost instead of codeword length is important. The infimum of average codeword cost has already been…
