An index code for broadcast channel with receiver side information is locally decodable if each receiver can decode its demand by observing only a subset of the transmitted codeword symbols instead of the entire codeword. Local decodability…
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…
Several modern applications involve huge graphs and require fast answers to reachability queries. In more than two decades since first proposals, several approaches have been presented adopting on-line searches, hop labelling or transitive…
Given a graph and a subset of its nodes, referred to as source nodes, the minimum broadcast problem asks for the minimum number of steps in which a signal can be transmitted from the sources to all other nodes in the graph. In each step,…
Insufficiency of linear coding for the network coding problem was first proved by providing an instance which is solvable only by nonlinear network coding (Dougherty et al., 2005).Based on the work of Effros, et al., 2015, this specific…
Given a graph $G$ and two vertices $s$ and $t$ in it, {\em graph reachability} is the problem of checking whether there exists a path from $s$ to $t$ in $G$. We show that reachability in directed layered planar graphs can be decided in…
A promising research area that has recently emerged, is on how to use index coding to improve the communication efficiency in distributed computing systems, especially for data shuffling in iterative computations. In this paper, we posit…
Accessibility percolation is a new type of percolation problem inspired by evolutionary biology. To each vertex of a graph a random number is assigned and a path through the graph is called accessible if all numbers along the path are in…
An index code for a broadcast channel with receiver side information is 'locally decodable' if every receiver can decode its demand using only a subset of the codeword symbols transmitted by the sender instead of observing the entire…
Given a directed graph and a source vertex, the fully dynamic single-source reachability problem is to maintain the set of vertices that are reachable from the given vertex, subject to edge deletions and insertions. It is one of the most…
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…
Let $S$ be an independent set of a simple undirected graph $G$. Suppose that each vertex of $S$ has a token placed on it. The tokens are allowed to be moved, one at a time, by sliding along the edges of $G$, so that after each move, the…
We consider a wireless broadcast station that transmits packets to multiple users. The packet requests for each user may overlap, and some users may already have certain packets. This presents a problem of broadcasting in the presence of…
The reachability problem asks to decide if there exists a path from one vertex to another in a digraph. In a grid digraph, the vertices are the points of a two-dimensional square grid, and an edge can occur between a vertex and its…
A rateless coding scheme transmits incrementally more and more coded bits over an unknown channel until all the information bits are decoded reliably by the receiver. We propose a new rateless coding scheme based on polar codes, and we show…
For a given labelled transition system (LTS), synthesis is the task to find an unlabelled Petri net with an isomorphic reachability graph. Even when just demanding an embedding into a reachability graph instead of an isomorphism, a solution…
Index coding and coded caching are two active research topics in information theory with strong ties to each other. Motivated by the multi-access coded caching problem, we study a new class of structured index coding problems (ICPs) which…
This paper studies a special class of multicast index coding problems where a sender transmits messages to multiple receivers, each with some side information. Here, each receiver knows a unique message a priori, and there is no restriction…
Gradient coding is a distributed computing technique aiming to provide robustness against slow or non-responsive computing nodes, known as stragglers, while balancing the computational load for responsive computing nodes. Among existing…
The index coding problem is studied from an interference alignment perspective, providing new results as well as new insights into, and generalizations of, previously known results. An equivalence is established between multiple unicast…
