We consider the problem of multiple description scalar quantizers and describing the achievable rate-distortion tuples in that setting. We formulate it as a combinatorial optimization problem of arranging numbers in a matrix to minimize the…

Given a graph $G$, a set $T$ of terminal vertices, and a demand graph $H$ on $T$, the \textsc{Multicut} problem asks for a set of edges of minimum weight that separates the pairs of terminals specified by the edges of $H$. The…

The index coding problem involves a sender with K messages to be transmitted across a broadcast channel, and a set of receivers each of which demands a subset of the K messages while having prior knowledge of a different subset as side…

Sum-rank Hamming codes are introduced in this work. They are essentially defined as the longest codes (thus of highest information rate) with minimum sum-rank distance at least $ 3 $ (thus one-error-correcting) for a fixed redundancy $ r $,…

We study finite-sum nonlinear programs with localized variable coupling encoded by a (hyper)graph. We introduce a graph-compliant decomposition framework that brings message passing into continuous optimization in a rigorous, implementable,…

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 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…

The transversal hypergraph problem is the task of enumerating the minimal hitting sets of a hypergraph. It is a long-standing open question whether this can be done in output-polynomial time. For hypergraphs whose solutions have bounded…

We describe a novel extension of subspace codes for noncoherent networks, suitable for use when the network is viewed as a communication system that introduces both dimension and symbol errors. We show that when symbol erasures occur in a…

We consider the subgraph isomorphism problem where, given two graphs G (source graph) and F (pattern graph), one is to decide whether there is a (not necessarily induced) subgraph of G isomorphic to F. While many practical heuristic…

A graph homomorphism is a vertex map which carries edges from a source graph to edges in a target graph. The instances of the Weighted Maximum H-Colourable Subgraph problem (MAX H-COL) are edge-weighted graphs G and the objective is to find…

In the pliable index coding (PICOD) problem, a server is to serve multiple clients, each of which possesses a unique subset of the complete message set as side information and requests a new message which it does not have. The goal of the…

A coloring of a connected graph $G$ is a function $f$ mapping the vertex set of $G$ into the set of all integers. For any subgraph $H$ of $G$, we denote the sum of the values of $f$ on the vertices of $H$ as $f(H)$. If for any integer $k\in…
