The multicast capacity of a directed network is closely related to the $s$-$t$ maximum flow, which is equal to the $s$-$t$ minimum cut capacity due to the max-flow min-cut theorem. If the topology of a network (or link capacities) is…

In this paper, we study the problem of graph compression with side information at the decoder. The focus is on the situation when an unlabelled graph (which is also referred to as a structure) is to be compressed or is available as side…
