We consider the distributed computation of a function of random sources with minimal communication. Specifically, given two discrete memoryless sources, X and Y , a receiver wishe...
Motivated by applications to sensor networks and privacy preserving databases, we consider the problem of functional compression. The objective is to separately compress possibly c...
We present an algorithmic approach to solving the problem of chromatic entropy, a combinatorial optimization problem related to graph coloring. This problem is a component in algor...
Abstract. The distance-2 graph coloring problem aims at partitioning the vertex set of a graph into the fewest sets consisting of vertices pairwise at distance greater than two fro...
Abstract—In this paper, we consider the problem of multifunctional compression with side information. The problem is how we can compress a source X so that the receiver is able t...
