On Index Coding and Graph Homomorphism
In this work, we study the problem of index coding from graph homomorphism
perspective. We show that the minimum broadcast rate of an index coding problem
for different variations of the problem such as non-linear, scalar, and vector
index code, can be upper bounded by the minimum broadcast rate of another index
coding problem when there exists a homomorphism from the complement of the side
information graph of the first problem to that of the second problem. As a
result, we show that several upper bounds on scalar and vector index code
problem are special cases of one of our main theorems.
For the linear scalar index coding problem, it has been shown in [1] that the
binary linear index of a graph is equal to a graph theoretical parameter called
minrank of the graph. For undirected graphs, in [2] it is shown that
if and only if there exists a homomorphism from
to a predefined graph . Combining these two results, it
follows that for undirected graphs, all the digraphs with linear index of at
most k coincide with the graphs for which there exists a homomorphism from
to . In this paper, we give a direct proof to this result
that works for digraphs as well.
We show how to use this classification result to generate lower bounds on
scalar and vector index. In particular, we provide a lower bound for the scalar
index of a digraph in terms of the chromatic number of its complement.
Using our framework, we show that by changing the field size, linear index of
a digraph can be at most increased by a factor that is independent from the
number of the nodes.Comment: 5 pages, to appear in "IEEE Information Theory Workshop", 201
Linearized Holographic Isotropization at Finite Coupling
We study holographic isotropization of an anisotropic homogeneous non-Abelian
strongly coupled plasma in the presence of Gauss-Bonnet corrections. It was
verified before that one can linearize Einstein's equations around the final
black hole background and simplify the complicated setup. Using this approach,
we study the expectation value of the boundary stress tensor. Although we
consider small values of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant, it is found that
finite coupling leads to significant increasing of the thermalization time. By
including higher order corrections in linearization, we extend the results to
study the effect of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling on the entropy production on the
event horizon.Comment: V2 and v3 are the same! version 4 is ne
Surfing in the phase space of spin-orbit coupling in binary asteroid systems
For a satellite with an irregular shape, which is the common shape among
asteroids, the well-known spin-orbit resonance problem could be changed to a
spin-orbit coupling problem since a decoupled model does not accurately capture
the dynamics of the system. In this paper, having provided a definition for
close binary asteroid systems, we explore the structure of the phase space in a
classical Hamiltonian model for spin-orbit coupling in a binary system. To map
out the geography of resonances analytically and the cartography of resonances
numerically, we reformulate a fourth-order gravitational potential function, in
Poincare variables, via Stokes coefficients. For a binary system with a
near-circular orbit, isolating the Hamiltonian near each resonance yields the
pendulum model. Analysis of the results shows the geographical information,
including the location and width of resonances, is modified due to the
prominent role of the semi-major axis in the spin-orbit coupling model but not
structurally altered. However, this resulted in modified Chirikov criterion to
predict onset of large-scale chaos. For a binary system with arbitrary closed
orbit, we thoroughly surf in the phase space via cartography of resonances
created by fast Lyapunov indicator (FLI) maps. The numerical study confirms the
analytical results, provides insight into the spin-orbit coupling, and shows
some bifurcations in the secondary resonances which can occur due to material
transfer. Also, we take the (65803) Didymos binary asteroid as a case to show
analytical and numerical results.Comment: 16 pages, 16 figures, accepted for publication in MNRA
On AVCs with Quadratic Constraints
In this work we study an Arbitrarily Varying Channel (AVC) with quadratic
power constraints on the transmitter and a so-called "oblivious" jammer (along
with additional AWGN) under a maximum probability of error criterion, and no
private randomness between the transmitter and the receiver. This is in
contrast to similar AVC models under the average probability of error criterion
considered in [1], and models wherein common randomness is allowed [2] -- these
distinctions are important in some communication scenarios outlined below.
We consider the regime where the jammer's power constraint is smaller than
the transmitter's power constraint (in the other regime it is known no positive
rate is possible). For this regime we show the existence of stochastic codes
(with no common randomness between the transmitter and receiver) that enables
reliable communication at the same rate as when the jammer is replaced with
AWGN with the same power constraint. This matches known information-theoretic
outer bounds. In addition to being a stronger result than that in [1] (enabling
recovery of the results therein), our proof techniques are also somewhat more
direct, and hence may be of independent interest.Comment: A shorter version of this work will be send to ISIT13, Istanbul. 8
