We present a hypergraph coloring based approach to pliable index coding (PICOD). We represent the given PICOD problem using a hypergraph consisting of $m$ messages as vertices and the request-sets of the $n$ clients as hyperedges. A conflict-free …

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 server is …
