Information Theory and Related Fields - Festschrift in Memory of Ning Cai

Ning Cai was an eminent mathematician, engineer and computer scientist who made many significant contributions to information theory. In particular, his work on network coding theory created a new research direction for the community.
Prof. Cai s passion for science inspired his collaborators across the fields of classical and quantum information theory, combinatorics, computation, post-Shannon theory, and coding theory, and the contributions in this volume reflect his success as a researcher and mentor.
