Coded caching can improve fundamental limits of communication, utilizing storage memory at individual users. This paper considers a centralized coded system, introducing heterogeneous cache sizes the users, i.e., users' memories are different size. The goal is to design placement and delivery policies that minimize worst-case load on server. To end, proposes an optimization framework for schemes which explicitly accounts heterogeneity sizes. We also characterize optimal scheme, case where...
