Codes Correcting Two Deletions

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the problem of constructing codes capable of correcting two deletions. In particular, we construct a code that requires redundancy approximately 8 log n + O(log log n) bits of redundancy, where n is the length of the code. To the best of the author's knowledge, this represents the best known construction in that it requires the lowest number of redundant bits for a code correcting two deletions.
