Abstract

Motivated by applications in DNA-based storage, we study explicit encoding and decoding schemes of binary strings satisfying locally balanced constraints, where the (,δ)(\ell,\delta)-locally balanced constraint requires that the weight of any consecutive substring of length \ell is between 2δ\frac{\ell}{2}-\delta and 2+δ\frac{\ell}{2}+\delta. In this paper we present coding schemes for the strongly locally balanced constraints and the locally balanced constraints, respectively. Moreover, we introduce an additional result on the linear recurrence formula of the number of binary strings which are (6,1)(6,1)-locally balanced, as a further attempt to both capacity characterization and new coding strategies for locally balanced constraints.
