For any positive integer $g \ge 2$, we derive general condition for the existence of a $2g$-cycle in the Tanner graph of two-dimensional ($2$-D) classical quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Depending on whether $p$ is…

A code $C \subseteq \F_2^n$ is a $(c,\epsilon,\delta)$-expander code if it has a Tanner graph, where every variable node has degree $c$, and every subset of variable nodes $L_0$ such that $|L_0|\leq \delta n$ has at least $\epsilon c |L_0|$…
In a digital communication system, information is sent from one place to another over a noisy communication channel using binary symbols (bits). Original information is encoded by adding redundant bits, which are then used by low--density…
