Linear codes are the most important family of codes in cryptography and coding theory. Some codes have only a few weights and are widely used in many areas, such as authentication codes, secret sharing schemes and strongly regular graphs.…
We present a constraint-coding scheme to correct asymmetric magnitude-$1$ errors in multi-level non-volatile memories. For large numbers of such errors, the scheme is shown to deliver better correction capability compared to known…
We propose a strategy for the generation of fast and accurate versions of non-commutative recursive matrix multiplication algorithms. To generate these algorithms, we consider matrix and tensor norm bounds governing the stability and…
In this work, we introduce a framework to study the effect of random operations on the combinatorial list-decodability of a code. The operations we consider correspond to row and column operations on the matrix obtained from the code by…
In order to achieve fault tolerance, highly reliable system often require the ability to detect errors as soon as they occur and prevent the speared of erroneous information throughout the system. Thus, the need for codes capable of…
In his celebrated book "Mathematical Treatise in Nine Sections" of 1247, Qin, Jiushao described the Chinese remainder theorem with great detail and generality. He also gave a method for computing modular inverse under the name of "DaYan…
The product of a matrix chain consisting of $n$ matrices can be computed in $C_{n-1}$ (Catalan's number) different ways, each identified by a distinct parenthesisation of the chain. The best algorithm to select a parenthesisation that…
We consider a fast approximation algorithm for the linear matroid intersection problem. In this problem, we are given two $r \times n$ matrices $M_1$ and $M_2$, and the objective is to find a largest set of columns that are linearly…
In 1985, Janko and Tran Van Trung published an algorithm for constructing symmetric designs with prescribed automorphisms. This algorithm is based on the equations by Dembowski (1958) for tactical decompositions of point-block incidence…
This work introduces a new class of symmetric matrix structures, called harmonic structures, which enable the generation of all possible directed transitions $(x_i, x_{i+1})$ over a set of $n$ symbols, without internal repetitions. Unlike…
In the dictionary learning (or sparse coding) problem, we are given a collection of signals (vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$), and the goal is to find a "basis" in which the signals have a sparse (approximate) representation. The problem has…
Matrix completion, the problem of completing missing entries in a data matrix with low dimensional structure (such as rank), has seen many fruitful approaches and analyses. Tensor completion is the tensor analog, that attempts to impute…
In 1937, biologists Sturtevant and Tan posed a computational question: transform a chromosome represented by a permutation of genes, into a second permutation, using a minimum-length sequence of reversals, each inverting the order of a…
For a high-rate case, it is difficult to randomly construct good low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes of short and moderate lengths because their Tanner graphs are prone to making short cycles. Also, the existing high-rate quasi-cyclic…
We first present a simple recursive algorithm that generates cyclic rotation Gray codes for stamp foldings and semi-meanders, where consecutive strings differ by a stamp rotation. These are the first known Gray codes for stamp foldings and…
The iterative method of Sinkhorn allows, starting from an arbitrary real matrix with non-negative entries, to find a so-called 'scaled matrix' which is doubly stochastic, i.e. a matrix with all entries in the interval (0, 1) and with all…
Fast exact algorithms are known for Hamiltonian paths in undirected and directed bipartite graphs through elegant though involved algorithms that are quite different from each other. We devise algorithms that are simple and similar to each…
Matrix concentration inequalities and their recently discovered sharp counterparts provide powerful tools to bound the spectrum of random matrices whose entries are linear functions of independent random variables. However, in many…
We consider the problem of computing the rank of an m x n matrix A over a field. We present a randomized algorithm to find a set of r = rank(A) linearly independent columns in \~O(|A| + r^\omega) field operations, where |A| denotes the…
Hashing methods aim to learn a set of hash functions which map the original features to compact binary codes with similarity preserving in the Hamming space. Hashing has proven a valuable tool for large-scale information retrieval. We…
