In this paper, we present an efficiently encodable and decodable code construction that is capable of correction a burst of deletions of length at most $k$. The redundancy of this code is $\log n + k(k+1)/2\log \log n+c_k$ for some constant…

We consider the problem of constructing binary codes to recover from $k$-bit deletions with efficient encoding/decoding, for a fixed $k$. The single deletion case is well understood, with the Varshamov-Tenengolts-Levenshtein code from 1965…

A covering code is a set of codewords with the property that the union of balls, suitably defined, around these codewords covers an entire space. Generally, the goal is to find the covering code with the minimum size codebook. While most…

The deletion distance between two binary words $u,v \in \{0,1\}^n$ is the smallest $k$ such that $u$ and $v$ share a common subsequence of length $n-k$. A set $C$ of binary words of length $n$ is called a $k$-deletion code if every pair of…

We consider the maximum coding rate achievable by uniformly-random codes for the deletion channel. We prove an upper bound that's within 0.1 of the best known lower bounds for all values of the deletion probability $d,$ and much closer for…

This paper presents general bounds on the highest achievable rate for list-decodable insertion-deletion codes. In particular, we give novel outer and inner bounds for the highest achievable communication rate of any insertion-deletion code…

This work continues the study of linear error correcting codes against adversarial insertion deletion errors (insdel errors). Previously, the work of Cheng, Guruswami, Haeupler, and Li \cite{CGHL21} showed the existence of asymptotically…

Constructing Reed-Solomon (RS) codes that can correct insertion and deletion (ins-del) errors has been the focus of several recent studies. However, efficient decoding algorithms for such codes have received less attention and remain a…

In this paper motivated from subspace coding we introduce subspace-metric codes and subset-metric codes. These are coordinate-position independent pseudometrics and suitable for the folded codes. The half-Singleton upper bounds for linear…

In this paper we investigate known Singleton-like bounds in the Lee metric and characterize optimal codes, which turn out to be very few. We then focus on Plotkin-like bounds in the Lee metric and present a new bound that extends and…

We present novel bounds on the capacity of the independent and identically distributed binary deletion channel. Four upper bounds are obtained by providing the transmitter and the receiver with genie-aided information on suitably-defined…

Optimal locally repairable codes with information locality are considered. Optimal codes are constructed, whose length is also order-optimal with respect to a new bound on the code length derived in this paper. The length of the constructed…

List-decoding and list-recovery are important generalizations of unique decoding that received considerable attention over the years. However, the optimal trade-off among list-decoding (resp. list-recovery) radius, list size, and the code…

Codes in the Damerau--Levenshtein metric have been extensively studied recently owing to their applications in DNA-based data storage. In particular, Gabrys, Yaakobi, and Milenkovic (2017) designed a length-$n$ code correcting a single…

This work constructs codes that are efficiently decodable from a constant fraction of \emph{worst-case} insertion and deletion errors in three parameter settings: (i) Binary codes with rate approaching 1; (ii) Codes with constant rate for…

We give a complete answer to the following basic question: "What is the maximal fraction of deletions or insertions tolerable by $q$-ary list-decodable codes with non-vanishing information rate?" This question has been open even for binary…

This paper considers insertion and deletion channels with the additional assumption that the channel input sequence is implicitly divided into segments such that at most one edit can occur within a segment. No segment markers are available…

In the Levenshtein's sequence reconstruction problem a codeword is transmitted through $N$ channels and in each channel a set of errors is introduced to the transmitted word. In previous works, the restriction that each channel provides a…
