A complementary Gray code for binary n-tuples is one that, when all the tuples are complemented, is identical to itself; this is equivalent to the complement of the first half of the code being identical to the second half. We generalize…
An embedding of a code is a mapping that preserves distances between codewords. We prove that any code with code distance $\rho$ and length $d$ can be embedded into an MDS code with the same code distance and length but under a larger…
A graph is called $1$-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once. Let $G$ be a bipartite 1-planar graph with $n$ ($\ge 4$) vertices and $m$ edges. Karpov showed that $m\le 3n-8$ holds for even…
The topological color code and the toric code are two leading candidates for realizing fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here we show that the color code on a $d$-dimensional closed manifold is equivalent to multiple decoupled copies of…
Let $A(n,d)$ (respectively $A(n,d,w)$) be the maximum possible number of codewords in a binary code (respectively binary constant-weight $w$ code) of length $n$ and minimum Hamming distance at least $d$. By adding new linear constraints to…
For a fixed positive integer $k$, let $C(k,n)$ denote the number of two-color partitions of $n$ with odd smallest part and restrictions on even parts, and let $C_k(q)$ be its generating function. We show that $C(1,n)\equiv d(2n-1)\pmod{4}$…
Nearly perfect packing codes are those codes that meet the Johnson upper bound on the size of error-correcting codes. This bound is an improvement to the sphere-packing bound. A related bound for covering codes is known as the van Wee…
In this paper, we investigate binary reconstruction codes capable of correcting one deletion and one substitution. We define the \emph{single-deletion single-substitution ball} function $ \mathcal{B} $ as a mapping from a sequence to the…
In this work, connected cubic planar bipartite graphs and related binary self-dual codes are studied. Binary self-dual codes of length 16 are obtained by face-vertex incidence matrices of these graphs. By considering their lifts to the ring…
The hull of a linear code over finite fields is the intersection of the code and its dual, and linear codes with small hulls have applications in computational complexity and information protection. Linear codes with the smallest hull are…
A perfect $k$-coloring of the Boolean hypercube $Q_n$ is a function from the set of binary words of length $n$ onto a $k$-set of colors such that for any colors $i$ and $j$ every word of color $i$ has exactly $S(i,j)$ neighbors (at Hamming…
There is a one-to-one correspondence between $\ell$-quasi-cyclic codes over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ and linear codes over a ring $R = \mathbb F_q[Y]/(Y^m-1)$. Using this correspondence, we prove that every $\ell$-quasi-cyclic self-dual…
It is reasonable to expect the theory of quantum codes to be simplified in the case of codes of minimum distance 2; thus, it makes sense to examine such codes in the hopes that techniques that prove effective there will generalize. With…
To every binary linear [n,k]-code C we associate a quantum state ("codeket") belonging to the n-th tensor power of the 2-dimensional complex Hilbert space associated to the spin 1/2 particle. We completely characterize the expectation…
We show that any embedding of a planar graph can be encoded succinctly while efficiently answering a number of topological queries near-optimally. More precisely, we build on a succinct representation that encodes an embedding of $m$ edges…
Let $\chi_{\bar{k}}(n)$ be the number of colors required to color the $n$-dimensional hypercube such that no two vertices with the same color are at a distance at most $k$. In other words, $\chi_{\bar{k}}(n)$ is the minimum number of binary…
Perfect codes in the $n$-dimensio\-nal grid $\Lambda_n$ of the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^n$ ($0<n\in\mathbb{Z}$) and its quotient toroidal grids were obtained via the truncated distance in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ given between $u=(u_1,\cdots,u_n)$ and…
We propose new constructions for a two-dimensional ($2$D) perfect array, complete complementary code (CCC), and multiple CCCs as an optimal symmetrical $Z$-complementary code set (ZCCS). We propose a method to generate a two-dimensional…
We consider (symmetric, non-degenerate) bilinear spaces over a finite field and investigate the properties of their $\ell$-complementary subspaces, i.e., the subspaces that intersect their dual in dimension $\ell$. This concept generalizes…
Variable-length splittable codes are derived from encoding sequences of ordered integer pairs, where one of the pair's components is upper bounded by some constant, and the other one is any positive integer. Each pair is encoded by the…
