We present a novel technique for encoding and decoding constant weight binary codes that uses a geometric interpretation of the codebook. Our technique is based on embedding the codebook in a Euclidean space of dimension equal to the weight…

Encoding a dimension in the internal degree of freedom of an atom provides an interesting tool for quantum simulation, facilitating the realization of artificial gauge fields. We propose an extension of the synthetic dimension toolbox,…

Two points are randomly selected inside a three-dimensional euclidian cube. The value l of their separation lies somewhere between zero and the length of a diagonal of the cube. The probability density P(l) of the separation is obtained…

A new class of folded subspace codes for noncoherent network coding is presented. The codes can correct insertions and deletions beyond the unique decoding radius for any code rate $R\in[0,1]$. An efficient interpolation-based decoding…

Protein structures can be encoded into binary sequences, these are used to define a Hamming distance in conformational space: the distance between two different molecular conformations is the number of different bits in their sequences.…

We investigate additive codes, defined as $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear subspaces $C \subseteq \mathbb{F}_{q^h}^n$ of length $n$ and dimension $r$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$. An additive code is said to be of type $[n, r/h, d]_q^h$, where $d$ denotes the…

Suppose $C$ is a compact, $n$-edged two-cell of the centered dual decomposition of a locally finite set in the hyperbolic plane, a coarsening of the Delaunay tessellation which was introduced in the author's prior work. We describe an…

We introduce the so--called doubling metric on the collection of non--empty bounded open subsets of a metric space. Given a subset $U$ of a metric space $X$, the predecessor $U_{*}$ of $U$ is defined by doubling the radii of all open balls…

Unary coding is useful but it is redundant in its standard form. Unary coding can also be seen as spatial coding where the value of the number is determined by its place in an array. Motivated by biological finding that several neurons in…

Clumsy packing is considered an inefficient packing, meaning we find the minimum number of objects we can pack into a space so that we can not pack any more object. Thus we are effectively spacing out the objects as far apart as possible so…

A plane partition, whose 3D Young diagram is made of unit cubes, can be approximated by a ``coarser" plane partition, made of cubes of side length 2. Indeed, there are two such approximations obtained by ``rounding up" or ``rounding down"…
