This paper examines linear binary codes capable of correcting one or more errors. For the single-error-correcting case, it is shown that the Hamming bound is achieved by a constructive method, and an exact expression for the minimal…

We consider symmetric two-user Gaussian interference channel with common messages. We derive an upper bound on the sum capacity, and show that the upper bound is tight in the low interference regime, where the optimal transmission scheme is…

This text contains some notes on the Griesmer bound. In particular, we give a geometric proof of the Griesmer bound for the generalized weights and show that a Solomon--Stiffler type construction attains it if the minimum distance is…

Collective coherent (CC) errors are inevitable, as every physical qubit undergoes free evolution under its kinetic Hamiltonian. These errors can be more damaging than stochastic Pauli errors because they affect all qubits coherently,…

A famous open problem in the theory of quantum error-correcting codes is whether or not the parameters of an impure quantum code can violate the quantum Hamming bound for pure quantum codes. We partially solve this problem. We demonstrate…

In contrast to a maximum-likelihood decoder, it is often desirable to use an incomplete decoder that can detect its decoding errors with high probability. One common choice is the bounded distance decoder. Bounds are derived for the total…

The concept of optimal communication channels shapes our understanding of wave-based communication. Its analysis, however, always pertains to specific communication-domain geometries, without a general theory of scaling laws or fundamental…

In this paper we study the tradeoff between parallelism and communication cost in a map-reduce computation. For any problem that is not "embarrassingly parallel," the finer we partition the work of the reducers so that more parallelism can…

Sum-rank metric codes have recently attracted the attention of many researchers, due to their relevance in several applications. Mathematically, the sum-rank metric is a natural generalization of both the Hamming metric and the rank metric.…

We introduce randomized Limited View (LV) adversary codes that provide protection against an adversary that uses their partial view of the communication to construct an adversarial error vector to be added to the channel. For a codeword of…

An optimal constant-composition or constant-weight code of weight $w$ has linear size if and only if its distance $d$ is at least $2w-1$. When $d\geq 2w$, the determination of the exact size of such a constant-composition or constant-weight…
