Correcting insertions/deletions as well as substitution errors simultaneously plays an important role in DNA-based storage systems as well as in classical communications. This paper deals with the fundamental task of constructing codes that…
We study segmented burst-deletion channels motivated by the observation that synchronization errors commonly occur in a bursty manner in real-world settings. In this channel model, transmitted sequences are implicitly divided into…

Codes correcting bursts of deletions and localized deletions have garnered significant research interest in recent years. One of the primary objectives is to construct codes with minimal redundancy. Currently, the best known constructions…
The paper deals with the perfect 1-error correcting codes over a finite field with $q$ elements (briefly $q$-ary 1-perfect codes). We show that the orthogonal code to the $q$-ary non-full-rank 1-perfect code of length $n = (q^{m}-1)/(q-1)$…

Perfect error correcting codes allow for an optimal transmission of information while guaranteeing error correction. For this reason, proving their existence has been a classical problem in both pure mathematics and information theory.…
Linear codes correcting one deletions have rate at most $1/2$. In this paper, we construct linear list decodable codes correcting edits with rate approaching $1$ and reasonable list size. Our encoder and decoder run in polynomial time.
This paper addresses fundamental challenges in two-dimensional error correction by constructing optimal codes for \emph{criss-cross deletions}. We consider an $ n \times n $ array $\boldsymbol{X}$ over a $ q $-ary alphabet $\Sigma_q := \{0,…
For an $(n,k,\ell)$ MDS array code over $\mathbb{F}_q$, how small can the repair bandwidth and repair I/O be under linear exact repair? We study this question in the regime where the field size $q$, the redundancy $r=n-k$, and the…
In this paper we study codes for correcting deletable errors in binary words, where each bit is either retained, substituted, erased or deleted and the total number of errors is much smaller compared to the length of the codeword. We…
An erasure channel with a fixed alphabet size $q$, where $q \gg 1$, is studied. It is proved that over any erasure channel (with or without memory), Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes achieve the minimum probability of error (assuming…

Codes that can correct up to $t$ symmetric errors and detect all unidirectional errors, known as $t$-EC-AUED codes, are studied in this paper. Given positive integers $q$, $a$ and $t$, let $n_q(a,t+1)$ denote the length of the shortest…
In this paper we present a family of $q$-ary nonlinear quasi-perfect codes with covering radius 2. The codes have length $n = q^m$ and size $ M = q^{n - m - 1}$ where $q$ is a prime power, $q \geq 3$, $m$ is an integer, $m \geq 2$. We prove…
We derive the coding capacity for duplication-correcting codes capable of correcting any number of duplications. We do so both for reverse-complement duplications, as well as palindromic (reverse) duplications. We show that except for…
