First, we state a generalization of the minimum-distance bound for PIR codes. Then we describe a construction for linear PIR codes using packing designs and use it to construct some new 5-PIR codes. Finally, we show that no encoder (linear…
New lower bounds on the minimum average Hamming distance of binary codes are derived. The bounds are obtained using linear programming approach.
In the first part of the paper, we present an (1+\mu)-approximation algorithm to the minimum-spanning tree of points in a planar arrangement of lines, where the metric is the number of crossings between the spanning tree and the lines. The…
We present examples which show that in dimension higher than one or codimension higher than two, there exist toric ideals I_A such that no binomial ideal contained in I_A and of the same dimension is a complete intersection. This result has…
Projective Reed-Muller codes(PRM codes) are constructed from the family of projective hypersurfaces of a fixed degree over a finite field $\F_q$. In this paper, we completely determine the minimal distance of the hull of any Projective…
An [n, k] linear code C that is subject to locality constraints imposed by a parity check matrix H0 is said to be a maximally recoverable (MR) code if it can recover from any erasure pattern that some k-dimensional subcode of the null space…
We prove a sufficient and a necessary condition for a square-free monomial ideal $J$ associated to a (dual) hypergraph to have projective dimension equal to the minimal number of generators of $J$ minus 2. We also provide an effective…
For an associative ring $R$, the projective level of a complex $F$ is the smallest number of mapping cones needed to build $F$ from projective $R$-modules. We establish lower bounds for the projective level of $F$ in terms of the vanishing…
In this paper we give a classification of complete intersection vanishing ideals on parameterized sets of clutter type over finite fields.
In this paper we consider binary linear codes spanned by incidence matrices of Steiner 2-designs associated with maximal arcs in projective planes of even order, and their dual codes. Upper and lower bounds on the 2-rank of the incidence…
This paper investigates the least-squares projection method for bounded linear operators, which provides a natural regularization scheme by projection for many ill-posed problems. Yet, without additional assumptions, the convergence of this…
Let $\bar{\Gamma}$ be the point-hyperplane geometry of a projective space $\mathrm{PG(V)},$ where $V$ is a $(n+1)$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of order $q.$ Suppose that $\sigma$ is an automorphism of…
The arithmetic rank of an ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field is the smallest number of equations needed to define its vanishing locus set-theoretically. We determine the arithmetic rank of the generic $m$-residual…
Some linear codes associated to maximal algebraic curves via Feng-Rao construction are investigated. In several case, these codes have better minimum distance with respect to the previously known linear codes with same length and dimension.
A subset of vertices of a graph is minimal if, within all subsets of the same size, its vertex boundary is minimal. We give a complete, geometric characterization of minimal sets for the planar integer lattice X. Our characterization…
In this paper, we give a geometric characterization of minimal linear codes. In particular, we relate minimal linear codes to cutting blocking sets, introduced in a recent paper by Bonini and Borello. Using this characterization, we derive…
Let A be an n by m matrix with real entries. Consider the set Bad_A of x \in [0,1)^n for which there exists a constant c(x)>0 such that for any q \in Z^m the distance between x and the point {Aq} is at least c(x) |q|^{-m/n}. It is shown…
Let $\mathfrak{M}$ be a class of metric spaces. A metric space $Y$ is minimal $\mathfrak{M}$-universal if every $X\in\mathfrak{M}$ can be isometrically embedded in $Y$ but there are no proper subsets of $Y$ satisfying this property. We find…
Recently, a lower bound was established on the size of linear sets in projective spaces, that intersect a hyperplane in a canonical subgeometry. There are several constructions showing that this bound is tight. In this paper, we generalize…
We consider a class of linear codes associated to projective algebraic varieties defined by the vanishing of minors of a fixed size of a generic matrix. It is seen that the resulting code has only a small number of distinct weights. The…
