In this paper, we investigate the optimum way to allocate redundancy of finite-length nested codes for modern nonvolatile memories suffering from both permanent defects and transient errors (erasures or random errors). A nested coding…
The DNA storage channel is considered, in which the $M$ Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules comprising each codeword are stored without order, sampled $N$ times with replacement, and then sequenced over a discrete memoryless channel. For…
Evaluating the channel capacity is one of many key problems in information theory. In this work we derive rather-mild sufficient conditions under which the capacity is finite and achievable. These conditions are derived for generic,…
