This study addresses the use of Reed-Solomon error correction codes in QR codes to enhance resilience against failures. To fully grasp this approach, a basic cryptographic context is provided, necessary for understanding Reed-Solomon codes.…
Let $\Bbb Z$ be the set of integers, and let $p$ be a prime of the form $4k+1$. Suppose $q\in\Bbb Z$, $2\nmid q$, $p\nmid q$, $p=c^2+d^2$, $c,d\in\Bbb Z$ and $c\equiv 1\pmod 4$. In this paper we continue to discuss congruences for…
We complete the building-up construction for self-dual codes by resolving the open cases over $GF(q)$ with $q \equiv 3 \pmod 4$, and over $\Z_{p^m}$ and Galois rings $\GR(p^m,r)$ with an odd prime $p$ satisfying $p \equiv 3 \pmod 4$ with…
One of the main problems in random network coding is to compute good lower and upper bounds on the achievable cardinality of the so-called subspace codes in the projective space $\mathcal{P}_q(n)$ for a given minimum distance. The…
For nonnegative integers $n_2, n_3$ and $d$, let $N(n_2,n_3,d)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a code of length $n_2+n_3$, with $n_2$ binary coordinates and $n_3$ ternary coordinates (in this order) and with minimum distance at least…
Many $q$-ary stabilizer quantum codes can be constructed from Hermitian self-orthogonal $q^2$-ary linear codes. This result can be generalized to $q^{2 m}$-ary linear codes, $m > 1$. We give a result for easily obtaining quantum codes from…
The set of all error-correcting codes C over a fixed finite alphabet F of cardinality q determines the set of code points in the unit square with coordinates (R(C), delta (C)):= (relative transmission rate, relative minimal distance). The…
Let $p\neq3$ be any prime and $l\neq3$ be any odd prime with $gcd(p,l)=1$. $F_{q}^{*}=\langle\xi\rangle$ is decomposed into mutually disjoint union of $gcd(q-1,3lp^{s})$ coset over the subgroup $\langle\xi^{3lp^{s}}\rangle$, where $\xi$ is…
Classical locally recoverable codes (LRCs) have become indispensable in distributed storage systems. They provide efficient recovery in terms of localized errors. Quantum LRCs have very recently been introduced for their potential…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are error correcting codes used in distributed data storage. A traditional approach is to look for codes which simultaneously maximize error tolerance and minimize storage space consumption. However, this…
For coprime positive integers $q$ and $e$, let $m(q,e)$ denote the least positive integer $t$ such that there exists a sum of $t$ powers of $q$ which is divisible by $e$. We prove an upper bound for $m(q.e)$ and investigate the case where…
Smart contracts automate the management of high-value assets, where vulnerabilities can lead to catastrophic financial losses. This challenge is amplified in Large Language Models (LLMs) by two interconnected failures: they operate as…
The problem of storing permutations in a distributed manner arises in several common scenarios, such as efficient updates of a large, encrypted, or compressed data set. This problem may be addressed in either a combinatorial or a coding…
We give a framework for generalizing LDPC code constructions that use Transversal Designs or related structures such as mutually orthogonal Latin squares. Our construction offers a broader range of code lengths and codes rates. Similar…
A (tandem) duplication of length $ k $ is an insertion of an exact copy of a substring of length $ k $ next to its original position. This and related types of impairments are of relevance in modeling communication in the presence of…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^{e}$ elements, where $p$ is a prime number and $e \geq 1$ is an integer. In this paper, by means of generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, we construct two new classes of quantum…
The coded trace reconstruction problem asks to construct a code $C\subset \{0,1\}^n$ such that any $x\in C$ is recoverable from independent outputs ("traces") of $x$ from a binary deletion channel (BDC). We present binary codes of rate…
We investigate the relation between the girth and the guaranteed error correction capability of $\gamma$-left regular LDPC codes when decoded using the bit flipping (serial and parallel) algorithms. A lower bound on the number of variable…
Compilers are a prime target for formal verification, since compiler bugs invalidate higher-level correctness guarantees, but compiler changes may become more labor-intensive to implement, if they must come with proof patches. One appealing…
In this work we construct a new class of maximal partial spreads in $PG(4,q)$, that we call $q$-added maximal partial spreads. We obtain them by depriving a spread of a hyperplane of some lines and adding $q+1$ lines not of the hyperplane…
