By a locally recoverable code (LRC), we will in this paper, mean a linear code in which a given code symbol can be recovered by taking a linear combination of at most $r$ other code symbols with $r << k$. A natural extension is to the local…

Recursive decoding techniques are considered for Reed-Muller (RM) codes of growing length $n$ and fixed order $r.$ An algorithm is designed that has complexity of order $n\log n$ and corrects most error patterns of weight up to…
Guess & Check (GC) codes are systematic binary codes that can correct multiple deletions, with high probability. GC codes have logarithmic redundancy in the length of the message $k$, and the encoding and decoding algorithms of these codes…

In this work, we derive upper bounds on the cardinality of tandem duplication and palindromic deletion correcting codes by deriving the generalized sphere packing bound for these error types. We first prove that an upper bound for tandem…
Determining the maximum number of unit vectors in $\mathbb{R}^r$ with no pairwise inner product exceeding $\alpha$ is a fundamental problem in geometry and coding theory. In 1955, Rankin resolved this problem for all $\alpha \leq 0$ and in…
We prove that for every odd $q\geq 3$, any $q$-query binary, possibly non-linear locally decodable code ($q$-LDC) $E:\{\pm1\}^k \rightarrow \{\pm1\}^n$ must satisfy $k \leq \tilde{O}(n^{1-2/q})$. For even $q$, this bound was established in…
