An improved Singleton-type upper bound is presented for the list decoding radius of linear codes, in terms of the code parameters [n,k,d] and the list size L. L-MDS codes are then defined as codes that attain this bound (under a slightly…

A generator matrix of a linear code $\C$ over $\gf(q)$ is also a matrix of the same rank $k$ over any extension field $\gf(q^\ell)$ and generates a linear code of the same length, same dimension and same minimum distance over $\gf(q^\ell)$,…

We present the theory of rank-metric codes with respect to the 3-tensors that generate them. We define the generator tensor and the parity check tensor of a matrix code, and describe the properties of a code through these objects. We define…

Let A be an M by N matrix (M < N) which is an instance of a real random Gaussian ensemble. In compressed sensing we are interested in finding the sparsest solution to the system of equations A x = y for a given y. In general, whenever the…

In a recent paper, Brakensiek, Gopi and Makam introduced higher order MDS codes as a generalization of MDS codes. An order-$\ell$ MDS code, denoted by $\operatorname{MDS}(\ell)$, has the property that any $\ell$ subspaces formed from…

Let $M$ be a representation of an acyclic quiver $Q$ over an infinite field $k$. We establish a deterministic algorithm for computing the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of $M$. The algorithm is polynomial in the dimensions of $M$, the weights…

The aim of this paper is to prove the achievability of several coding problems by using sparse matrices (the maximum column weight grows logarithmically in the block length) and maximal-likelihood (ML) coding. These problems are the…

We study graded rings of modular forms over congruence subgroups, with coefficients in a subring $A$ of $\mathbb{C}$, and specifically the highest weight needed to generate these rings as $A$-algebras. In particular, we determine upper…

We derive a general lower bound for the generalized Hamming weights of nested matrix-product codes, with a particular emphasis on the cases with two and three constituent codes. We also provide an upper bound which is reminiscent of the…

Perturbing a deterministic $n$-dimensional matrix with small Gaussian noise is a cornerstone of smoothed analysis of algorithms [Spielman and Teng, JACM 2004], as it reduces the condition number of the input to $O(n)$, and with it the…

Binary maximum distance separable (MDS) array codes are a special class of erasure codes for distributed storage that not only provide fault tolerance with minimum storage redundancy but also achieve low computational complexity. They are…

We present a unification and generalization of what is known in the literature as sequentially and hierarchically semi-separable (SSS and HSS) representations for matrices. Describing rank-structured representations of (inverses of) sparse…

The recently-emerging field of higher order MDS codes has sought to unify a number of concepts in coding theory. Such areas captured by higher order MDS codes include maximally recoverable (MR) tensor codes, codes with optimal list-decoding…

Lattices with a circulant generator matrix represent a subclass of cyclic lattices. This subclass can be described by a basis containing a vector and its circular shifts. In this paper, we present certain conditions under which the norm…

A pure quantum state is called $k$-uniform if all its reductions to $k$-qudit are maximally mixed. We investigate the general constructions of $k$-uniform pure quantum states of $n$ subsystems with $d$ levels. We provide one construction…

We investigate the fundamental limits of the recently proposed random access coverage depth problem for DNA data storage. Under this paradigm, it is assumed that the user information consists of $k$ information strands, which are encoded…

The determination of the maximal length of maximum distance separable (MDS) codes arising from elliptic curves is a central problem in coding theory. For an elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, let $\operatorname{MEC}(k,q)$ denote the…

We investigate the existence of maximal collections of mutually noncrossing $k$-element subsets of $\left\{ 1, \dots, n \right\}$ that are invariant under adding $k\pmod n$ to all indices. Our main result is that such a collection exists if…

Let $C$ be a $(n,q^{2k},n-k+1)_{q^2}$ additive MDS code which is linear over ${\mathbb F}_q$. We prove that if $n \geqslant q+k$ and $k+1$ of the projections of $C$ are linear over ${\mathbb F}_{q^2}$ then $C$ is linear over ${\mathbb…

The singleton defect of an $[n,k,d]$ linear code ${\cal C}$ is defined as $s({\cal C})=n-k+1-d$. Codes with $S({\cal C})=0$ are called maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, and codes with $S(\cal C)=S(\cal C ^{\bot})=1$ are called near…
