Many problems in nonlinear analysis and optimization, among them variational inequalities and minimization of convex functions, can be reduced to finding zeros (namely, roots) of set-valued operators. Hence numerous algorithms have been…
Perfect codes are arguably the most fascinating structures in combinatorial coding theory, and their classification and weight distribution are of considerable interest. This classification also involves the analysis of some related…
Perfect space-time codes were first introduced by Oggier et. al. to be the space-time codes that have full rate, full diversity-gain, non-vanishing determinant for increasing spectral efficiency, uniform average transmitted energy per…
This paper considers '$\delta$-almost Reed-Muller codes', i.e., linear codes spanned by evaluations of all but a $\delta$ fraction of monomials of degree at most $d$. It is shown that for any $\delta > 0$ and any $\varepsilon>0$, there…
We investigate various aspects of operator quantum error-correcting codes or, as we prefer to call them, subsystem codes. We give various methods to derive subsystem codes from classical codes. We give a proof for the existence of subsystem…
It is conjectured by Golomb and Welch around half a century ago that there is no perfect Lee codes $C$ of packing radius $r$ in $\mathbb{Z}^{n}$ for $r\geq2$ and $n\geq 3$. Recently, Leung and the second author proved this conjecture for…
Let $M$ be a commutative cancellative monoid. The set $\Delta(M)$, which consists of all positive integers which are distances between consecutive factorization lengths of elements in $M$, is a widely studied object in the theory of…
Binary linear [n,k] codes that are proper for error detection are known for many combinations of n and k. For the remaining combinations, existence of proper codes is conjectured. In this paper, a particular class of [n,k] codes is studied…
It is shown that polar codes achieve the symmetric capacity of discrete memoryless channels with arbitrary input alphabet sizes. It is shown that in general, channel polarization happens in several, rather than only two levels so that the…
The Krotov combining construction of perfect 1-error-correcting binary codes from 2000 and a theorem of Heden saying that every non-full-rank perfect 1-error-correcting binary code can be constructed by this combining construction is…
In this manuscript, we work over the non-chain ring $\mathcal{R} = \mathbb{F}_2[u]/\langle u^3 - u\rangle $. Let $m\in \mathbb{N}$ and let $L, M, N \subseteq [m]:=\{1, 2, \dots, m\}$. For $X\subseteq [m]$, define $\Delta_X:=\{v \in…
We formulate explicit predictions concerning the symmetry of optimal codes in compact metric spaces. This motivates the study of optimal codes in various spaces where these predictions can be tested.
Based on the theoretical neuroscience, G. Cotardo and A. Ravagnavi in \cite{CR} introduced a kind of asymmetric binary codes called combinatorial neural codes (CN codes for short), with a "matched metric" $\delta_{r}$ called asymmetric…
Extended formulations are an important tool in polyhedral combinatorics. Many combinatorial optimization problems require an exponential number of inequalities when modeled as a linear program in the natural space of variables. However, by…
A perfect code in a graph $\Gamma = (V, E)$ is a subset $C$ of $V$ that is an independent set such that every vertex in $V \setminus C$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. A total perfect code in $\Gamma$ is a subset $C$ of $V$ such…
X-codes form a special class of linear maps which were originally introduced for data compression in VLSI testing and are also known to give special parity-check matrices for linear codes suitable for error-erasure channels. In the context…
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…
In the present paper we introduce and study finite point subsets of a special kind, called optimum distributions, in the n-dimensional unit cube. Such distributions are closely related with known (delta,s,n)-nets of low discrepancy. It…
Ternary channels can be used to model the behavior of some memory devices, where information is stored in three different levels. In this paper, error correcting coding for a ternary channel where some of the error transitions are not…
We consider the problem of designing low-redundancy codes in settings where one must correct deletions in conjunction with substitutions or adjacent transpositions; a combination of errors that is usually observed in DNA-based data storage.…
