A characterization of a class of optimal three-weight cyclic codes of dimension 3 over any finite field was recently presented in [10]. Shortly after this, a generalization for the sufficient numerical conditions of such characterization…
We consider compositions of natural numbers when there are different types of each natural number. Several recursions as well as some closed formulas for the number of compositions is derived. We also find its relationships with some known…
This paper investigates the application of the theoretical algebraic notion of a separable ring extension, in the realm of cyclic convolutional codes or, more generally, ideal codes. We work under very mild conditions, that cover all…
Quantum codes are subspaces of the state space of a quantum system that are used to protect quantum information. Some common classes of quantum codes are stabilizer (or additive) codes, non-stabilizer (or non-additive) codes obtained from…
Affine Cartesian codes are defined by evaluating multivariate polynomials at a cartesian product of finite subsets of a finite field. In this work we examine properties of these codes as batch codes. We consider the recovery sets to be…
We put forth new models for universal channel coding. Unlike standard codes which are designed for a specific type of channel, our most general universal code makes communication resilient on every channel, provided the noise level is below…
Aim of this paper is to count $0$-dimensional stable and strongly stable ideals in $2$ and $3$ variables, given their (constant) affine Hilbert polynomial. To do so, we define the Bar Code, a bidimensional structure representing any finite…
Recently, linear codes constructed from defining sets have been studied extensively. They may have nice parameters if the defining set is chosen properly. Let $ m >2$ be a positive integer. For an odd prime $ p $, let $ r=p^m $ and…
We describe and present a new construction method for codes using encodings from group rings. They consist primarily of two types: zero-divisor and unit-derived codes. Previous codes from group rings focused on ideals; for example cyclic…
A combinatorial Gray code for a set of combinatorial objects is a sequence of all combinatorial objects in the set so that each object is derived from the preceding object by changing a small part. In this paper we design a Gray code for…
We construct an encoding of finite strings over a fixed finite alphabet as natural numbers, based on a block partition of the Fibonacci sequence. Each position in the string selects one Fibonacci number from a dedicated block, with unused…
We introduce the concept of generalized concatenated quantum codes. This generalized concatenation method provides a systematical way for constructing good quantum codes, both stabilizer codes and nonadditive codes. Using this method, we…
We study the list decodability of different ensembles of codes over the real alphabet under the assumption of an omniscient adversary. It is a well-known result that when the source and the adversary have power constraints $ P $ and $ N $…
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…
Additive codes may have better parameters than linear codes. However, still very few cases are known and the explicit construction of such codes is a challenging problem. Here we show that a Griesmer type bound for the length of additive…
We define an extension of parity from the integers to the rational numbers. Three parity classes are found -- even, odd and `none'. Using the 2-adic valuation, we partition the rationals into subgroups with a rich algebraic structure. The…
Several upper bounds on the size of quantum codes are derived using the linear programming approach. These bounds are strengthened for the linear quantum codes.
We discuss inequalities holding between the vocabulary size, i.e., the number of distinct nonterminal symbols in a grammar-based compression for a string, and the excess length of the respective universal code, i.e., the code-based analog…
Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes form a natural generalization of quasi-cyclic (QC) codes. They are viewed here as mixed alphabet codes over a family of ring alphabets. Decomposing these rings into local rings by the Chinese Remainder…
Clifford codes can be understood as a generalization of stabilizer codes. To show the existence of a true Clifford code which is better than any stabilizer code is a well known open problem in the theory of Clifford codes. One of the main…
