We give a complete determination of the exact optimal worst-case repair bandwidth and repair I/O for linear exact repair of $(n,n-2,2)$ MDS array codes over every finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and for every admissible code length $3\le n\le…
A Random Access query to a string $T\in [0..\sigma)^n$ asks for the character $T[i]$ at a given position $i\in [0..n)$. In $O(n\log\sigma)$ bits of space, this fundamental task admits constant-time queries. While this is optimal in the…
