We investigate the ratio $\rho_{n,L}$ of prefix codes to all uniquely decodable codes over an $n$-letter alphabet and with length distribution $L$. For any integers $n\geq 2$ and $m\geq 1$, we construct a lower bound and an upper bound for…

Suppose that $P$ is a property that may be satisfied by a random code $C \subset \Sigma^n$. For example, for some $p \in (0,1)$, ${P}$ might be the property that there exist three elements of $C$ that lie in some Hamming ball of radius…

Folded Reed-Solomon codes are an explicit family of codes that achieve the optimal trade-off between rate and error-correction capability: specifically, for any $\eps > 0$, the author and Rudra (2006,08) presented an $n^{O(1/\eps)}$ time…

We prove several results on linear codes achieving list-recovery capacity. We show that random linear codes achieve list-recovery capacity with constant output list size (independent of the alphabet size and length). That is, over alphabets…
