Recently, it was discovered by several authors that a $q$-ary optimal locally recoverable code, i.e., a locally recoverable code archiving the Singleton-type bound, can have length much bigger than $q+1$. This is quite different from the…
For quantum error-correcting codes to be realizable, it is important that the qubits subject to the code constraints exhibit some form of limited connectivity. The works of Bravyi & Terhal (BT) and Bravyi, Poulin & Terhal (BPT) established…
We show that entirely quantum Shannon theoretic methods, based on von Neumann entropies and their properties, can be used to derive Singleton bounds on the performance of entanglement-assisted hybrid classical-quantum (EACQ) error…
We show that a random puncturing of a code with good distance is list recoverable beyond the Johnson bound. In particular, this implies that there are Reed-Solomon codes that are list recoverable beyond the Johnson bound. It was previously…
We derive a linear programming bound on the maximum cardinality of error-correcting codes in the sum-rank metric. Based on computational experiments on relatively small instances, we observe that the obtained bounds outperform all…
Erasure coding techniques are used to increase the reliability of distributed storage systems while minimizing storage overhead. Also of interest is minimization of the bandwidth required to repair the system following a node failure. In a…
In the multiway cut problem, we are given an undirected graph with non-negative edge weights and a collection of $k$ terminal nodes, and the goal is to partition the node set of the graph into $k$ non-empty parts each containing exactly one…
Literature provides several bounds for quantum local recovery, which essentially consider the number of message qudits, the distance, the length, and the locality of the involved codes. We give a family of $J$-affine variety codes that…
An $(n,k,r)$ \emph{locally repairable code} (LRC) is an $[n,k,d]$ linear code where every code symbol can be repaired from at most $r$ other code symbols. An LRC is said to be optimal if the minimum distance attains the Singleton-like bound…
In this work we construct sequences of locally recoverable AG codes arising from a tower of function fields and give bound for the parameters of the obtained codes. In a particular case of a tower over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ for any odd $q$,…
We give a new lower bound on the expansion coefficient of an edge-vertex graph of a $d$-regular graph. As a consequence, we obtain an improvement on the lower bound on relative minimum distance of the expander codes constructed by Sipser…
We study linear bandits when the underlying reward function is not linear. Existing work relies on a uniform misspecification parameter $\epsilon$ that measures the sup-norm error of the best linear approximation. This results in an…
Exact calculations of the radiative corrections to the single spin asymmetry in the exclusive pion electroproduction below $\Delta(1232)$ resonance are performed by employing the EXCLURAD code. The analysis of the dependence of the obtained…
Given a topology of local parity-check constraints, a maximally recoverable code (MRC) can correct all erasure patterns that are information-theoretically correctable. In a grid-like topology, there are $a$ local constraints in every column…
We present a general framework for constructing high rate error correcting codes that are locally correctable (and hence locally decodable if linear) with a sublinear number of queries, based on lifting codes with respect to functions on…
Consider the following fundamental question of distributed storage networks: Given any arbitrary $(n,k,d)$ values, whether there exists an intelligent helper selection scheme (assuming unlimited memory and computing power) that can strictly…
Fractional repetition (FR) codes are a class of regenerating codes for distributed storage systems with an exact (table-based) repair process that is also uncoded, i.e., upon failure, a node is regenerated by simply downloading packets from…
We derive exact reconstruction methods for cracks consisting of unions of Lipschitz hypersurfaces in the context of Calder\'on's inverse conductivity problem. Our first method obtains upper bounds for the unknown cracks, bounds that can be…
The performance of Reed--Solomon codes (RS codes, for short) in the presence of insertion and deletion errors has attracted growing attention in recent literature. In this work, we further study this intriguing mathematical problem,…
We generalized to higher dimensions the notions of optical orthogonal codes. We establish uper bounds on the capacity of general $ n $-dimensional OOCs, and on specific types of ideal codes (codes with zero off-peak autocorrelation). The…
