Separating codes have their applications in collusion-secure fingerprinting for generic digital data, while they are also related to the other structures including hash family, intersection code and group testing. In this paper we study…
The maximum size of a binary code is studied as a function of its length N, minimum distance D, and minimum codeword weight W. This function B(N,D,W) is first characterized in terms of its exponential growth rate in the limit as N tends to…
Consider a $q$-ary block code satisfying the property that no $l$-letters long codeword's prefix occurs as a suffix of any codeword for $l$ inside some interval. We determine a general upper bound on the maximum size of these codes and a…
Error-correcting codes resilient to synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions are known as insdel codes. Due to their important applications in DNA storage and computational biology, insdel codes have recently become a focal…
Non-overlapping codes are a set of codewords such that the prefix of each codeword is not a suffix of any codeword in the set, including itself. If the lengths of the codewords are variable, it is additionally required that every codeword…
For any given alphabet of size $q$, a Homopolymer Free code (HF code) refers to an $(n, M, d)_q$ code of length $n$, size $M$ and minimum Hamming distance $d$, where all the codewords are homopolymer free sequences. For any given alphabet,…
Separable codes were introduced to provide protection against illegal redistribution of copyrighted multimedia material. Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a code of length $n$ over an alphabet of $q$ letters. The descendant code ${\sf…

For a binary code $\Gamma$ of length $v$, a $v$-word $w$ produces by a set of codewords $\{w^1,...,w^r\} \subseteq \Gamma$ if for all $i=1,...,v$, we have $w_i\in \{w_i^1, ..., w_i^r\}$ . We call a code $r$-secure frameproof of size $t$ if…
In this work, we prove new results concerning the combinatorial properties of random linear codes. Firstly, we prove a lower bound on the list-size required for random linear codes over $\mathbb F_q$ $\varepsilon$-close to capacity to…
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 derive theoretical upper and lower bounds on the maximum size of DNA codes of length n with constant GC-content w and minimum Hamming distance d, both with and without the additional constraint that the minimum Hamming distance between…
Non-overlapping codes have been studied for almost 60 years. In such a code, no proper, non-empty prefix of any codeword is a suffix of any codeword. In this paper, we study codes in which overlaps of certain specified sizes are forbidden.…
In [1] a syndrome counting based upper bound on the minimum distance of regular binary LDPC codes is given. In this paper we extend the bound to the case of irregular and generalized LDPC codes over GF(q). The comparison to the lower bound…
This paper examines linear binary codes capable of correcting one or more errors. For the single-error-correcting case, it is shown that the Hamming bound is achieved by a constructive method, and an exact expression for the minimal…
Bounds on linear codes play a central role in coding theory, as they capture the fundamental trade-off between error-correction capability (minimum distance) and information rate (dimension relative to length). Classical results…
For nonnegative integers $q,n,d$, let $A_q(n,d)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a code of length $n$ over an alphabet $[q]$ with $q$ letters and with minimum distance at least $d$. We consider the following upper bound on $A_q(n,d)$. For…
For an integer $q\ge 2$, a perfect $q$-hash code $C$ is a block code over $[q]:=\{1,\ldots,q\}$ of length $n$ in which every subset $\{\mathbf{c}_1,\mathbf{c}_2,\dots,\mathbf{c}_q\}$ of $q$ elements is separated, i.e., there exists…
In this paper, we present a new lower bound on the size of separating hash families of type {w_1^{q-1},w_2} where w_1 < w_2. Our result extends the paper by Guo et al. on binary frameproof codes. This bound compares well against known…
In this paper upper and lower bounds on the probability of decoding failure under maximum likelihood decoding are derived for different (nonbinary) Raptor code constructions. In particular four different constructions are considered; (i)…
