Second order asymptotics of fixed-length source coding and intrinsic randomness is discussed with a constant error constraint. There was a difference between optimal rates of fixed-length source coding and intrinsic randomness, which never…
This paper shows that the probability that the error exponent of a given code randomly generated from a pairwise independent ensemble being smaller than a lower bound on the typical random-coding exponent tends to zero as the codeword…
A new family of binary linear completely transitive (and, therefore, completely regular) codes is constructed. The covering radius of these codes is growing with the length of the code. In particular, for any integer r > 1, there exist two…
A sum-network is a directed acyclic network in which all terminal nodes demand the `sum' of the independent information observed at the source nodes. Many characteristics of the well-studied multiple-unicast network communication problem…
A directed acyclic network is considered where all the terminals need to recover the sum of the symbols generated at all the sources. We call such a network a sum-network. It is shown that there exists a solvably (and linear solvably)…
Traditional error-correcting codes (ECCs) assume a fixed message length, but many scenarios involve ongoing or indefinite transmissions where the message length is not known in advance. For example, when streaming a video, the user should…
A set ${\cal A} \subseteq \Set{1,...,N}$ is of type $B_2$ if all sums $a+b$, with $a\ge b$, $a,b\in {\cal A}$, are distinct. It is well known that the largest such set is of size asymptotic to $N^{1/2}$. For a $B_2$ set ${\cal A}$ of this…
A graphical realization of a linear code C consists of an assignment of the coordinates of C to the vertices of a graph, along with a specification of linear state spaces and linear ``local constraint'' codes to be associated with the edges…
The bilateral minimum distance of a binary linear code is the maximum $d$ such that all nonzero codewords have weights between $d$ and $n-d$. Let $Q\subset \{0,1\}^n$ be a binary linear code whose dual has bilateral minimum distance at…
An optimal constant-composition or constant-weight code of weight $w$ has linear size if and only if its distance $d$ is at least $2w-1$. When $d\geq 2w$, the determination of the exact size of such a constant-composition or constant-weight…
The set of all error-correcting codes C over a fixed finite alphabet F of cardinality q determines the set of code points in the unit square with coordinates (R(C), delta (C)):= (relative transmission rate, relative minimal distance). The…
We derive a formula expressing the average number $E_n$ of real lines on a random hypersurface of degree $2n-3$ in $\mathbb{R}\textrm{P}^n$ in terms of the expected modulus of the determinant of a special random matrix. In the case $n=3$ we…
A binary code is said to be a disjunctive list-decoding $s_L$-code (LD $s_L$-code), $s \ge 2$, $L \ge 1$, if the code is identified by the incidence matrix of a family of finite sets in which the union (or disjunctive sum) of any $s$ sets…
In this work, we address the question of the largest rate of linear subcodes of Reed-Muller (RM) codes, all of whose codewords respect a runlength-limited (RLL) constraint. Our interest is in the $(d,\infty)$-RLL constraint, which mandates…
This work continues the study of linear error correcting codes against adversarial insertion deletion errors (insdel errors). Previously, the work of Cheng, Guruswami, Haeupler, and Li \cite{CGHL21} showed the existence of asymptotically…
We study the following natural arithmetic question regarding intersecting families: how large can a family of subsets of integers from $\{1, \ldots n\}$ be such that, for every pair of subsets in the family, the intersection contains a sum…
The index of codivisibility of a set of integers is the size of its largest subset with a common prime divisor. For large random samples of integers, the index of codivisibility is approximately normal.
In this paper, we consider the problem of distinguishing the noisy codewords of a known binary linear block code from a random bit sequence. We propose to use the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) to solve this problem. We also give…
Density evolution (DE) is one of the most powerful analytical tools for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes on memoryless binary-input/symmetric-output channels. The case of non-symmetric channels is tackled either by the LDPC coset code…
Motivated by applications to the theory of rank-metric codes, we study the problem of estimating the number of common complements of a family of subspaces over a finite field in terms of the cardinality of the family and its intersection…
