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…

For the Tardos traitor tracing scheme, we show that by combining the symbol-symmetric accusation function of Skoric et al. with the improved analysis of Blayer and Tassa we get further improvements. Our construction gives codes that are up…

Context: Traceability is a key quality attribute of artifacts that are used in knowledge-intensive tasks and supports software engineers in producing higher-quality software. Despite its clear benefits, traceability is often neglected in…

A locally repairable code with availability has the property that every code symbol can be recovered from multiple, disjoint subsets of other symbols of small size. In particular, a code symbol is said to have $(r,t)$-availability if it can…

Long quasi-cyclic codes of any fixed index $>1$ have been shown to be asymptotically good, depending on Artin primitive root conjecture in (A. Alahmadi, C. G\"uneri, H. Shoaib, P. Sol\'e, 2017). We use this recent result to construct good…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $p$ be a prime. Assume that there exists a prime $q$ dividing $|G|$ which does not divide the order of any $p$-local subgroup of $G$. If $G$ is $p$-solvable or $q$ divides $p-1$, then $G$ has a $p$-block of…

In order to design and implement tracers, one must decide what exactly to trace and how to produce this trace. On the one hand, trace designs are too often guided by implementation concerns and are not as useful as they should be. On the…

We review the fingerprinting scheme by Tardos and show that it has a much better performance than suggested by the proofs in Tardos' original paper. In particular, the length of the codewords can be significantly reduced. First we…

Trace reconstruction is the problem of learning an unknown string $x$ from independent traces of $x$, where traces are generated by independently deleting each bit of $x$ with some deletion probability $q$. In this paper, we initiate the…

We study codes with a single check element derived from group rings, namely, checkable codes. The notion of a code-checkable group ring is introduced. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a group ring to be code-checkable are given in…

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…

A code is called solid if, roughly speaking, any correctly-transmitted codeword in an arbitrarily corrupted string of codewords can still be decoded correctly and unambiguously. So-called variable-length solid codes, in which codewords may…

Reconstruction codes are generalizations of error-correcting codes that can correct errors by a given number of noisy reads. The study of such codes was initiated by Levenshtein in 2001 and developed recently due to applications in modern…

Multi-twisted (MT) codes were introduced as a generalization of quasi-twisted (QT) codes. QT codes have been known to contain many good codes. In this work, we show that codes with good parameters and desirable properties can be obtained…

Locally recoverable codes were introduced by Gopalan et al. in 2012, and in the same year Prakash et al. introduced the concept of codes with locality, which are a type of locally recoverable codes. In this work we introduce a new family of…

Requirements traceability in safety-critical software development remains largely dependent on external documentation maintained separately from the systems it describes. This separation introduces structural fragility: traces degrade…

Locally recoverable (LRC) codes have recently been a focus point of research in coding theory due to their theoretical appeal and applications in distributed storage systems. In an LRC code, any erased symbol of a codeword can be recovered…
