In this paper, we determine depth spectra of all repeated-root $(\alpha+\gamma \beta)$-constacyclic codes of arbitrary lengths over a finite commutative chain ring $\mathcal{R},$ where $\alpha$ is a non-zero element of the Teichm\"{u}ller…

Generalized Bicycle (GB) codes offer a compelling alternative to surface codes for quantum error correction. This paper focuses on (2,2)-Generalized Bicycle codes, constructed from pairs of binary circulant matrices with two non-zero…

In previous papers we introduced a class of polynomials which follow the same recursive formula as the Lucas-Lehmer numbers, studying the distribution of their zeros and remarking that this distribution follows a sequence related to the…

A Gallai coloring of a complete graph $K_n$ is an edge coloring without triangles colored with three different colors. A sequence $e_1\ge \dots \ge e_k$ of positive integers is an $(n,k)$-sequence if $\sum_{i=1}^k e_i=\binom{n}{2}$. An…

Although real-world text datasets, such as DNA sequences, are far from being uniformly random, average-case string searching algorithms perform significantly better than worst-case ones in most applications of interest. In this paper, we…

Binary self-dual sequences have been considered and analyzed throughout the years, and they have been used for various applications. Motivated by a construction for single-track Gray codes, we examine the structure and recursive…

We show that all invertible $n \times n$ matrices over any finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ can be generated in a Gray code fashion. More specifically, there exists a listing such that (1) each matrix appears exactly once, and (2) two…

This paper generalizes Wyner's definition of common information of a pair of random variables to that of $N$ random variables. We prove coding theorems that show the same operational meanings for the common information of two random…

Let $k \leq n$ be nonnegative integers and let $\lambda$ be a partition of $k$. S. Griffin recently introduced a quotient $R_{n,\lambda}$ of the polynomial ring $\mathbb{Q}[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ in $n$ variables which simultaneously generalizes…

An orientable sequence of order $n$ is a cyclic binary sequence such that each length-$n$ substring appears at most once \emph{in either direction}. Maximal length orientable sequences are known only for $n\leq 7$, and a trivial upper bound…

A constant weight binary code consists of $n$-bit binary codewords, each with exactly $w$ bits equal to 1, such that any two codewords are at least Hamming distance $d$ apart. $A(n,d,w)$ is the maximum size of a constant weight binary code…

Index Coding has received considerable attention recently motivated in part by real-world applications and in part by its connection to Network Coding. The basic setting of Index Coding encodes the problem input as an undirected graph and…

Let $\beta$ be any permutation on $n$ symbols and let $c(k, \beta)$ be the number of permutations that $k$-commute with $\beta$. The cycle type of a permutation $\beta$ is a vector $(c_1, \dots, c_n)$ such that $\beta$ has exactly $c_i$…

We classify all binary error correcting completely regular codes of length $n$ with minimum distance $\delta>n/2$.

In this paper, we study the hardness of decoding a random code endowed with the cover metric. As the cover metric lies in between the Hamming and rank metric, it presents itself as a promising candidate for code-based cryptography. We give…

Gap Hamming Distance is a well-studied problem in communication complexity, in which Alice and Bob have to decide whether the Hamming distance between their respective n-bit inputs is less than n/2-sqrt(n) or greater than n/2+sqrt(n). We…

The \emph{book graph} of order $(n+2)$, denoted by $B_{n}$, is the graph with $n$ distinct copies of triangles sharing a common edge called the `base'. A cycle of order $m$ is denoted by $C_{m}$. A lot of studies have been done in recent…

We call an $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ regainingly approximable if there exists a computable nondecreasing sequence $(a_n)_n$ of rational numbers converging to $\alpha$ with $\alpha - a_n < 2^{-n}$ for infinitely many $n \in \mathbb{N}$. We…

Repeated root Cyclic and Negacyclic codes over Galois rings have been studied much less than their simple root counterparts. This situation is beginning to change. For example, repeated root codes of length $p^s$, where $p$ is the…

Given a $q$-ary frequency hopping sequence set of length $n$ and size $M$ with Hamming correlation $H$, one can obtain a $q$-ary (nonlinear) cyclic code of length $n$ and size $nM$ with Hamming distance $n-H$. Thus, every upper bound on the…
