A frame $(x_j)_{j\in J}$ for a Hilbert space $H$ allows for a linear and stable reconstruction of any vector $x\in H$ from the linear measurements $(\langle x,x_j\rangle)_{j\in J}$. However, there are many situations where some information…

We establish a duality result between linear index coding and Locally Repairable Codes (LRCs). Specifically, we show that a natural extension of LRCs we call Generalized Locally Repairable Codes (GLCRs) are exactly dual to linear index…
We investigate the duality of the binary erasure channel (BEC) and the binary defect channel (BDC). This duality holds for channel capacities, capacity achieving schemes, minimum distances, and upper bounds on the probability of failure to…

A class of two-bit bit flipping algorithms for decoding low-density parity-check codes over the binary symmetric channel was proposed in [1]. Initial results showed that decoders which employ a group of these algorithms operating in…
This paper studies \emph{linear} and \emph{affine} error-correcting codes for correcting synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions. We call such codes linear/affine insdel codes. Linear codes that can correct even a single…
The growing prevalence of tensor data, or multiway arrays, in science and engineering applications motivates the need for tensor decompositions that are robust against outliers. In this paper, we present a robust Tucker decomposition…
We derive a new fast convergent Density Evolution algorithm for finding optimal rate Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes used over the binary erasure channel (BEC). The fast convergence property comes from the modified Density Evolution…
Let $A_2(n,d)$ be the maximum size of a binary code of length $n$ and minimum distance $d$. In this paper we present the following new lower bounds: $A_2(18,4) \ge 5632$, $A_2(21,4) \ge 40960$, $A_2(22,4) \ge 81920$, $A_2(23,4) \ge 163840$,…
A locating-dominating set (LDS) of a graph $G$ is a dominating set $S$ of $G$ such that for every two vertices $u$ and $v$ in $V(G) \setminus S$, $N(u)\cap S \neq N(v)\cap S$. The locating-domination number $\gamma^{L}(G)$ is the minimum…
Given a finite alphabet $A$ and a binary relation $\tau\subseteq A^*\times A^*$, a set $X$ is $\tau$-{\it independent} if $ \tau(X)\cap X=\emptyset$. Given a quasi-metric $d$ over $A^*$ (in the meaning of \cite{W31}) and $k\ge 1$, we…
The VT and Helberg codes, both in binary and non-binary forms, stand as elegant solutions for rectifying insertion and deletion errors. In this paper we consider the quaternary versions of these codes. It is well known that many optimal…
