This paper gives some theory and efficient design of binary block systematic codes capable of controlling the deletions of the symbol ``$0$'' (referred to as $0$-deletions) and/or the insertions of the symbol ``$0$'' (referred to as…

Self-synchronization under the presence of additive noise can be achieved by allocating a certain number of bits of each codeword as markers for synchronization. Difference systems of sets are combinatorial designs which specify the…

An insdel refers to a deletion or an insertion, and an edit refers to an insdel or a substitution. In this paper, we consider the segmented single-insdel (resp. single-edit) channel, where the channel's input bit stream is partitioned into…
