We give an explicit construction of length-$n$ binary codes capable of correcting the deletion of two bits that have size $2^n/n^{4+o(1)}$. This matches up to lower order terms the existential result, based on an inefficient greedy choice…

In this work, we present a new version of non-binary VT codes that are capable of correcting a single deletion or single insertion. Moreover, we provide the first known linear time algorithms that encode user messages into these codes of…

We study codes that are list-decodable under insertions and deletions. Specifically, we consider the setting where a codeword over some finite alphabet of size $q$ may suffer from $\delta$ fraction of adversarial deletions and $\gamma$…

We introduce synchronization strings as a novel way of efficiently dealing with synchronization errors, i.e., insertions and deletions. Synchronization errors are strictly more general and much harder to deal with than commonly considered…

List decoding of insertions and deletions in the Levenshtein metric is considered. The Levenshtein distance between two sequences is the minimum number of insertions and deletions needed to turn one of the sequences into the other. In this…

A single deletion error correcting code (SDECC) is a set of fixed-length sequences consisting of two types of symbols, 0 and 1, such that the original sequence can be recovered for at most one deletion error. The upper bound for the size of…

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…
