An edit refers to a single insertion, deletion, or substitution. This paper aims to construct binary codes that can correct two edits. To do this, a necessary and sufficient condition for a code to be two-edit correctable is provided,…
Correcting insertions/deletions as well as substitution errors simultaneously plays an important role in DNA-based storage systems as well as in classical communications. This paper deals with the fundamental task of constructing codes that…
In this paper, we investigate codes designed to correct two bursts of deletions, where each burst has a length of exactly $b$, where $b>1$. The previous best construction, achieved through the syndrome compression technique, had a…
We consider the problem of constructing binary codes to recover from $k$-bit deletions with efficient encoding/decoding, for a fixed $k$. The single deletion case is well understood, with the Varshamov-Tenengolts-Levenshtein code from 1965…
We consider the problem of efficient construction of q-ary 2-deletion correcting codes with low redundancy. We show that our construction requires less redundancy than any existing efficiently encodable q-ary 2-deletion correcting codes.…
We first give a construction of binary $t_1$-deletion-$t_2$-insertion-burst correcting codes with redundancy at most $\log(n)+(t_1-t_2-1)\log\log(n)+O(1)$, where $t_1\ge 2t_2$. Then we give an improved construction of binary codes capable…
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 paper, we construct systematic $q$-ary two-deletion correcting codes and burst-deletion correcting codes, where $q\geq 2$ is an even integer. For two-deletion codes, our construction has redundancy $5\log n+O(\log q\log\log n)$ and…
In this paper, we present an explicit construction of list-decodable codes for single-deletion and single-substitution with list size two and redundancy 3log n+4, where n is the block length of the code. Our construction has lower…
Recent work by Smagloy et al. (ISIT 2020) shows that the redundancy of a single-deletion $s$-substitution correcting code is asymptotically at least $(s+1)\log n+o(\log n)$, where $n$ is the length of the codes. They also provide a…
Levenshtein introduced the problem of constructing $k$-deletion correcting codes in 1966, proved that the optimal redundancy of those codes is $O(k\log N)$, and proposed an optimal redundancy single-deletion correcting code (using the…
We consider the problem of designing low-redundancy codes in settings where one must correct deletions in conjunction with substitutions or adjacent transpositions; a combination of errors that is usually observed in DNA-based data storage.…
This paper studies codes that correct bursts of deletions. Namely, a code will be called a $b$-burst-deletion-correcting code if it can correct a deletion of any $b$ consecutive bits. While the lower bound on the redundancy of such codes…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of designing $(n, N; \mathcal{B})$-reconstruction codes for $N\in \{14,11,9,5\}$, where $\mathcal{B}$ is the single-deletion single-substitution ball function that maps a sequence to the set of all…
In this paper, for any fixed positive integers $t$ and $q>2$, we construct $q$-ary codes correcting a burst of at most $t$ deletions with redundancy $\log n+8\log\log n+o(\log\log n)+\gamma_{q,t}$ bits and near-linear encoding/decoding…
We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct deletions that are localized within a certain part of the codeword that is unknown a priori. Namely, the model that we study is when at most $k$ deletions occur in a window of…
Construction of capacity achieving deletion correcting codes has been a baffling challenge for decades. A recent breakthrough by Brakensiek $et~al$., alongside novel applications in DNA storage, have reignited the interest in this…
In this paper, we present an efficiently encodable and decodable code construction that is capable of correction a burst of deletions of length at most $k$. The redundancy of this code is $\log n + k(k+1)/2\log \log n+c_k$ for some constant…
Consider a binary word being transmitted through a communication channel that introduces deletable errors where each bit of the word is either retained, flipped, erased or deleted. The simplest code for correcting \emph{all} possible…
Consider two or more strings $\mathbf{x}^1,\mathbf{x}^2,\ldots,$ that are concatenated to form $\mathbf{x}=\langle \mathbf{x}^1,\mathbf{x}^2,\ldots \rangle$. Suppose that up to $\delta$ deletions occur in each of the concatenated strings.…
