We examine LDPC codes decoded using linear programming (LP). Four contributions to the LP framework are presented. First, a new method of tightening the LP relaxation, and thus improving the LP decoder, is proposed. Second, we present an…
In this paper we prove new lower bounds for the maximal size of permutation codes by connecting the theory of permutation codes with the theory of linear block codes. More specifically, using the columns of a parity check matrix of an…
Locally recoverable (LRC) codes have recently been a focus point of research in coding theory due to their theoretical appeal and applications in distributed storage systems. In an LRC code, any erased symbol of a codeword can be recovered…
A flag is a sequence of nested subspaces of a given ambient space F_q^n over a finite field F_q. In network coding, a flag code is a set of flags, all of them with the same sequence of dimensions, the type vector. In this paper, we…
This paper addresses the issue of design of low-rate sparse-graph codes with linear minimum distance in the blocklength. First, we define a necessary condition which needs to be satisfied when the linear minimum distance is to be ensured.…
This paper studies optimal quantum $(r,\delta)$-LRCs from matrix-product (MP) codes. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for an MP code to be an optimal $(r,\delta)$-LRC. Based on this, we present a characterization for…
We use a simple construction called `recursive subproducts' (that is known to yield good codes of lengths $n^m$, $n \geq 3$) to identify a family of codes sandwiched between first-order and second-order Reed-Muller (RM) codes. These codes…
This paper proposes new propagation rules on quantum codes in the entanglement-assisted and in quantum subsystem scenarios. The rules lead to new families of such quantum codes whose parameters are demonstrably optimal. To obtain the…
We study linear codes that maximize minimum distance subject to arbitrary support constraints on the parity-check matrix. Such constraints arise naturally in the design of LDPC codes, locally repairable codes, and hardware-constrained…
In this work, maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD) codes and linearized Reed-Solomon codes are extended to finite chain rings. It is proven that linearized Reed-Solomon codes are MSRD over finite chain rings, extending the known result for…
Locally repairable codes are widely applicable in contemporary large-scale distributed cloud storage systems and various other areas. By making use of some algebraic structures of elliptic curves, Li et al. developed a series of $q$-ary…
Reed-Solomon codes, a type of BCH codes, are widely employed in communication systems, storage devices and consumer electronics. This fact demonstrates the importance of BCH codes -- a family of cyclic codes -- in practice. In theory, BCH…
For a code $\code$, its $i$-th symbol is said to have locality $r$ if its value can be recovered by accessing some other $r$ symbols of $\code$. Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are the family of codes such that every symbol has locality…
In this paper, we introduce code distances, a new family of invariants for linear codes. We establish some properties and prove bounds on the code distances, and show that they are not invariants of the matroid (for a linear block code) or…
Locally repairable codes have become a key instrument in large-scale distributed storage systems. This paper focuses on the construction of locally repairable codes with $(r,\delta)$-locality that achieve the equality in the Singleton-type…
We investigate additive codes, defined as $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear subspaces $C \subseteq \mathbb{F}_{q^h}^n$ of length $n$ and dimension $r$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$. An additive code is said to be of type $[n, r/h, d]_q^h$, where $d$ denotes the…
Cyclic codes are an interesting family of linear codes since they have efficient decoding algorithms and contain optimal codes as subfamilies. Constructing infinite families of cyclic codes with good parameters is important in both theory…
We show that for (systematic) linear codes the time complexity of unique decoding is O(n^{2}q^{nRH(delta/2/R)}) and the time complexity of minimum distance decoding is O(n^{2}q^{nRH(delta/R)}). The proposed algorithm inspects all error…
The rate vs. distance problem is a long-standing open problem in coding theory. Recent papers have suggested a new way to tackle this problem by appealing to a new hierarchy of linear programs. If one can find good dual solutions to these…
As a generalization of cyclic codes, quasi-cyclic (QC) codes contain many good linear codes. But quasi-cyclic codes studied so far are mainly limited to one generator (1-generator) QC codes. In this correspondence, 2-generator and…
