We consider data transmission across discrete memoryless channels (DMCs) using variable-length codes with feedback. We consider the family of such codes whose rates are $\rho_N$ below the channel capacity $C$, where $\rho_N$ is a positive…

Motivated by DNA-based data storage, we investigate a system where digital information is stored in an unordered set of several vectors over a finite alphabet. Each vector begins with a unique index that represents its position in the whole…

We construct deletion error-correcting codes in the oblivious model, where errors are adversarial but oblivious to the encoder's randomness. Oblivious errors bridge the gap between the adversarial and random error models, and are motivated…
