We explain how to optimize finite-length LDPC codes for transmission over the binary erasure channel. Our approach relies on an analytic approximation of the erasure probability. This is in turn based on a finite-length scaling result to…
For binary $[n,k,d]$ linear locally repairable codes (LRCs), two new upper bounds on $k$ are derived. The first one applies to LRCs with disjoint local repair groups, for general values of $n,d$ and locality $r$, containing some previously…
Linear complementary-dual (LCD for short) codes are linear codes that intersect with their duals trivially. LCD codes have been used in certain communication systems. It is recently found that LCD codes can be applied in cryptography. This…
The hull of a linear code is defined as the intersection of the code and its dual. This concept was initially introduced to classify finite projective planes. The hull plays a crucial role in determining the complexity of algorithms used to…
A family of LDPC codes, called LU(3,q) codes, has been constructed from q-regular bipartite graphs. Recently, P. Sin and Q. Xiang determined the dimensions of these codes in the case that q is a power of an odd prime. They also obtained a…
Locally repairable codes which are optimal with respect to the bound presented by Prakash et al. are considered. New upper bounds on the length of such optimal codes are derived. The new bounds both improve and generalize previously known…
We give a complete characterization of simple graphs whose adjacency matrices generate binary linear complementary dual (LCD) codes. In particular, we completely characterize a distance-regular graph which yields an LCD code in terms of the…
We determine the minimum possible column multiplicity of even, doubly-, and triply-even codes given their length. This refines a classification result for the possible lengths of $q^r$-divisible codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$. We also give a few…
In modern data storage systems, non-binary LDPC codes for recovering from disk failures are increasingly considered strong competitors to MDS codes such as Reed-Solomon codes. Since disk failures can be modeled as erasures, we analyze…
We obtain new linear programming (LP) and constructive bounds for the covering radius of binary orthogonal arrays of strength $2k$. Our LP bounds develop in two alternative scenarios. First, if a point $y \in F_2^n$, where the covering…
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…
LCD codes are linear codes that intersect with their dual trivially. Quasi cyclic codes that are LCD are characterized and studied by using their concatenated structure. Some asymptotic results are derived. Hermitian LCD codes are…
We present a bound on the size of linear codes. This bound is independent of other known bounds, e.g. the Griesmer bound.
Locally recoverable (LRC) codes provide a solution to single node failure in distributed storage systems, where it is a very common problem. On the other hand, linear complementary dual (LCD) codes are useful in fault injections attacks on…
We give improved lower bounds for binary $3$-query locally correctable codes (3-LCCs) $C \colon \{0,1\}^k \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$. Specifically, we prove: (1) If $C$ is a linear design 3-LCC, then $n \geq 2^{(1 - o(1))\sqrt{k} }$. A design…
We give results on the question of code optimality for linear codes over finite Frobenius rings for the homogeneous weight. This article improves on the existing Plotkin bound derived in an earlier paper, and suggests a version of a…
From a given $[n, k]$ code $C$, we give a method for constructing many $[n, k]$ codes $C'$ such that the hull dimensions of $C$ and $C'$ are identical. This method can be applied to constructions of both self-dual codes and linear…
We introduce new sufficient conditions for permutation and monomial equivalence of linear cyclic codes over various finite fields. We recall that monomial equivalence and isometric equivalence are the same relation for linear codes over…
A new ensemble of structured codes is introduced. These codes are called Quasi Linear Codes (QLC). The QLC's are constructed by taking subsets of linear codes. They have a looser structure compared to linear codes and are not closed under…
Linear complementary dual (LCD) maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are constructed to given specifications. For given $n$ and $r<n$, with $n$ or $r$ (or both) odd, MDS LCD $(n,r)$ codes are constructed over finite fields whose…
