We consider the weight spectrum of a class of quasi-perfect binary linear codes with code distance 4. For example, extended Hamming code and Panchenko code are the known members of this class. Also, it is known that in many cases Panchenko…
The merit factor of a $\{-1, 1\}$ binary sequence measures the collective smallness of its non-trivial aperiodic autocorrelations. Binary sequences with large merit factor are important in digital communications because they allow the…
In this paper we demonstrate connections between three seemingly unrelated concepts. (1) The discrete isoperimetric problem in the infinite binary tree with all the leaves at the same level, $ {\mathcal T}_{\infty}$: The $n$-th edge…
In this paper, the construction of finite-length binary sequences whose nonlinear complexity is not less than half of the length is investigated. By characterizing the structure of the sequences, an algorithm is proposed to generate all…
In this paper, new pairs of binary sequences with three cross correlation values are presented. The cross correlation values are shown to be low. Finally we present some numerical results and some open problems.
In this paper we consider codes in $\mathbb{F}_q^{s\times r}$ with packing radius $R$ regarding the NRT-metric (i.e. when the underlying poset is a disjoint union of chains with the same length) and we establish necessary condition on the…
We study the problem of existence of (nontrivial) perfect codes in the discrete $ n $-simplex $ \Delta_{\ell}^n := \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} x_0, \ldots, x_n \end{pmatrix} : x_i \in \mathbb{Z}_{+}, \sum_i x_i = \ell \right\} $ under $ \ell_1…
Binary sequences with low autocorrelations are important in communication engineering and in statistical mechanics as groundstates of the Bernasconi-model. Computer searches are the main tool to construct such sequences. Due to the…
Many automatic sequences, such as the Thue-Morse sequence or the Rudin-Shapiro sequence, have some desirable features of pseudorandomness such as a large linear complexity and a small well-distribution measure. However, they also have some…
In 1968, Golomb and Welch conjectured that there does not exist perfect Lee code in $\mathbb{Z}^{n}$ with radius $r\ge2$ and dimension $n\ge3$. Besides its own interest in coding theory and discrete geometry, this conjecture is also…
The identification of binary sequences with large merit factor (small mean-squared aperiodic autocorrelation) is an old problem of complex analysis and combinatorial optimization, with practical importance in digital communications…
Due to wide applications of binary sequences with low correlation to communications, various constructions of such sequences have been proposed in literature. However, most of the known constructions via finite fields make use of the…
Cohen and Kontorovich (COLT 2023) initiated the study of what we call here the Binomial Empirical Process: the maximal absolute value of a sequence of inhomogeneous normalized and centered binomials. They almost fully analyzed the case…
We introduce and prove numerous new results about the orbits of the $T$-fractal billiard. Specifically, in Section 3, we give a variety of sufficient conditions for the existence of a sequence of compatible periodic orbits. In Section 4, we…
The ground states of the Bernasconi model are binary +1/-1 sequences of length N with low autocorrelations. We introduce the notion of perfect sequences, binary sequences with one-valued off-peak correlations of minimum amount. If they…
For a prime $p\ge 5$ let $q_0,q_1,\ldots,q_{(p-3)/2}$ be the quadratic residues modulo $p$ in increasing order. We study two $(p-3)/2$-periodic binary sequences $(d_n)$ and $(t_n)$ defined by $d_n=q_n+q_{n+1}\bmod 2$ and $t_n=1$ if…
We analyze the connection between the autocorrelation of a binary sequence and its run structure given by the run length encoding. We show that both the periodic and the aperiodic autocorrelation of a binary sequence can be formulated in…
We present a construction of 1-perfect binary codes, which gives a new lower bound on the number of such codes. We conjecture that this lower bound is asymptotically tight.
This paper provides a semidefinite programming hierarchy based on state polynomial optimization to determine the existence of quantum codes with given parameters. The hierarchy is complete, in the sense that a $(\!(n, K, {\delta})\!)_2$…
Delsarte conjectured in 1973 that there are no nontrivial pefect codes in the Johnson scheme. Etzion and Schwartz recently showed that perfect codes must be k-regular for large k, and used this to show that there are no perfect codes…
