Symbol-pair codes introduced by Cassuto and Blaum in 2010 are designed to protect against the pair errors in symbol-pair read channels. One of the central themes in symbol-error correction is the construction of maximal distance separable…
This paper deals with the problem of increasing the minimum distance of a linear code by adding one or more columns to the generator matrix. Several methods to compute extensions of linear codes are presented. Many codes improving the…
An $(n,k,l)$ MDS array code of length $n,$ dimension $k=n-r$ and sub-packetization $l$ is formed of $l\times n$ matrices over a finite field $F,$ with every column of the matrix stored on a separate node in a distributed storage system and…
We study a family of sorting match puzzles on grids, which we call permutation match puzzles. In this puzzle, each row and column of a $n \times n$ grid is labeled with an ordering constraint -- ascending (A) or descending (D) -- and the…
We consider the problem of constructing deletion correcting codes over a binary alphabet and take a graph theoretic view. An $n$-bit $s$-deletion correcting code is an independent set in a particular graph. We propose constructing such a…
Distance-increasing maps from binary vectors to permutations, namely DIMs, are useful for the construction of permutation arrays. While a simple mapping algorithm defining DIMs of even length is known, existing DIMs of odd length are either…
Let $p(n)$ denote the partition function. In this paper our main goal is to derive an asymptotic expansion up to order $N$ (for any fixed positive integer $N$) along with estimates for error bounds for the shifted quotient of the partition…
Andrews, Lewis and Lovejoy introduced the partition function $PD(n)$ as the number of partitions of $n$ with designated summands. In a recent work, Lin studied a partition function $PD_{t}(n)$ which counts the number of tagged parts over…
In this paper, we provide an efficient algorithm to construct almost optimal $(k,n,d)$-superimposed codes with runlength constraints. A $(k,n,d)$-superimposed code of length $t$ is a $t \times n$ binary matrix such that any two 1's in each…
A new recursive construction of $N$-ary error-correcting output code (ECOC) matrices for ensemble classification methods is presented, generalizing the classic doubling construction for binary Hadamard matrices. Given any prime integer $N$,…
The present paper mainly studies limits and constructions of insertion and deletion (insdel for short) codes. The paper can be divided into two parts. The first part focuses on various bounds, while the second part concentrates on…
The lattice of partitions of a set and its d-divisible generalization have been much studied for their combinatorial, topological, and representation-theoretic properties. An ordered set partition is a set partition where the subsets are…
Recently, a novel method based on coding partitions [1]-[4] has been used to derive power series expansions to previously intractable problems. In this method the coefficients at $k$ are determined by summing the contributions made by each…
We design new polynomials for representing threshold functions in three different regimes: probabilistic polynomials of low degree, which need far less randomness than previous constructions, polynomial threshold functions (PTFs) with…
Sum-rank Hamming codes are introduced in this work. They are essentially defined as the longest codes (thus of highest information rate) with minimum sum-rank distance at least $ 3 $ (thus one-error-correcting) for a fixed redundancy $ r $,…
We consider the problem of determining the maximum number of moves required to sort a permutation of $[n]$ using cut-and-paste operations, in which a segment is cut out and then pasted into the remaining string, possibly reversed. We give…
We show that the number $A(n,m)$ of partitions with $m$ even parts and largest hook length $n$ is strongly unimodal with mode [(n-1)/4] for $n\ge 6$. We establish this result by induction, using a $5$-term recurrence due to Lin, Xiong and…
Linear error-correcting codes form the mathematical backbone of modern digital communication and storage systems, but identifying champion linear codes (linear codes achieving or exceeding the best known minimum Hamming distance) remains…
We study aspects of the enumeration of permutation classes, sets of permutations closed downwards under the subpermutation order. First, we consider monotone grid classes of permutations. We present procedures for calculating the generating…
Permutation channels model communication and storage scenarios in which the positional identity of the physical carriers is partially or completely lost, so that the transmitted information is only accessible up to an unknown reordering.…
