A general class of polynomial remainder codes is considered. Such codes are very flexible in rate and length and include Reed-Solomon codes as a special case. As an extension of previous work, two joint error-and-erasure decoding approaches…

We study optimal reconstruction codes over the multiple-burst substitution channel. Our main contribution is establishing a trade-off between the error-correction capability of the code, the number of reads used in the reconstruction…

The locally repairable codes (LRCs) were introduced to correct erasures efficiently in distributed storage systems. LRCs are extensively studied recently. In this paper, we first deal with the open case remained in \cite{q} and derive an…

We show that solving a multiple-unicast network coding problem can be reduced to solving a single-unicast network error correction problem, where an adversary may jam at most a single edge in the network. Specifically, we present an…

Erasure coding is a storage-efficient alternative to replication for achieving reliable data backup in distributed storage systems. During the storage process, traditional erasure codes require a unique source node to create and upload all…

This paper introduces a new approach to proving that a sequence of deterministic linear codes achieves capacity on an erasure channel under maximum a posteriori decoding. Rather than relying on the precise structure of the codes, this…

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…

This paper studies \emph{linear} and \emph{affine} error-correcting codes for correcting synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions. We call such codes linear/affine insdel codes. Linear codes that can correct even a single…

We consider the problem of correcting insertion and deletion errors in the $d$-dimensional space. This problem is well understood for vectors (one-dimensional space) and was recently studied for arrays (two-dimensional space). For vectors…

We study the application of polar codes in deletion channels by analyzing the cascade of a binary erasure channel (BEC) and a deletion channel. We show how polar codes can be used effectively on a BEC with a single deletion, and propose a…

One peculiarity with deletion-correcting codes is that perfect $t$-deletion-correcting codes of the same length over the same alphabet can have different numbers of codewords, because the balls of radius $t$ with respect to the…
