Numerical optimization for the inverse design of photonic structures is a tool which is providing increasingly convincing results -- even though the wave nature of problems in photonics makes them particularly complex. In the meantime, the…

We study the Singleton-type bound that provides an upper limit on the minimum distance of locally repairable codes. We present an improved bound by carefully analyzing the combinatorial structure of the repair sets. Thus, we show the…
