In the low-rank matrix completion (LRMC) problem, the low-rank assumption means that the columns (or rows) of the matrix to be completed are points on a low-dimensional linear algebraic variety. This paper extends this thinking to cases…
Let $\bar{\Gamma}$ be the point-hyperplane geometry of a projective space $\mathrm{PG(V)},$ where $V$ is a $(n+1)$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of order $q.$ Suppose that $\sigma$ is an automorphism of…
This paper gives a complete classification of linear repetitivity (LR) for a natural class of aperiodic Euclidean cut and project schemes with convex polytopal windows. Our results cover those cut and project schemes for which the lattice…
We consider linear-programming (LP) decoding of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. While it is clear that one can use any general-purpose LP solver to solve the LP that appears in the decoding problem, we argue in this paper that the LP…
This paper addresses the issue of design of low-rate sparse-graph codes with linear minimum distance in the blocklength. First, we define a necessary condition which needs to be satisfied when the linear minimum distance is to be ensured.…
Let the finite distributive lattice $D$ be isomorphic to the congruence lattice of a finite lattice $L$. Let $Q$ denote those elements of $D$ that correspond to principal congruences under this isomorphism. Then $Q$ contains $0,1 \in D$ and…
In this paper, we tie together two well studied topics related to finite Desarguesian affine and projective planes. The first topic concerns directions determined by a set, or even a multiset, of points in an affine plane. The second topic…
Neural network decoding algorithms are recently introduced by Nachmani et al. to decode high-density parity-check (HDPC) codes. In contrast with iterative decoding algorithms such as sum-product or min-sum algorithms in which the weight of…
We present a new family of low-density parity-check (LDPC) convolutional codes that can be designed using ordered sets of progressive differences. We study their properties and define a subset of codes in this class that have some desirable…
In this text we develop the formalism of products and powers of linear codes under componentwise multiplication. As an expanded version of the author's talk at AGCT-14, focus is put mostly on basic properties and descriptive statements that…
We study finite-field extensions that preserve the same support as the parity-check matrices defining a given binary CSS code. Here, an LDPC-CSS code refers to a CSS code whose parity-check matrices are orthogonal in the sense that each…
In this paper we will estimate the main parameters of some evaluation codes which are known as projective parameterized codes. We will find the length of these codes and we will give a formula for the dimension in terms of the Hilbert…
Despite the NP hardness of acquiring minimum distance $d_m$ for linear codes theoretically, in this paper we propose one experimental method of finding minimum-weight codewords, the weight of which is equal to $d_m$ for LDPC codes. One…
This paper proposes a new approach to deriving a finite particle content, suitable for the construction of a gauge theory. Specifically, the outlined construction generates a finite set of irreducible gauge representations, which are…
In this paper, we introduce methods of encoding propositional logic programs in vector spaces. Interpretations are represented by vectors and programs are represented by matrices. The least model of a definite program is computed by…
The linear-programming decoding performance of a binary linear code crucially depends on the structure of the fundamental cone of the parity-check matrix that describes the code. Towards a better understanding of fundamental cones and the…
Matrices arising in scientific applications frequently admit linear low-rank approximations due to smoothness in the physical and/or temporal domain of the problem. In large-scale problems, computing an optimal low-rank approximation can be…
We present the theory of linear rank-metric codes from the point of view of their fundamental parameters. These are: the minimum rank distance, the rank distribution, the maximum rank, the covering radius, and the field size. The focus of…
In this paper, we study a class of linear codes defined by characteristic functions of certain subsets of a finite field. We derive a sufficient and necessary condition for such a code to be a minimal linear code by a character-theoretical…
In this paper we introduce and investigate rank-metric intersecting codes, a new class of linear codes in the rank-metric context, inspired by the well-studied notion of intersecting codes in the Hamming metric. A rank-metric code is said…
