A classic result due to Douglas establishes that, for odd spread $k$ and dimension $d=\frac{1}{2}(3k+3)$, all maximum length $(d,k)$ circuit codes are isomorphic. Using a recent result of Byrnes we extend Douglas's theorem to prove that,…

We study circuit codes with long bit runs (sequences of distinct transitions) and derive a formula for the maximum length for an infinite class of symmetric circuit codes with long bit runs. This formula also results in an improved lower…

Recently, Byrnes presented a formula for the maximum length of a symmetric circuit code that has a long bit run and odd spread. Here we show that the formula is also valid when the spread is even. We also establish that all maximum length…

Circuit codes are constructed from induced cycles in the graph of the $n$ dimensional hypercube. They are both theoretically and practically important, as circuit codes can be used as error correcting codes. When constructing circuit codes,…

In this paper it is proved that there are constants 0< c_2< c_1 such that an asymptotic formula can be given for the the number of (labeled) n-vertex graphs of diameter d whenever n tends to infinity and 2 < d < n - c_1 (log n). A typical…

We establish a general formula for the maximum size of finite length block codes with minimum pairwise distance no less than $d$. The achievability argument involves an iterative construction of a set of radius-$d$ balls, each centered at a…

This work is motivated by the problem of error correction in bit-shift channels with the so-called $ (d,k) $ input constraints (where successive $ 1 $'s are required to be separated by at least $ d $ and at most $ k $ zeros, $ 0 \leq d < k…

Let $C$ be a binary code of length $n$ with distances $0<d_1<\cdots<d_s\le n$. In this note we prove a general upper bound on the size of $C$ without any restriction on the distances $d_i$. The bound is asymptotically optimal.

A $k$-dispersed labelling of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is a labelling of the vertices of $G$ by the integers $1, \dots , n$ such that $d(i,i+1) \geq k$ for $1 \leq i \leq n-1$. $DL(G)$ denotes the maximum value of $k$ such that $G$ has a…

We study the generalized Chv\'atal-Sankoff constant $\gamma_{k,d}$, which represents the normalized expected length of the longest common subsequence (LCS) of $d$ independent uniformly random strings over an alphabet of size $k$. We derive…

Let A(q,n,d) denote the maximum size of a q-ary code of length n and distance d. We study the minimum asymptotic redundancy \rho(q,n,d)=n-log_q A(q,n,d) as n grows while q and d are fixed. For any d and q<=d-1, long algebraic codes are…

We consider the problem of finding $A_2(n,\{d_1,d_2\})$ defined as the maximal size of a binary (non-linear) code of length $n$ with two distances $d_1$ and $d_2$. Binary codes with distances $d$ and $d+2$ of size…

Fix $d \ge 3$. We show the existence of a constant $c>0$ such that any graph of diameter at most $d$ has average distance at most $d-c \frac{d^{3/2}}{\sqrt n}$, where $n$ is the number of vertices. Moreover, we exhibit graphs certifying…

Linear complementary dual (LCD) codes can provide an optimum linear coding solution for the two-user binary adder channel. LCD codes also can be used to against side-channel attacks and fault non-invasive attacks. Let $d_{LCD}(n, k)$ denote…

For a fixed integer $k\geqslant 2$, let $G\in \mathcal{G}(n,p)$ be a simple connected graph on $n\rightarrow\infty$ vertices with the expected degree $d=np$ satisfying $d\geqslant c$ and $d^{k-1}= o(n)$ for some large enough constant $c$.…

Given any integer d >= 3, let k be the smallest integer such that d < 2k log k. We prove that with high probability the chromatic number of a random d-regular graph is k, k+1, or k+2, and that if (2k-1) \log k < d < 2k \log k then the…

What is the maximum possible value of the lead coefficient of a degree $d$ polynomial $Q(x)$ if $|Q(1)|,|Q(2)|,\ldots,|Q(k)|$ are all less than or equal to one? More generally we write $L_{d,[x_k]}(x)$ for what we prove to be the unique…

Using recent developments on the theory of locally decodable codes, we prove that the critical size for Szemer\'edi's theorem with random differences is bounded from above by $N^{1-\frac{2}{k} + o(1)}$ for length-$k$ progressions. This…

Let $n$ points be placed independently in $d-$dimensional space according to the standard $d-$dimensional normal distribution. Let $d_n$ be the longest edge length for the nearest neighbor graph on these points. We show that \[\lim_{n \rar…
