A $\lambda$-fold $r$-packing (multiple radius-$r$ covering) in a Hamming metric space is a code $C$ such that the radius-$r$ balls centered in $C$ cover each vertex of the space by not more (not less, respectively) than $\lambda$ times. The…

A (tandem) duplication of length $ k $ is an insertion of an exact copy of a substring of length $ k $ next to its original position. This and related types of impairments are of relevance in modeling communication in the presence of…

We introduce a new type of $n$-dimensional generalization of symmetric $(v,k,\lambda)$ block designs. We prove upper bounds on the dimension $n$ in terms of $v$ and $k$. We also define the corresponding concept of $n$-dimensional difference…

Given five positive integers $v, m,k,\lambda$ and $t$ where $v \geq k \geq t$ and $v \geq m \geq t,$ a $t$-$(v,k,m,\lambda)$ general covering design is a pair $(X,\mathcal{B})$ where $X$ is a set of $v$ elements (called points) and…

We introduce a new method from number fields and codes to construct dense packings in the Euclidean spaces. Via the canonical $\mathbb{Q}$-embedding of arbitrary number field $K$ into $\mathbb{R}^{[K:\mathbb{Q}]}$, both the prime ideal…

Consider the point line-geometry ${\mathcal P}_t(n,k)$ having as points all the $[n,k]$-linear codes having minimum dual distance at least $t+1$ and where two points $X$ and $Y$ are collinear whenever $X\cap Y$ is a $[n,k-1]$-linear code…

We investigate the problem of finding inner ap-proximations of positive semidefinite (PSD) cones. We developa novel decomposition framework of the PSD cone by meansof conical combinations of smaller dimensional sub-cones. Weshow that many…

This work focuses on higgledy-piggledy sets of $k$-subspaces in $\text{PG}(N,q)$, i.e. sets of projective subspaces that are 'well-spread-out'. More precisely, the set of intersection points of these $k$-subspaces with any $(N-k)$-subspace…

Large sets of combinatorial designs has always been a fascinating topic in design theory. These designs form a partition of the whole space into combinatorial designs with the same parameters. In particular, a large set of block designs,…

A unitary design is a collection of unitary matrices that approximate the entire unitary group, much like a spherical design approximates the entire unit sphere. In this paper, we use irreducible representations of the unitary group to find…

Codes in the projective space and codes in the Grassmannian over a finite field - referred to as subspace codes and constant-dimension codes (CDCs), respectively - have been proposed for error control in random linear network coding. For…

Applying the Riemann geometric machinery of volume estimates in terms of curvature, bounds for the minimal distance of packings/codes in the Grassmann and Stiefel manifolds will be derived and analyzed. In the context of space-time block…

The Grassmannian, which is the manifold of all $k$-dimensional subspaces in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, was decomposed through three equivalent methods connecting combinatorial geometries, Schubert cells and convex polyhedra by…

In this manuscript, we consider decoding Grassmann codes, linear codes associated to Grassmannian of planes in an affine space. We look at the orbit structure of Grassmannian arising from the natural action of multiplicative group of…

In the Knapsack problem, one is given the task of packing a knapsack of a given size with items in order to gain a packing with a high profit value. An important connection to the $(\max,+)$-convolution problem has been established, where…

This article is about a decoding algorithm for error-correcting subspace codes. A version of this algorithm was previously described by Rosenthal, Silberstein and Trautmann. The decoding algorithm requires the code to be defined as the…

For every $n \geq 2$, let $K_k^n$ denote the hyperspace of all $k$-dimensional closed convex subsets of the Euclidean space $R^n$ endowed with the Atouch-Wets topology. Let $ K_{k,b}^n$ be the subset of $K_k^n$ consisting of all…

We give a lower bound for the size of a subset of $\mathbb F_q^n$ containing a rich k-plane in every direction, a k-plane Furstenberg set. The chief novelty of our method is that we use arguments on non-reduced subschemes and flat families…

Let $\mathscr{S}_n(q)$ denote the set of symmetric bilinear forms over an $n$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_q$-vector space. A subset $\mathcal{C}$ of $\mathscr{S}_n(q)$ is called a $d$-code if the rank of $A-B$ is larger than or equal to $d$ for…

A quantum code is a subspace of a Hilbert space of a physical system chosen to be correctable against a given class of errors, where information can be encoded. Ideally, the quantum code lies within the ground space of the physical system.…
