We consider set covering problems where the underlying set system satisfies a particular replacement property w.r.t. a given partial order on the elements: Whenever a set is in the set system then a set stemming from it via the replacement…
Non-uniquely decodable codes can be defined as the codes that cannot be uniquely decoded without additional disambiguation information. These are mainly the class of non-prefix-free codes, where a codeword can be a prefix of other(s), and…
The design of block codes for short information blocks (e.g., a thousand or less information bits) is an open research problem which is gaining relevance thanks to emerging applications in wireless communication networks. In this work, we…
This paper presents general bounds on the highest achievable rate for list-decodable insertion-deletion codes. In particular, we give novel outer and inner bounds for the highest achievable communication rate of any insertion-deletion code…
Consider a binary word being transmitted through a communication channel that introduces deletable errors where each bit of the word is either retained, flipped, erased or deleted. The simplest code for correcting \emph{all} possible…
Codes which attain the sphere packing bound are called perfect codes. The most important metrics in coding theory on which perfect codes are defined are the Hamming metric and the Johnson metric. While for the Hamming metric all perfect…
It is known that, for transmission over quasi-static MIMO fading channels with n transmit antennas, diversity can be obtained by using an inner fully diverse space-time block code while coding gain, derived from the determinant criterion,…
Graphical designs are an extension of spherical designs to functions on graphs. We connect linear codes to graphical designs on cube graphs, and show that the Hamming code in particular is a highly effective graphical design. We show that…
Introduced by Erd\H{o}s in 1950, a covering system of the integers is a finite collection of arithmetic progressions whose union is the set $\mathbb{Z}$. Many beautiful questions and conjectures about covering systems have been posed over…
The term "Cleaning Lemma" refers to a family of similar propositions that have been used in Quantum Coding Theory to estimate the minimum distance of a code in terms of its length and dimension. We show that the mathematical core is a…
The set of all error-correcting codes C over a fixed finite alphabet F of cardinality q determines the set of code points in the unit square with coordinates (R(C), delta (C)):= (relative transmission rate, relative minimal distance). The…
Decomposition spaces are a class of function spaces constructed out of well-behaved coverings and partitions of unity of a set. The structure of the covering of the set determines the properties of the decomposition space. Besov spaces,…
In this article, we study locating-dominating codes in binary Hamming spaces $\mathbb{F}^n$. Locating-dominating codes have been widely studied since their introduction in 1980s by Slater and Rall. They are dominating sets suitable for…
We study the problem of high-dimensional multiple packing in Euclidean space. Multiple packing is a natural generalization of sphere packing and is defined as follows. Let $ N>0 $ and $ L\in\mathbb{Z}_{\ge2} $. A multiple packing is a set…
For any given alphabet of size $q$, a Homopolymer Free code (HF code) refers to an $(n, M, d)_q$ code of length $n$, size $M$ and minimum Hamming distance $d$, where all the codewords are homopolymer free sequences. For any given alphabet,…
We introduce a generalization of classical $q$-ary codes by allowing points to cover other points that are Hamming distance $1$ or $2$ in a freely chosen subset of all directions. More specifically, we generalize the notion of $1$-covering,…
An equidistant code is a code in the Hamming space such that two distinct codewords have the same Hamming distance. This paper investigates the bounds for equidistant codes in Hamming spaces.
Linear erasure codes with local repairability are desirable for distributed data storage systems. An [n, k, d] code having all-symbol (r, \delta})-locality, denoted as (r, {\delta})a, is considered optimal if it also meets the minimum…
We consider deletion correcting codes over a q-ary alphabet. It is well known that any code capable of correcting s deletions can also correct any combination of s total insertions and deletions. To obtain asymptotic upper bounds on code…
We put forth new models for universal channel coding. Unlike standard codes which are designed for a specific type of channel, our most general universal code makes communication resilient on every channel, provided the noise level is below…
