The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…
This article has two interpenetrating motifs. One is an exposition of some major ideas and techniques behind the use of block matrices, and especially their positivity properties. This is done by focussing on one major problem:…
The rank metric measures the distance between two matrices by the rank of their difference. Codes designed for the rank metric have attracted considerable attention in recent years, reinforced by network coding and further motivated by a…

The usual scenario in fault tolerant quantum computation involves certain amount of qubits encoded in each code block, transversal operations between them and destructive measurements of ancillary code blocks. We introduce a new approach in…

This paper discusses a general method for spectral type theorems using metric spaces instead of vector spaces. Advantages of this approach are that it applies to genuinely non-linear situations and also to random versions. Metric analogs of…
The equivalence test is a main part in any classification problem. It helps to prove bounds for the main parameters of the considered combinatorial structures and to study their properties. In this paper, we present algorithms for…
