For many hard computational problems, simple algorithms that run in time $2^n \cdot n^{O(1)}$ arise, say, from enumerating all subsets of a size-$n$ set. Finding (exponentially) faster algorithms is a natural goal that has driven much of…

Length-constrained expander decompositions are a new graph decomposition that has led to several recent breakthroughs in fast graph algorithms. Roughly, an $(h, s)$-length $\phi$-expander decomposition is a small collection of length…
It was shown in \cite{GXY18} that the length $n$ of a $q$-ary linear locally recoverable code with distance $d\ge 5$ is upper bounded by $O(dq^3)$. Thus, it is a challenging problem to construct $q$-ary locally recoverable codes with…
Maximum distance separable (MDS) array codes are XOR-based optimal erasure codes that are particularly suitable for use in disk arrays. This paper develops an innovative method to build MDS array codes from an elegant class of nested…
In list-decodable subspace recovery, the input is a collection of $n$ points $\alpha n$ (for some $\alpha \ll 1/2$) of which are drawn i.i.d. from a distribution $\mathcal{D}$ with a isotropic rank $r$ covariance $\Pi_*$ (the…
This paper studies the parameters for which Reed-Muller (RM) codes over $GF(2)$ can correct random erasures and random errors with high probability, and in particular when can they achieve capacity for these two classical channels.…
We present the first polynomial-time algorithm for computing a near-optimal \emph{flow}-expander decomposition. Given a graph $G$ and a parameter $\phi$, our algorithm removes at most a $\phi\log^{1+o(1)}n$ fraction of edges so that every…
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 explore the relationship between polar and RM codes and we describe a coding scheme which improves upon the performance of the standard polar code at practical block lengths. Our starting point is the experimental observation that RM…
