We initiate the study on fault-tolerant spanners in hypergraphs and develop fast algorithms for their constructions. A fault-tolerant (FT) spanner preserves approximate distances under network failures, often used in applications like…
We describe a novel extension of subspace codes for noncoherent networks, suitable for use when the network is viewed as a communication system that introduces both dimension and symbol errors. We show that when symbol erasures occur in a…
Recently, Gilmer proved the first constant lower bound for the union-closed sets conjecture via an information-theoretic argument. The heart of the argument is an entropic inequality involving the OR function of two i.i.d.\ binary vectors,…
A new class of exact-repair regenerating codes is constructed by stitching together shorter erasure correction codes, where the stitching pattern can be viewed as block designs. The proposed codes have the "help-by-transfer" property where…
A new lower bound on the minimum distance of q-ary cyclic codes is proposed. This bound improves upon the Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) bound and, for some codes, upon the Hartmann-Tzeng (HT) bound. Several Boston bounds are special…
We propose a new method to construct maximin distance designs with arbitrary number of dimensions and points. The proposed designs hold interleaved-layer structures and are by far the best maximin distance designs in four or more…
A variable-length code is a fix-free code if no codeword is a prefix or a suffix of any other codeword. In a fix-free code any finite sequence of codewords can be decoded in both directions, which can improve the robustness to channel noise…
We present a general framework for studying the multilevel structure of lattice network coding (LNC), which serves as the theoretical fundamental for solving the ring-based LNC problem in practice, with greatly reduced decoding complexity.…
Dihedral codes, particular cases of quasi-cyclic codes, have a nice algebraic structure which allows to store them efficiently. In this paper, we investigate it and prove some lower bounds on their dimension and minimum distance, in analogy…
The puncturing and shortening technique are two important approaches to constructing new linear codes from old ones. In the past 70 years, a lot of progress on the puncturing technique has been made, and many works on punctured linear codes…
We prove two results about transforming any convex polyhedron, modeled as a linkage L of its edges. First, if we subdivide each edge of L in half, then L can be continuously flattened into a plane. Second, if L is equilateral and we again…
Product codes are a class of quantum error correcting codes built from two or more constituent codes. They have recently gained prominence for a breakthrough yielding quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes with favorable scaling of…
This paper proposes two new distance measures, called functional Ward's linkages, for functional data clustering that are robust against outliers. Conventional Ward's linkage defines the distance between two clusters as the increase in sum…
In this paper we develop a technique to extend any bound for cyclic codes constructed from its defining sets (ds-bounds) to abelian (or multivariate) codes. We use this technique to improve the searching of new bounds for abelian codes.
A way to add an extra dimension is briefly discussed.
Linear codes over finite extension fields have widespread applications in theory and practice. In some scenarios, the decoder has a sequential access to the codeword symbols, giving rise to a hierarchical erasure structure. In this paper we…
We address the problem of tuning word embeddings for specific use cases and domains. We propose a new method that automatically combines multiple domain-specific embeddings, selected from a wide range of pre-trained domain-specific…
This paper studies the complexity of distributed construction of purely additive spanners in the CONGEST model. We describe algorithms for building such spanners in several cases. Because of the need to simultaneously make decisions at far…
We introduce new families of quantum Tanner codes, a class of quantum codes that first appeared in the work of Leverrier and Z\'emor (FOCS 2022). These codes are built from two classical Tanner codes, for which the underlying graphs are…
This article is the last of the series of articles where we reprove the foundational ideas of abstract six-functor formalisms developed by Liu-Zheng. We prove the theorem of partial adjoints, which is a simplicial technique of encoding…
