Coding schemes for several problems in network information theory are constructed starting from point-to-point channel codes that are designed for symmetric channels. Given that the point-to-point codes satisfy certain properties pertaining…
The size of the Hamming distance spectrum of a code has received great attention in recent research. The main objective of this paper is to extend these significant theories to the $b$-symbol distance spectrum. We examine this question for…
We introduce a linear programming method to obtain bounds on the cardinality of codes in Grassmannian spaces for the chordal distance. We obtain explicit bounds, and an asymptotic bound that improves on the Hamming bound. Our approach…
We consider linear network error correction (LNEC) coding when errors may occur on edges of a communication network of which the topology is known. In this paper, we first revisit and explore the framework of LNEC coding, and then unify two…
The maximum labelled clique problem is a variant of the maximum clique problem where edges in the graph are given labels, and we are not allowed to use more than a certain number of distinct labels in a solution. We introduce a new…
In recent years, network coding has become one of the most interesting fields and has attracted considerable attention from both industry and academia. The idea of network coding is based on the concept of allowing intermediate nodes to…
We introduce the concepts of complex Grassmannian codes and designs. Let G(m,n) denote the set of m-dimensional subspaces of C^n: then a code is a finite subset of G(m,n) in which few distances occur, while a design is a finite subset of…
Two characteristic-dependent linear rank inequalities are given for eight variables. Specifically, the first inequality holds for all finite fields whose characteristic is not three and does not in general hold over characteristic three.…

A combinatorial framework for adversarial network coding is presented. Channels are described by specifying the possible actions that one or more (possibly coordinated) adversaries may take. Upper bounds on three notions of capacity (the…
Constant dimension codes are e.g. used for error correction and detection in random linear network coding, so that constructions for these codes have achieved wide attention. Here, we improve over 150 lower bounds by describing better…
For nonnegative integers $q,n,d$, let $A_q(n,d)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a code of length $n$ over an alphabet $[q]$ with $q$ letters and with minimum distance at least $d$. We consider the following upper bound on $A_q(n,d)$. For…
Flag codes have received a lot of attention due to its application in random network coding. In 2021, Alonso-Gonz\'{a}lez et al. constructed optimal $(n,\mathcal{A})$-Optimum distance flag codes(ODFC) for $\mathcal {A}\subseteq…
Vizing's celebrated theorem asserts that any graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ admits an edge coloring using at most $\Delta+1$ colors. In contrast, Bar-Noy, Naor and Motwani showed over a quarter century that the trivial greedy algorithm,…
We present a novel upper bound for the optimal index coding rate. Our bound uses a graph theoretic quantity called the local chromatic number. We show how a good local coloring can be used to create a good index code. The local coloring is…
The inducibility of a graph represents its maximum density as an induced subgraph over all possible sequences of graphs of size growing to infinity. This invariant of graphs has been extensively studied since its introduction in $1975$ by…

We investigate the distance properties of linear locally recoverable codes (LRC codes) with all-symbol locality and availability. New upper and lower bounds on the minimum distance of such codes are derived. The upper bound is based on the…
This note defines a flag vector for $i$-graphs. The construction applies to any finite combinatorial object that can be shelled. Two possible connections to quantum topology are mentioned. Further details appear in the author's "On quantum…
In this article we present an algorithm to compute bounds on the marginals of a graphical model. For several small clusters of nodes upper and lower bounds on the marginal values are computed independently of the rest of the network. The…
