A covering code is a set of codewords with the property that the union of balls, suitably defined, around these codewords covers an entire space. Generally, the goal is to find the covering code with the minimum size codebook. While most…

Let $Q_n$ be the cube of side length one centered at the origin in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F$ be an affine $(n-d)$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ having distance to the origin less than or equal to $\frac 1 2$, where $0<d<n$. We…

Fix $k \in \mathbb{N}$ and $0 < \delta < 1$. We study how large $N$ must be so that every $\delta$-dense subset $\mathcal{D} \subset \{0,1\}^N$ (meaning $|\mathcal{D}| \geq \delta 2^N$) contains the image of a metric embedding $f: \{0,1\}^k…

Given a sphere of any radius $r$ in an $n$-dimensional Euclidean space, we study the coverings of this sphere with solid spheres of radius one. Our goal is to design a covering of the lowest covering density, which defines the average…

We reformulate the covering and quantizer problems as the determination of the ground states of interacting particles in $\mathbb{R}^d$ that generally involve single-body, two-body, three-body, and higher-body interactions. This is done by…

We discuss construction of coverings of the unit ball of a finite dimensional Banach space. The well known technique of comparing volumes gives upper and lower bounds on covering numbers. This technique does not provide a construction of…

We introduce a minor variant of the approximate D-optimal design of experiments with a more general information matrix that takes into account the representation of the design space S. The main motivation (and result) is that if S in R^d is…
