We introduce the sum channel, a new channel model motivated by applications in distributed storage and DNA data storage. In the error-free case, it takes as input an $\ell$-row binary matrix and outputs an $(\ell+1)$-row matrix whose first…

We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct deletions that are localized within a certain part of the codeword that is unknown a priori. Namely, the model that we study is when at most $k$ deletions occur in a window of…
