We analyze the Dawid-Rissanen prequential maximum likelihood codes relative to one-parameter exponential family models M. If data are i.i.d. according to an (essentially) arbitrary P, then the redundancy grows at rate c/2 ln n. We show that…
A (tandem) duplication of length $ k $ is an insertion of an exact copy of a substring of length $ k $ next to its original position. This and related types of impairments are of relevance in modeling communication in the presence of…
We present a data structure that stores a sequence $s[1..n]$ over alphabet $[1..\sigma]$ in $n\Ho(s) + o(n)(\Ho(s){+}1)$ bits, where $\Ho(s)$ is the zero-order entropy of $s$. This structure supports the queries \access, \rank\ and \select,…
Large-scale distributed storage systems typically use erasure codes to provide durability of data in the face of failures. A set of $k$ blocks to be stored is encoded using an $[n, k]$ code to generate $n$ blocks that are then stored on…

In this work, we propose constructions that correct duplications of multiple consecutive symbols. These errors are known as tandem duplications, where a sequence of symbols is repeated; respectively as palindromic duplications, where a…
An indel refers to a single insertion or deletion, while an edit refers to a single insertion, deletion or substitution. In this paper, we investigate codes that combat either a single indel or a single edit and provide linear-time…
Maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes are a class of erasure codes that are widely adopted to enhance the reliability of distributed storage systems (DSS). In (n, k) MDS coded DSS, the original data are stored into n distributed nodes in…
