Typical random codes (TRC) in a communication scenario of source coding with side information at the decoder is the main subject of this work. We study the semi-deterministic code ensemble, which is a certain variant of the ordinary random…

Random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) have been widely studied both in AI and complexity theory. Empirically and theoretically, many random CSPs have been shown to exhibit a phase transition. As the ratio of constraints to…

The satisfiability threshold for constraint satisfaction problems is that value of the ratio of constraints (or clauses) to variables, above which the probability that a random instance of the problem has a solution is zero in the large…

Treewidth and hypertree width have proven to be highly successful structural parameters in the context of the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). When either of these parameters is bounded by a constant, then CSP becomes solvable in…

We introduce alphabet-permutation (AP) codes, a new family of error-correcting codes defined by iteratively applying random coordinate-wise permutations to a fixed initial word. A special case recovers random additive codes and random…

In this paper we investigate bounds on rate and minimum distance of codes with $t$ availability. We present bounds on minimum distance of a code with $t$ availability that are tighter than existing bounds. For bounds on rate of a code with…

The goal of property testing is to quickly distinguish between objects which satisfy a property and objects that are $\epsilon$-far from satisfying the property. There are now several general results in this area which show that natural…

We deal with the problem, initiated in [8], of finding randomized and quantum complexity of initial-value problems. We showed in [8] that a speed-up in both settings over the worst-case deterministic complexity is possible. In the present…

The rate of randomness (or dimension) of a string $\sigma$ is the ratio $C(\sigma)/|\sigma|$ where $C(\sigma)$ is the Kolmogorov complexity of $\sigma$. While it is known that a single computable transformation cannot increase the rate of…

We give new constructions of two classes of algebraic code families which are efficiently list decodable with small output list size from a fraction $1-R-\epsilon$ of adversarial errors where $R$ is the rate of the code, for any desired…

Lifted Reed-Solomon and multiplicity codes are classes of codes, constructed from specific sets of $m$-variate polynomials. These codes allow for the design of high-rate codes that can recover every codeword or information symbol from many…

We explore how the asymptotic structure of a random permutation of $[n]$ with $m$ inversions evolves, as $m$ increases, establishing thresholds for the appearance and disappearance of any classical, consecutive or vincular pattern. The…
