In this paper, we investigate codes designed to correct two bursts of deletions, where each burst has a length of exactly $b$, where $b>1$. The previous best construction, achieved through the syndrome compression technique, had a…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of designing $(n, N; \mathcal{B})$-reconstruction codes for $N\in \{14,11,9,5\}$, where $\mathcal{B}$ is the single-deletion single-substitution ball function that maps a sequence to the set of all…

We construct deletion error-correcting codes in the oblivious model, where errors are adversarial but oblivious to the encoder's randomness. Oblivious errors bridge the gap between the adversarial and random error models, and are motivated…

Motivated by the sequence reconstruction problem from traces in DNA-based storage, we consider the problem of designing codes for the deletion channel when multiple observations (or traces) are available to the decoder. We propose simple…

This paper studies \emph{linear} and \emph{affine} error-correcting codes for correcting synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions. We call such codes linear/affine insdel codes. Linear codes that can correct even a single…

We study error-correcting codes in the space $\mathcal{S}_{n,q}$ of length-$n$ multisets over a $q$-ary alphabet, motivated by permutation channels in which ordering is completely lost and errors act solely by deletions of symbols, i.e., by…
