Already in the 1960s, Levenshtein and others studied error-correcting codes that protect against synchronization errors, such as symbol insertions and deletions. However, despite significant efforts, progress on designing such codes has…
MDS (maximum distance separable) array codes are widely used in storage systems due to their computationally efficient encoding and decoding procedures. An MDS code with r redundancy nodes can correct any r erasures by accessing (reading)…
Levenshtein introduced the problem of constructing $k$-deletion correcting codes in 1966, proved that the optimal redundancy of those codes is $O(k\log N)$, and proposed an optimal redundancy single-deletion correcting code (using the…
We investigate the problem of encoding data into an $(n, t)$-break-resilient code ($(n, t)$-BRC), i.e., a collections of sequences of length~$n$ from which the original data can be reconstructed even if they are adversarially broken at up…
Distributed storage systems need to store data redundantly in order to provide some fault-tolerance and guarantee system reliability. Different coding techniques have been proposed to provide the required redundancy more efficiently than…
Consider a binary word being transmitted through a communication channel that introduces deletable errors where each bit of the word is either retained, flipped, erased or deleted. The simplest code for correcting \emph{all} possible…
We consider the problem of constructing binary codes to recover from $k$-bit deletions with efficient encoding/decoding, for a fixed $k$. The single deletion case is well understood, with the Varshamov-Tenengolts-Levenshtein code from 1965…
We consider the locally repairable codes (LRC), aiming at sequential recovering multiple erasures. We define the (n,k,r,t)-SLRC (Sequential Locally Repairable Codes) as an [n,k] linear code where any t'(>= t) erasures can be sequentially…
Motivated by applications in in-vivo DNA storage, we study codes for correcting duplications. A reverse-complement duplication of length $k$ is the insertion of the reversed and complemented copy of a substring of length $k$ adjacent to its…
Erasure correcting codes are widely used to ensure data persistence in distributed storage systems. This paper addresses the simultaneous repair of multiple failures in such codes. We go beyond existing work (i.e., regenerating codes by…
Quantum synchronisation errors are a class of quantum errors that change the number of qubits in a quantum system. The classical error correction of synchronisation errors has been well-studied, including an insertion-deletion equivalence…
In this work, multilayer crisscross error and erasures are considered, which affect entire rows and columns in the matrices of a list of matrices. To measure such errors and erasures, the multi-cover metric is introduced. Several bounds are…
The problem of designing codes for deletion-correction and synchronization has received renewed interest due to applications in DNA-based data storage systems that use nanopore sequencers as readout platforms. In almost all instances,…
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…
We generalize Helberg's number-theoretic construction of multiple insertion-deletion correcting binary codes to non-binary alphabets and describe a linear decoding algorithm for correcting multiple deletions.
We consider the problem of designing [n; k] linear codes for distributed storage systems (DSS) that satisfy the (r, t)-Local Repair Property, where any t'(<=t) simultaneously failed nodes can be locally repaired, each with locality r. The…
This paper proves that any quantum t-deletion-correcting codes also correct a total of t insertion and deletion errors under a certain condition. Here, this condition is that a set of quantum states is defined as a quantum error-correcting…
The sequence reconstruction problem involves a model where a sequence is transmitted over several identical channels. This model investigates the minimum number of channels required for the unique reconstruction of the transmitted sequence.…
Several well known large scale linear programming decomposition methodologies exist. Benders Decomposition, which covers the case where some small subset of variables link the otherwise separable subproblems. Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition and…
In this work, we introduce maximally recoverable codes with locality and availability. We consider locally repairable codes (LRCs) where certain subsets of $ t $ symbols belong each to $ N $ local repair sets, which are pairwise disjoint…
