Binary maximum distance separable (MDS) array codes are a special class of erasure codes for distributed storage that not only provide fault tolerance with minimum storage redundancy but also achieve low computational complexity. They are…
In this work, we study linear error-correcting codes against adversarial insertion-deletion (indel) errors. While most constructions for the indel model are nonlinear, linear codes offer compact representations, efficient encoding, and…
The number of zeros and the number of ones in a binary string are referred to as the composition of the string, and the prefix-suffix compositions of a string are a multiset formed by the compositions of the prefixes and suffixes of all…
The repair bandwidth of a code is the minimum amount of data required to repair one or several failed nodes (erasures). For MDS codes, the repair bandwidth is bounded below by the so-called cut-set bound, and codes that meet this bound with…
MDS 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 $r$ node erasures by accessing all the remaining information…
Motivated by the need to communicate short control messages in 5G and beyond, this paper carefully designs codes for cyclic redundancy check (CRC)-aided list decoding of tail-biting convolutional codes (TBCCs) and polar codes. Both codes…
Distributed storage systems often introduce redundancy to increase reliability. When coding is used, the repair problem arises: if a node storing encoded information fails, in order to maintain the same level of reliability we need to…
In this paper, we prove the equivalence of inserting separable quantum states and deletions. Hence any quantum code that corrects deletions automatically corrects separable insertions. First, we describe the quantum insertion/deletion error…

The paper focuses on a new class of combinatorial problems which consists in restructuring of solutions (as sets/structures) in combinatorial optimization. Two main features of the restructuring process are examined: (i) a cost of the…
Consider two remote nodes (encoder and decoder), each with a binary sequence. The encoder's sequence $X$ differs from the decoder's sequence $Y$ by a small number of edits (deletions and insertions). The goal is to construct a message $M$,…
An erasure code is said to be a code with sequential recovery with parameters $r$ and $t$, if for any $s \leq t$ erased code symbols, there is an $s$-step recovery process in which at each step we recover exactly one erased code symbol by…

The persistent storage of big data requires advanced error correction schemes. The classical approach is to use error correcting codes (ECCs). This work studies an alternative approach, which uses the redundancy inherent in data itself for…
We consider analog error-correcting codes (analog ECCs) that are designed to correct/detect outlying errors arising in analog implementations of vector-matrix multiplication. The error-correction/detection capability of an analog ECC can be…
Distributed matrix multiplication is widely used in several scientific domains. It is well recognized that computation times on distributed clusters are often dominated by the slowest workers (called stragglers). Recent work has…
