We study lower bounds for Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) in the strongest setting: point sets in {0,1}^d under the Hamming distance. Recall that here H is said to be an (r, cr, p, q)-sensitive hash family if all pairs x, y in {0,1}^d with…
For a maximal outerplanar graph $G$ of order $n$ at least $3$, Matheson and Tarjan showed that $G$ has domination number at most $n/3$. Similarly, for a maximal outerplanar graph $G$ of order $n$ at least $5$, Dorfling, Hattingh, and Jonck…
A set $D$ of vertices in a graph $G = (V, E)$ is a locating-dominating set (LD-set) if it is dominating and every two vertices $u$, $v$ of $V\setminus D$ satisfy $N(u) \cap D \neq N(v) \cap D$. Two disjoint sets $A,B\subset V(G)$ form a…
The Hamming ball of radius $w$ in $\{0,1\}^n$ is the set ${\cal B}(n,w)$ of all binary words of length $n$ and Hamming weight at most $w$. We consider injective mappings $\varphi: \{0,1\}^m \to {\cal B}(n,w)$ with the following domination…
We investigate the packing and covering densities of linear and nonlinear binary codes, and establish a number of duality relationships between the packing and covering problems. Specifically, we prove that if almost all codes (in the class…
Locally recoverable (LRC) codes have recently been a focus point of research in coding theory due to their theoretical appeal and applications in distributed storage systems. In an LRC code, any erased symbol of a codeword can be recovered…
We revisit the problem of determining the independent domination number in hypercubes for which the known upper bound is still not tight for general dimensions. We present here a constructive method to build an independent dominating set…
Binary cyclic codes having large dimensions and minimum distances close to the square-root bound are highly valuable in applications where high-rate transmission and robust error correction are both essential. They provide an optimal…
In this short note we give a new upper bound for the size of a set family with a single Hamming distance. Our proof is an application of the linear algebra bound method.
We propose a new construction for low-density source codes with multiple parameters that can be tuned to optimize the performance of the code. In addition, we introduce a set of analysis techniques for deriving upper bounds for the expected…
We investigate the distance properties of linear locally recoverable codes (LRC codes) with all-symbol locality and availability. New upper and lower bounds on the minimum distance of such codes are derived. The upper bound is based on the…
In this paper we study combinatorial and algorithmic resp. complexity questions of upper domination, i.e., the maximum cardinality of a minimal dominating set in a graph. We give a full classification of the related maximisation and…
We investigate structural parameterizations of two identification problems: LOCATING-DOMINATING SET and TEST COVER. In the first problem, an input is a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and an integer $k$, and one asks if there is a subset $S$ of…
Content delivery networks often employ caching to reduce transmission rates from the central server to the end users. Recently, the technique of coded caching was introduced whereby coding in the caches and coded transmission signals from…
As a natural variant of domination in graphs, Dankelmann et al. [Domination with exponential decay, Discrete Math. 309 (2009) 5877-5883] introduce exponential domination, where vertices are considered to have some dominating power that…
J. Y. Hyun, et al. (Des. Codes Cryptogr., vol. 88, pp. 2475-2492, 2020) constructed some optimal and minimal binary linear codes generated by one or two order ideals in hierarchical posets of two levels. At the end of their paper, they left…
We give improved lower bounds for binary $3$-query locally correctable codes (3-LCCs) $C \colon \{0,1\}^k \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$. Specifically, we prove: (1) If $C$ is a linear design 3-LCC, then $n \geq 2^{(1 - o(1))\sqrt{k} }$. A design…
The Gilbert type bound for codes in the title is reviewed, both for small and large alphabets. Constructive lower bounds better than these existential bounds are derived from geometric codes, either over Fp or Fp2 ; or over even degree…
The quantum Hamming bound was originally put forward as an upper bound on the parameters of nondegenerate quantum codes, but over the past few decades much work has been done to show that many degenerate quantum codes must also obey this…
The dominating set problem has many practical applications but is well-known to be NP-hard. Therefore, there is a need for efficient approximation algorithms, especially in applications such as ad hoc wireless networks. Most distributed…
