The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…
The present paper mainly studies limits and constructions of insertion and deletion (insdel for short) codes. The paper can be divided into two parts. The first part focuses on various bounds, while the second part concentrates on…
New asymptotic upper bounds are presented on the rate of sequences of locally repairable codes (LRCs) with a prescribed relative minimum distance and locality over a finite field $F$. The bounds apply to LRCs in which the recovery functions…
We consider the problem of describing the typical (possibly) non-linear code of minimum distance bounded from below over a large alphabet. We concentrate on block codes with the Hamming metric and on subspace codes with the injection…
Linear programming approaches have been applied to derive upper bounds on the size of classical codes and quantum codes. In this paper, we derive similar results for general quantum codes with entanglement assistance, including nonadditive…
We report two analytical bounds for quantum error-correcting codes that do not have preexisting classical counterparts. Firstly the quantum Hamming and Singleton bounds are combined into a single tighter bound, and then the combined bound…
In this article we present a unified treatment for obtaining bounds on the potential energy of codes in the general context of polynomial metric spaces (PM-spaces). The lower bounds we derive via the linear programming (LP) techniques of…
We propose to use the concept of the Hamming bound to derive the optimal criteria for learning hash codes with a deep network. In particular, when the number of binary hash codes (typically the number of image categories) and code length…
New lower bounds on the minimum average Hamming distance of binary codes are derived. The bounds are obtained using linear programming approach.
In this paper, we re-visit the combinatorial error model of Mazumdar et al. that models errors in high-density magnetic recording caused by lack of knowledge of grain boundaries in the recording medium. We present new upper bounds on the…
This paper computationally obtains optimal bounded-weight, binary, error-correcting codes for a variety of distance bounds and dimensions. We compare the sizes of our codes to the sizes of optimal constant-weight, binary, error-correcting…
We develop upper bounds on code size for an independent and identically distributed deletion and insertion channels for a given code length and target frame error probability. The bounds are obtained as a variation of a general converse…
We develop refinements of the Levenshtein bound in $q$-ary Hamming spaces by taking into account the discrete nature of the distances versus the continuous behavior of certain parameters used by Levenshtein. The first relevant cases are…
In this work, we prove new results concerning the combinatorial properties of random linear codes. Firstly, we prove a lower bound on the list-size required for random linear codes over $\mathbb F_q$ $\varepsilon$-close to capacity to…
In a {\em locally recoverable} or {\em repairable} code, any symbol of a codeword can be recovered by reading only a small (constant) number of other symbols. The notion of local recoverability is important in the area of distributed…
This paper studies codes that correct bursts of deletions. Namely, a code will be called a $b$-burst-deletion-correcting code if it can correct a deletion of any $b$ consecutive bits. While the lower bound on the redundancy of such codes…
We study ensembles of codes on graphs (generalized low-density parity-check, or LDPC codes) constructed from random graphs and fixed local constrained codes, and their extension to codes on hypergraphs. It is known that the average minimum…
Non-binary codes correcting multiple deletions have recently attracted a lot of attention. In this work, we focus on multiplicity-free codes, a family of non-binary codes where all symbols are distinct. Our main contribution is a new…
List-decoding and list-recovery are important generalizations of unique decoding that received considerable attention over the years. However, the optimal trade-off among list-decoding (resp. list-recovery) radius, list size, and the code…
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…
