We derive the optimal exponent of the error probability of the quantum fixed-length pure state source coding in both cases of blind coding and visible coding. The optimal exponent is universally attained by Jozsa et al. (PRL, 81, 1714…

Two tantalizing invariants of a combinatorial code $\mathcal C\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ are cdim$(\mathcal C)$ and odim$(\mathcal C)$, the smallest dimension in which $\mathcal C$ can be realized by convex closed or open sets, respectively. Cruz,…
In this thesis we present several results in coding theory, concerning error-correcting codes and the Shannon capacity. 1. We give a general symmetry reduction of matrices occuring in semidefinite programs in coding theory. 2. We apply the…
Universal Composability (UC) is the gold standard for cryptographic security, but mechanizing proofs of UC is notoriously difficult. A recently-discovered connection between UC and Robust Compilation (RC)$\unicode{x2014}$a novel theory of…
The $k$-means problem is a classic objective for modeling clustering in a metric space. Given a set of points in a metric space, the goal is to find $k$ representative points so as to minimize the sum of the squared distances from each…
The paper concerns the optimal upper bounds on the expectations of the kth record values (k >= 1) centered about the sample mean. We consider the case, when the records are based on the infinite sequence of the independent identically…
A covering code is a set of codewords with the property that the union of balls, suitably defined, around these codewords covers an entire space. Generally, the goal is to find the covering code with the minimum size codebook. While most…
Compressed Counting (CC) was recently proposed for very efficiently computing the (approximate) $\alpha$th frequency moments of data streams, where $0<\alpha <= 2$. Several estimators were reported including the geometric mean estimator,…

Evolving secret sharing schemes do not require prior knowledge of the number of parties $n$ and $n$ may be infinitely countable. It is known that the evolving $2$-threshold secret sharing scheme and prefix coding of integers have a…
This paper sheds light on universal coding with respect to classes of memoryless sources over a countable alphabet defined by an envelope function with finite and non-decreasing hazard rate. We prove that the auto-censuring AC code…
Recent work by Divsalar et al. has shown that properly designed protograph-based low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes typically have minimum (Hamming) distance linearly increasing with block length. This fact rests on ensemble arguments…
Quantum dense coding plays an important role in quantum cryptography communication, and how to select a set of appropriate unitary operators to encode message is the primary work in the design of quantum communication protocols. Shukla et…

A $C^*$-algebra satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT) of Rosenberg and Schochet if it is equivalent in Kasparov's $KK$-theory to a commutative $C^*$-algebra. This paper is motivated by the problem of establishing the range of…
