It is well known that {\em superposition coding}, namely separately encoding the independent sources, is optimal for symmetric multilevel diversity coding (SMDC) (Yeung-Zhang 1999). However, the characterization of the coding rate region…

We show that the Feng-Rao bound for dual codes and a similar bound by Andersen and Geil [H.E. Andersen and O. Geil, Evaluation codes from order domain theory, Finite Fields Appl., 14 (2008), pp. 92-123] for primary codes are consequences of…
The problem of two-sender unicast index coding consists of two senders and a set of receivers. Each receiver demands a unique message and possesses some of the messages demanded by other receivers as its side-information. Every demanded…
Matroid interdiction problems are well-researched in the field of combinatorial optimization. In the matroid $\ell$-interdiction problem, an interdiction strategy removes a subset of cardinality $\ell$ from the matroid's ground set. The…
We study list-recoverability of random linear codes over small fields, both from errors and from erasures. We consider codes of rate $\epsilon$-close to capacity, and aim to bound the dependence of the output list size $L$ on $\epsilon$,…
