In this work, we propose constructions that correct duplications of multiple consecutive symbols. These errors are known as tandem duplications, where a sequence of symbols is repeated; respectively as palindromic duplications, where a…

Quantum synchronisation errors are a class of quantum errors that change the number of qubits in a quantum system. The classical error correction of synchronisation errors has been well-studied, including an insertion-deletion equivalence…

Phased burst errors (PBEs) are bursts of errors occurring at one or more known locations. The correction of PBEs is a classical topic in coding theory, with prominent applications such as the design of array codes for memory systems or…

We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct deletions that are localized within a certain part of the codeword that is unknown a priori. Namely, the model that we study is when at most $k$ deletions occur in a window of…

In this paper, we study how often unique decoding from $t$ insertions or $t$ deletions occurs for error correcting codes. Insertions and deletions frequently occur in synchronization problems and DNA, a medium which is beginning to be used…

We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct $\delta$ deletions occurring in an arbitrary binary string of length $n$ bits. Varshamov-Tenengolts (VT) codes, dating back to 1965, are zero-error single deletion $(\delta=1)$…

Consider two or more strings $\mathbf{x}^1,\mathbf{x}^2,\ldots,$ that are concatenated to form $\mathbf{x}=\langle \mathbf{x}^1,\mathbf{x}^2,\ldots \rangle$. Suppose that up to $\delta$ deletions occur in each of the concatenated strings.…

We construct deletion error-correcting codes in the oblivious model, where errors are adversarial but oblivious to the encoder's randomness. Oblivious errors bridge the gap between the adversarial and random error models, and are motivated…

We investigate the problem of encoding data into an $(n, t)$-break-resilient code ($(n, t)$-BRC), i.e., a collections of sequences of length~$n$ from which the original data can be reconstructed even if they are adversarially broken at up…

In this work, we investigate the problem of constructing codes capable of correcting two deletions. In particular, we construct a code that requires redundancy approximately 8 log n + O(log log n) bits of redundancy, where n is the length…
