Many proofs in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science are based on the probabilistic method. To prove the existence of a good object, we pick a random object and show that it is bad with low probability. This method is…
Integer division instruction is generally expensive in most architectures. If the divisor is constant, the division can be transformed into combinations of several inexpensive integer instructions. This article discusses the classic…
Generalized product codes (GPCs) are extensions of product codes (PCs) where coded bits are protected by two component codes but not necessarily arranged in a rectangular array. It has recently been shown that there exists a large class of…
We introduce new definitions of universal and superuniversal computable codes, which are based on a code's ability to approximate Kolmogorov complexity within the prescribed margin for all individual sequences from a given set. Such sets of…
We introduce the concept of generalized concatenated quantum codes. This generalized concatenation method provides a systematical way for constructing good quantum codes, both stabilizer codes and nonadditive codes. Using this method, we…

A new class of structured codes called Quasi Group Codes (QGC) is introduced. A QGC is a subset of a group code. In contrast with group codes, QGCs are not closed under group addition. The parameters of the QGC can be chosen such that the…
Unequal Error-Protecting (UEP) codes are error-correcting (EC) codes designed to protect some parts of the encoded data better than other parts. Here, we introduce a similar generalization of PIR codes that we call Unequal-Data-Demand (UDD)…
Generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes, where single parity-check (SPC) constraint nodes are replaced with generalized constraint (GC) nodes, are a promising class of codes for low latency communication. In this paper, a…
In this paper, we analyze the coding delay and the average coding delay of random linear network codes (a.k.a. dense codes) and chunked codes (CC), which are an attractive alternative to dense codes due to their lower complexity, over line…
In a recent paper [1] an improved analysis concerning the analysis of List Decoding was presented. The event that the correct codeword is excluded from the list is central. For the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel an important…
In this paper, we provide a performance analysis of a new class of serial concatenated convolutional codes (SCCC) where the inner encoder can be punctured beyond the unitary rate. The puncturing of the inner encoder is not limited to inner…
Insertion-deletion codes (insdel codes for short) are used for correcting synchronization errors in communications, and in other many interesting fields such as DNA storage, date analysis, race-track memory error correction and language…
We propose a new method to approximate the posterior distribution of probabilistic programs by means of computing guaranteed bounds. The starting point of our work is an interval-based trace semantics for a recursive, higher-order…
Motivated by applications of biometric identification and content identification systems, we consider the problem of random coding for channels, where each codeword undergoes lossy compression (vector quantization), and where the decoder…
A pattern of a sequence is a sequence of integer indices with each index describing the order of first occurrence of the respective symbol in the original sequence. In a recent paper, tight general bounds on the block entropy of patterns of…
