We introduce irreducible correspondences that enables us to calculate the Gromov--Hausdorff distances effectively. By means of these correspondences, we show that the set of all metric spaces each consisting of no more than $3$ points is…
We show that the distance from an element of a C*-algebra to the set of regular elements is the infimum of the $\delta>0$ for which the $\delta$-cut-down of the element admits a polar decomposition within the algebra. This parallels results…
Subspace codes, and in particular cyclic subspace codes, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their applications in error correction for random network coding. In this paper, we introduce a new technique for constructing…
An efficient scheme to increase the performance of polar codes at short and moderate block lengths is a concatenation of CRC code and a polar code. In order to obtain better result of the concatenation, a CRC code with best error control…
We give an independent combinatorial proof of Nogin's Theorem concerning the minimum distance of the Grassmann codes using a special decomposition of the Grassmannians. We use the same idea to also compute the second minimum weight of the…
The min-sum approximation is widely used in the decoding of polar codes. Although it is a numerical approximation, hardly any penalties are incurred in practice. We give a theoretical justification for this. We consider the common case of a…
If an n-side unit regular polygon is divided into m equal sized parts, then what is the minimum length of the split line ${l_{m,n}}$? This problem has its practical application in real world. This paper proved that ${l_{2,3}} = \sqrt…
In this paper, we show some applications of algebraic curves to the construction of kernels of polar codes over a discrete memoryless channel which is symmetric w.r.t the field operations. We will also study the minimum distance of the…
It is shown that the smallest possible distance between two disjoint lattice polytopes contained in the cube $[0,k]^3$ is exactly $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2(2k^2-4k+5)(2k^2-2k+1)}} $$ for every integer $k$ at least $4$. The proof relies on…
In this paper we present a minimal list decoding algorithm for Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. Minimal list decoding for a code $C$ refers to list decoding with radius $L$, where $L$ is the minimum of the distances between the received word…
The Ulam distance of two permutations on $[n]$ is $n$ minus the length of their longest common subsequence. In this paper, we show that for every $\varepsilon>0$, there exists some $\alpha>0$, and an infinite set $\Gamma\subseteq…
In this paper we provide constructive lower bounds on the sizes of the largest partial ovoids of the symplectic polar spaces ${\cal W}(3, q)$, $q$ odd square, $q \not\equiv 0 \pmod{3}$, ${\cal W}(5, q)$ and of the Hermitian polar spaces…
Minimum weight codewords play a crucial role in the error correction performance of a linear block code. In this work, we establish an explicit construction for these codewords of polar codes as a sum of the generator matrix rows, which can…
