The current best known $[239, 21], \, [240, 21], \, \text{and} \, [241, 21]$ binary linear codes have minimum distance 98, 98, and 99 respectively. In this article, we introduce three binary Goppa codes with Goppa polynomials $(x^{17} +…
An additive quaternary $[n,k,d]$-code (length $n,$ quaternary dimension $k,$ minimum distance $d$) is a $2k$-dimensional F_2-vector space of $n$-tuples with entries in $Z_2\times Z_2$ (the $2$-dimensional vector space over F_2) with minimum…
We design an additive approximation scheme for estimating the cost of the min-weight bipartite matching problem: given a bipartite graph with non-negative edge costs and $\varepsilon > 0$, our algorithm estimates the cost of matching all…
Let $K, D$ be $n$-dimensional convex bodes. Define the distance between $K$ and $D$ as $$ d(K,D) = \inf \{\lambda | T K \subset D+x \subset \lambda \cdot TK \}, $$ where the infimum is taken over all $x \in R^n$ and all invertible linear…

We study the expected number of real zeros for random linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials. It is well known that Kac polynomials, spanned by monomials with i.i.d. Gaussian coefficients, have only $(2/\pi + o(1))\log{n}$ expected…
Polar codes were recently chosen to protect the control channel information in the next-generation mobile communication standard (5G) defined by the 3GPP. As a result, receivers will have to implement blind detection of polar coded frames…
