We consider the problem of constructing deletion correcting codes over a binary alphabet and take a graph theoretic view. An $n$-bit $s$-deletion correcting code is an independent set in a particular graph. We propose constructing such a…
A major issue of locally repairable codes is their robustness. If a local repair group is not able to perform the repair process, this will result in increasing the repair cost. Therefore, it is critical for a locally repairable code to…
In the paper, the Levenshtein's sequence reconstruction problem is considered in the case where at most $t$ substitution errors occur in each of the $N$ channels and the decoder outputs a list of length $\mathcal{L}$. Moreover, it is…
This paper presents and analyzes a novel concatenated coding scheme for enabling error resilience in two distributed storage settings: one being storage using existing regenerating codes and the second being storage using locally repairable…
In this paper, we study binary constrained codes that are resilient to bit-flip errors and erasures. In our first approach, we compute the sizes of constrained subcodes of linear codes. Since there exist well-known linear codes that achieve…
Assume that a graph $G$ models a detection system for a facility with a possible "intruder," or a multiprocessor network with a possible malfunctioning processor. We consider the problem of placing (the minimum number of) detectors at a…
In the practical network communications, many internal nodes in the network are required to not only transmit messages but decode source messages. For different applications, four important classes of linear network codes in network coding…
We introduce a purely graph-theoretical object, namely the coding clique, to construct quantum errorcorrecting codes. Almost all quantum codes constructed so far are stabilizer (additive) codes and the construction of nonadditive codes,…
We present a constraint-coding scheme to correct asymmetric magnitude-$1$ errors in multi-level non-volatile memories. For large numbers of such errors, the scheme is shown to deliver better correction capability compared to known…
By a locally recoverable code (LRC), we will in this paper, mean a linear code in which a given code symbol can be recovered by taking a linear combination of at most $r$ other code symbols with $r << k$. A natural extension is to the local…
Reed--Solomon error-correcting codes are ubiquitous across computer science and information theory, with applications in cryptography, computational complexity, communication and storage systems, and more. Most works on efficient error…
The relation between the girth and the guaranteed error correction capability of $\gamma$-left regular LDPC codes when decoded using the bit flipping (serial and parallel) algorithms is investigated. A lower bound on the size of variable…
A covering code is a set of codewords with the property that the union of balls, suitably defined, around these codewords covers an entire space. Generally, the goal is to find the covering code with the minimum size codebook. While most…
We consider network coding for networks experiencing worst-case bit-flip errors, and argue that this is a reasonable model for highly dynamic wireless network transmissions. We demonstrate that in this setup prior network error-correcting…
We examine an error-correcting coding framework in which each coded symbol is constrained to be a function of a fixed subset of the message symbols. With an eye toward distributed storage applications, we seek to design systematic codes…
We study zero-error unicast index-coding instances, where each receiver must perfectly decode its requested message set, and the message sets requested by any two receivers do not overlap. We show that for all these instances with up to…
In this paper we consider a Metzner-Kapturowski-like decoding algorithm for high-order interleaved sum-rank-metric codes, offering a novel perspective on the decoding process through the concept of an error code. The error code, defined as…
Let $\mathbb{Z}_4$ denote the ring of integers modulo $4$. The Galois ring GR$(4,m)$, which consists of $4^m$ elements, represents the Galois extension of degree $m$ over $\mathbb{Z}_4$. The constructions of codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$ have…
Information set decoding (ISD) algorithms are the best known procedures to solve the decoding problem for general linear codes. These algorithms are hence used for codes without a visible structure, or for which efficient decoders…
Best and Brouwer [Discrete Math. 17 (1977), 235-245] proved that triply-shortened and doubly-shortened binary Hamming codes (which have length $2^m-4$ and $2^m-3$, respectively) are optimal. Properties of such codes are here studied,…
