Given a random binary picture $P_n$ of size $n$, i.e., an $n\times n$ grid filled with zeros and ones uniformly at random, when is it possible to reconstruct $P_n$ from its $k$-deck, i.e., the multiset of all its $k\times k$ subgrids? We…

Motivated by applications to DNA storage, we study reconstruction and list-reconstruction schemes for integer vectors that suffer from limited-magnitude errors. We characterize the asymptotic size of the intersection of error balls in…

In the successive refinement problem, a fixed-length sequence emitted from an information source is encoded into two codewords by two encoders in order to give two reconstructions of the sequence. One of two reconstructions is obtained by…

The insertion-deletion channel takes as input a bit string ${\bf x}\in\{0,1\}^{n}$, and outputs a string where bits have been deleted and inserted independently at random. The trace reconstruction problem is to recover $\bf x$ from many…

We show that Closest Substring, one of the most important problems in the field of biological sequence analysis, is W[1]-hard when parameterized by the number k of input strings (and remains so, even over a binary alphabet). This problem is…

We introduce the following natural generalization of trace reconstruction, parameterized by a deletion probability $\delta \in (0,1)$ and length $n$: There is a length $n$ string of probabilities, $S=p_1,\ldots,p_n,$ and each "trace" is…

The palindromic fingerprint of a string $S[1\ldots n]$ is the set $PF(S) = \{(i,j)~|~ S[i\ldots j] \textit{ is a maximal }\\ \textit{palindrome substring of } S\}$. In this work, we consider the problem of string reconstruction from a…

Levenshtein first introduced the sequence reconstruction problem in $2001$. In the realm of combinatorics, the sequence reconstruction problem is equivalent to determining the value of $N(n,d,t)$, which represents the maximum size of the…

A \emph{trace} of a sequence is generated by deleting each bit of the sequence independently with a fixed probability. The well-studied \emph{trace reconstruction} problem asks how many traces are required to reconstruct an unknown binary…
