We consider a bound on the bias reduction of a random number generator by processing based on binary linear codes. We introduce a new bound on the total variation distance of the processed output based on the weight distribution of the code…
This note presents some new information on how the minimum distance of the generalized toric code corresponding to a fixed set of integer lattice points S in R^2 varies with the base field. The main results show that in some cases, over…
This work applies earlier results on Quasi-Cyclic (QC) LDPC codes to the codes specified in six separate IEEE 802 standards, specifying wireless communications from 54 MHz to 60 GHz. First, we examine the weight matrices specified to upper…
A set of linearly constrained permutation matrices are proposed for constructing a class of permutation codes. Making use of linear constraints imposed on the permutation matrices, we can formulate a minimum Euclidian distance decoding…
The cover metric is suitable for describing the resilience against correlated errors in arrays, in particular crisscross errors, which makes it interesting for applications such as distributed data storage (DDS). In this work, we consider…
When a node in a distributed storage system fails, it needs to be promptly repaired to maintain system integrity. While typical erasure codes can provide a significant storage advantage over replication, they suffer from poor repair…
It is reasonable to expect the theory of quantum codes to be simplified in the case of codes of minimum distance 2; thus, it makes sense to examine such codes in the hopes that techniques that prove effective there will generalize. With…
The present paper mainly studies limits and constructions of insertion and deletion (insdel for short) codes. The paper can be divided into two parts. The first part focuses on various bounds, while the second part concentrates on…
This thesis makes several significant contributions to the theory of both Regenerating (RG) and Locally Recoverable (LR) codes. The two principal contributions are characterizing the optimal rate of an LR code designed to recover from $t$…
Let $p$ be a prime such that $p \equiv 2$ or $3$ mod $5$. Linear block codes over the non-commutative matrix ring of $2 \times 2$ matrices over the prime field $GF(p)$ endowed with the Bachoc weight are derived as isometric images of linear…
Linear codes have been an interesting subject of study for many years, as linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, a class of…
Analogs of Reed-Solomon codes are introduced within the framework of bottleneck poset metrics. These codes are proven to be maximum distance separable. Furthermore, the results are extended to the setting of Algebraic Geometry codes.
In this paper, we study the minimum distances of binary linear codes with parity check matrices formed from subset inclusion matrices $W_{t,n,k}$, representing $t$-element subsets versus $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set. We provide…
We investigate linear codes over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_4 + u\mathbb{Z}_4 + v\mathbb{Z}_4 + w\mathbb{Z}_4 + uv\mathbb{Z}_4 + uw\mathbb{Z}_4 + vw\mathbb{Z}_4 + uvw\mathbb{Z}_4$, with conditions $u^2=u$, $v^2=v$, $w^2=w$, $uv=vu$, $uw=wu$ and…
We present the theory of linear rank-metric codes from the point of view of their fundamental parameters. These are: the minimum rank distance, the rank distribution, the maximum rank, the covering radius, and the field size. The focus of…
In this paper the ensemble of codes formed by a serial concatenation of a repetition code with multiple accumulators connected through random interleavers is considered. Based on finite length weight enumerators for these codes, asymptotic…
Recently, Yaakobi et al. introduced codes for $b$-symbol read channels, where the read operation is performed as a consecutive sequence of $b>2$ symbols. In this paper, we establish a Singleton-type bound on $b$-symbol codes. Codes meeting…
In this paper, we consider the Reed-Muller (RM) codes. For the first order RM code, we prove that it is unique in the sense that any linear code with the same length, dimension and minimum distance must be the first order RM code; For the…
Motivated by the approach of random linear codes, a new distance in the vector space over a finite field is defined as the logarithm of the "surface area" of a Hamming ball with radius being the corresponding Hamming distance. It is named…
In this paper, we analyze $m$-dimensional ($m$D) convolutional codes with finite support, viewed as a natural generalization of one-dimensional (1D) convolutional codes to higher dimensions. An $m$D convolutional code with finite support…
