We report two analytical bounds for quantum error-correcting codes that do not have preexisting classical counterparts. Firstly the quantum Hamming and Singleton bounds are combined into a single tighter bound, and then the combined bound…
We consider multidimensional codes capable of correcting a burst error of weight at most $2$. When two positions are in error, the burst limits their relative position. We study three such limitations: the $L_\infty$ distance between the…
For an arbitrary (3,L) QC-LDPC code with a girth of twelve, a tight lower bound of the consecutive lengths is proposed. For an arbitrary length above the bound the resultant code necessarily has a girth of twelve, and for the length meeting…
We derive the optimum second-order coding rates, known as second-order capacities, for erasure and list decoding. For erasure decoding for discrete memoryless channels, we show that second-order capacity is $\sqrt{V}\Phi^{-1}(\epsilon_t)$…
In this paper, we study codes correcting $t$ duplications of $\ell$ consecutive symbols. These errors are known as tandem duplication errors, where a sequence of symbols is repeated and inserted directly after its original occurrence. Using…
We present simple constructions of optimal erasure-correcting LRC codes by exhibiting their parity-check matrices. When the number of local parities in a parity group plus the number of global parities is smaller than the size of the parity…
We consider the zero-error capacity of deletion channels. Specifically, we consider the setting where we choose a codebook ${\cal C}$ consisting of strings of $n$ bits, and our model of the channel corresponds to an adversary who may delete…
I develop methods for analyzing quantum error-correcting codes, and use these methods to construct an infinite class of codes saturating the quantum Hamming bound. These codes encode $k=n-j-2$ qubits in $n=2^j$ qubits and correct $t=1$…

We consider the problem of error correction in a network where the errors can occur only on a proper subset of the network edges. For a generalization of the so-called Diamond Network we consider lower and upper bounds for the network's…
Perfect error correcting codes allow for an optimal transmission of information while guaranteeing error correction. For this reason, proving their existence has been a classical problem in both pure mathematics and information theory.…
In this paper, we investigate the error correction capability of column-weight-three LDPC codes when decoded using the Gallager A algorithm. We prove that the necessary condition for a code to correct $k \geq 5$ errors is to avoid cycles of…
Symmetric fix-free codes are prefix condition codes in which each codeword is required to be a palindrome. Their study is motivated by the topic of joint source-channel coding. Although they have been considered by a few communities they…
DNA synthesis is considered as one of the most expensive components in current DNA storage systems. In this paper, focusing on a common synthesis machine, which generates multiple DNA strands in parallel following a fixed supersequence,we…
We propose two systematic constructions of deletion-correcting codes for protecting quantum information. The first one works with qudits of any dimension, but only one deletion is corrected and the constructed codes are asymptotically bad.…
Consider a $q$-ary block code satisfying the property that no $l$-letters long codeword's prefix occurs as a suffix of any codeword for $l$ inside some interval. We determine a general upper bound on the maximum size of these codes and a…
Approximation of the optimal two-part MDL code for given data, through successive monotonically length-decreasing two-part MDL codes, has the following properties: (i) computation of each step may take arbitrarily long; (ii) we may not know…
