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…
The sequence reconstruction problem was proposed by Levenshtein in 2001. In this model, a sequence from a code is transmitted over several channels, and the decoder receives the distinct outputs from each channel. The main problem is to…
Mean-based reconstruction is a fundamental, natural approach to worst-case trace reconstruction over channels with synchronization errors. It is known that $\exp(O(n^{1/3}))$ traces are necessary and sufficient for mean-based worst-case…

In the trace reconstruction problem, one attempts to reconstruct a fixed but unknown string $x$ of length $n$ from a given number of traces $\tilde{x}$ drawn iid from the application of a noisy process (such as the deletion channel) to $x$.…

A subspace method is introduced to solve large-scale trace ratio problems. This approach is matrix-free, requiring only the action of the two matrices involved in the trace ratio. At each iteration, a smaller trace ratio problem is…
The sequence reconstruction problem, introduced by Levenshtein in 2001, considers a communication scenario where the sender transmits a codeword from some codebook and the receiver obtains multiple noisy reads of the codeword. Motivated by…
