Consider the problem of identifying a massive number of bees, uniquely labeled with barcodes, using noisy measurements. We formally introduce this `bee-identification problem', define its error exponent, and derive efficiently computable…
A cross-bifix-free code of length $n$ over $\mathbb{Z}_q$ is defined as a non-empty subset of $\mathbb{Z}_q^n$ satisfying that the prefix set of each codeword is disjoint from the suffix set of every codeword. Cross-bifix-free codes have…
For nonnegative integers $n$ and $d$, let $A(n,d)$ be the maximum cardinality of a binary code of length $n$ and minimum distance at least $d$. We consider a slight sharpening of the semidefinite programming bound of Gijswijt, Mittelmann…
We introduce a new class of rate one-half binary codes: {\bf complementary information set codes.} A binary linear code of length $2n$ and dimension $n$ is called a complementary information set code (CIS code for short) if it has two…
A linear code with a complementary dual (or LCD code) is defined to be a linear code $C$ whose dual code $C^{\perp}$ satisfies $C \cap C^{\perp}$= $\left\{ \mathbf{0}\right\} $. Let $LCD{[}n,k{]}$ denote the maximum of possible values of…
It is shown that fully-parallel encoding and decoding schemes with asymptotic block error probability that scales as $O\left(f\left(n\right)\right)$ have Thompson energy that scales as $\Omega\left(\sqrt{\ln f\left(n\right)}n\right)$. As…
Let $A_2(n,d)$ be the maximum size of a binary code of length $n$ and minimum distance $d$. In this paper we present the following new lower bounds: $A_2(18,4) \ge 5632$, $A_2(21,4) \ge 40960$, $A_2(22,4) \ge 81920$, $A_2(23,4) \ge 163840$,…
Deterministic identification (DI) for the discrete-time Poisson channel, subject to an average and a peak power constraint, is considered. It is established that the code size scales as $2^{(n\log n)R}$, where $n$ and $R$ are the block…
The longest common extension problem is to preprocess a given string of length $n$ into a data structure that uses $S(n)$ bits on top of the input and answers in $T(n)$ time the queries $\mathit{LCE}(i,j)$ computing the length of the…
The variable-length source coding problem allowing the error probability up to some constant is considered for general sources. In this problem the optimum mean codeword length of variable-length codes has already been determined. On the…
Let M_n denote the number of sites in the largest cluster in critical site percolation on the triangular lattice inside a box side length n. We give lower and upper bounds on the probability that M_n / E(M_n) > x of the form exp(- C…
We present nonasymptotic bounds on the maximum coding rate achievable over a Rician block-fading channel for a fixed packet size and a fixed packet error probability. Our bounds, which apply to the scenario where no a priori channel state…
Batch codes are a useful notion of locality for error correcting codes, originally introduced in the context of distributed storage and cryptography. Many constructions of batch codes have been given, but few lower bound (limitation)…
Subspace codes form the appropriate mathematical setting for investigating the Koetter-Kschischang model of fault-tolerant network coding. The Main Problem of Subspace Coding asks for the determination of a subspace code of maximum size…
We derive various error exponents in the bee identification problem under two different decoding rules. Under na\"ive decoding, which decodes each bee independently of the others, we analyze a general discrete memoryless channel and a…
The study of subblock-constrained codes has recently gained attention due to their application in diverse fields. We present bounds on the size and asymptotic rate for two classes of subblock-constrained codes. The first class is binary…
It is a standard result in the theory of quantum error-correcting codes that no code of length n can fix more than n/4 arbitrary errors, regardless of the dimension of the coding and encoded Hilbert spaces. However, this bound only applies…
An identifying code of a closed-twin-free graph $G$ is a dominating set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that any two vertices in $G$ have a distinct intersection between their closed neighborhoods and $S$. It was conjectured that there exists…
Consider the identification (ID) via channels problem, where a receiver wants to decide whether the transmitted identifier is its identifier, rather than decoding the identifier. This model allows to transmit identifiers whose size scales…
A family of $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set is called 3-wise intersecting if any three members in the family have non-empty intersection. We determine the maximum size of such families exactly or asymptotically. One of our results…
