In this paper, we show that the single deletion correcting Varshamov-Tenengolts code, with minor modifications, can also correct an ordered deletion-erasure pattern where one deletion and at most one erasure occur and the deletion always…
Codes for storage systems aim to minimize the repair locality, which is the number of disks (or nodes) that participate in the repair of a single failed disk. Simultaneously, the code must sustain a high rate, operate on a small finite…
This paper considers insertion and deletion channels with the additional assumption that the channel input sequence is implicitly divided into segments such that at most one edit can occur within a segment. No segment markers are available…
Erasure correcting codes are widely used to ensure data persistence in distributed storage systems. This paper addresses the simultaneous repair of multiple failures in such codes. We go beyond existing work (i.e., regenerating codes by…
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…
The noise model of deletions poses significant challenges in coding theory, with basic questions like the capacity of the binary deletion channel still being open. In this paper, we study the harder model of worst-case deletions, with a…
In order to achieve fault tolerance, highly reliable system often require the ability to detect errors as soon as they occur and prevent the speared of erroneous information throughout the system. Thus, the need for codes capable of…
We improve Levenshtein's upper bound for the cardinality of a code of length four that is capable of correcting single deletions over an alphabet of even size. We also illustrate that the new upper bound is sharp. Furthermore we construct…
We consider the problem of constructing binary codes for correcting deletions that are localized within certain parts of the codeword that are unknown a priori. The model that we study is when $\delta \leq w$ deletions are localized in a…
Suppose that we have two parties that possess each a binary string. Suppose that the length of the first string (document) is $n$ and that the two strings (documents) have edit distance (minimal number of deletes, inserts and substitutions…
Burst errors involving simultaneous insertions, deletions, and substitutions occur in practical scenarios, including DNA data storage and document synchronization, motivating developments of channel codes that can correct such errors. In…
Levenshtein introduced the problem of constructing $k$-deletion correcting codes in 1966, proved that the optimal redundancy of those codes is $O(k\log N)$, and proposed an optimal redundancy single-deletion correcting code (using the…
Erasure codes are an efficient means of storing data across a network in comparison to data replication, as they tend to reduce the amount of data stored in the network and offer increased resilience in the presence of node failures. The…
Consider two or more strings $\mathbf{x}^1,\mathbf{x}^2,\ldots,$ that are concatenated to form $\mathbf{x}=\langle \mathbf{x}^1,\mathbf{x}^2,\ldots \rangle$. Suppose that up to $\delta$ deletions occur in each of the concatenated strings.…
We consider the problem of constructing a code capable of correcting a single long tandem duplication error of variable length. As the main contribution of this paper, we present a $q$-ary efficiently encodable code of length $n+1$ and…
We consider codes over fixed alphabets against worst-case symbol deletions. For any fixed $k \ge 2$, we construct a family of codes over alphabet of size $k$ with positive rate, which allow efficient recovery from a worst-case deletion…
In this paper, two moment balancing schemes, namely a variable index scheme and a fixed index scheme, for either single insertion/deletion error correction or multiple substitution error correction are introduced for coded sequences…
In this paper, we assume an error such that a single insertion occurs and then a single deletion occurs. Under such an error model, this paper provides a decoding algorithm for non-binary quantum codes constructed by Matsumoto and Hagiwara.
Motivated by the sequence reconstruction problem initiated by Levenshtein, reconstruction codes were introduced by Cai \emph{et al}. to combat errors when a fixed number of noisy channels are available. The central problem on this topic is…
Based on the extended binary image of non-binary LDPC codes, we propose a method for generating extra redundant bits, such as to decreases the coding rate of a mother code. The proposed method allows for using the same decoder, regardless…
