We give two new characterizations of ($\F_2$-linear) locally testable error-correcting codes in terms of Cayley graphs over $\F_2^h$: \begin{enumerate} \item A locally testable code is equivalent to a Cayley graph over $\F_2^h$ whose set of…
We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct deletions that are localized within a certain part of the codeword that is unknown a priori. Namely, the model that we study is when at most $k$ deletions occur in a window of…
Low rank approximation is an important tool used in many applications of signal processing and machine learning. Recently, randomized sketching algorithms were proposed to effectively construct low rank approximations and obtain approximate…
Graph Balancing is the problem of orienting the edges of a weighted multigraph so as to minimize the maximum weighted in-degree. Since the introduction of the problem the best algorithm known achieves an approximation ratio of $1.75$ and it…
For any constant $d$ and parameter $\varepsilon > 0$, we show the existence of (roughly) $1/\varepsilon^d$ orderings on the unit cube $[0,1)^d$, such that any two points $p,q\in [0,1)^d$ that are close together under the Euclidean metric…
Folded Reed-Solomon codes are an explicit family of codes that achieve the optimal trade-off between rate and error-correction capability: specifically, for any $\eps > 0$, the author and Rudra (2006,08) presented an $n^{O(1/\eps)}$ time…
We develop a framework for approximation limits of polynomial-size linear programs from lower bounds on the nonnegative ranks of suitably defined matrices. This framework yields unconditional impossibility results that are applicable to any…
Recent studies have delved into the construction of locally repairable codes (LRCs) with optimal minimum distance from function fields. In this paper, we present several novel constructions by extending the findings of optimally designed…
We study the locally recoverable codes on algebraic curves. In the first part of this article, we provide a bound of generalized Hamming weight of these codes. Whereas in the second part, we propose a new family of algebraic geometric LRC…
The problem of finding a local minimum of a black-box function is central for understanding local search as well as quantum adiabatic algorithms. For functions on the Boolean hypercube {0,1}^n, we show a lower bound of Omega(2^{n/4}/n) on…
For binary $[n,k,d]$ linear locally repairable codes (LRCs), two new upper bounds on $k$ are derived. The first one applies to LRCs with disjoint local repair groups, for general values of $n,d$ and locality $r$, containing some previously…
Quantum error correction and symmetry arise in many areas of physics, including many-body systems, metrology in the presence of noise, fault-tolerant computation, and holographic quantum gravity. Here we study the compatibility of these two…
A locally recoverable code is an error-correcting code such that any erasure in a single coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from a small subset of other coordinates. In this article we develop an algorithm that computes a recovery…
Fix an ordinary abelian variety defined over a finite field. The ideal class group of its endomorphism ring acts freely on the set of isogenous varieties with same endomorphism ring, by complex multiplication. Any subgroup of the class…
The locally repairable code (LRC) studied in this paper is an $[n,k]$ linear code of which the value at each coordinate can be recovered by a linear combination of at most $r$ other coordinates. The central problem in this work is to…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are considered with equal or unequal localities, local distances and local field sizes. An explicit two-layer architecture with a sum-rank outer code is obtained, having disjoint local groups and achieving…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) were originally introduced to enable efficient recovery from erasures in distributed storage systems by accessing only a small number of other symbols. While their structural properties-such as bounds and…
Ben-Sasson, Goldreich and Sudan showed that a binary error correcting code admitting a $2$-query tester cannot be good, i.e., it cannot have both linear distance and positive rate. The same holds when the alphabet is a finite field…
This paper was devoted to study the quantitative homogenization problems for nonlinear elliptic operators in perforated domains. We obtained a sharp error estimate $O(\varepsilon)$ when the problem was anchored in the reference domain…
In this paper, we give a quadratic Goldreich-Levin algorithm that is close to optimal in the following ways. Given a bounded function $f$ on the Boolean hypercube $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ and any $\varepsilon>0$, the algorithm returns a quadratic…
