Constant dimension codes (CDCs) have become an important object in coding theory due to their application in random network coding. The multilevel construction is one of the most effective ways to construct constant dimension codes. The…
We define and study burst-covering codes. We provide some general bounds connecting the parameters of a code with its burst-covering radius. We then provide stronger bounds on the burst-covering radius of cyclic codes, by employing…

Minimal codes are linear codes where all non-zero codewords are minimal, i.e., whose support is not properly contained in the support of another codeword. The minimum possible length of such a $k$-dimensional linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$…

We propose new constructions for a two-dimensional ($2$D) perfect array, complete complementary code (CCC), and multiple CCCs as an optimal symmetrical $Z$-complementary code set (ZCCS). We propose a method to generate a two-dimensional…

Recent studies suggest that uniform circular arrays (UCAs) can extend the angular coverage of the radiative near field region. This work investigates whether such enhanced angular coverage translates into improved spatial multiplexing…
Motivated by recent interest in permutation arrays, we introduce and investigate the more general concept of frequency permutation arrays (FPAs). An FPA of length n=m lambda and distance d is a set T of multipermutations on a multiset of m…
Every binary De~Bruijn sequence of order n satisfies a recursion 0=x_n+x_0+g(x_{n-1}, ..., x_1). Given a function f on (n-1) bits, let N(f; r) be the number of functions generating a De Bruijn sequence of order n which are obtained by…
A subset $A$ of a Boolean algebra $B$ is said to be $(n,m)$-reaped if there is a partition of unity $P \subset B$ of size $n$ such that the cardinality of $\{b \in P: b \wedge a \neq \emptyset\}$ is greater than or equal to $m$ for all…
This paper considers the construction of minimum aberration (MA) blocked factorial designs. Based on coding theory, the concept of minimum moment aberration due to Xu [Statist. Sinica 13 (2003) 691--708] for unblocked designs is extended to…
We study the recently introduced boolean-width of graphs. Our structural results are as follows. Firstly, we show that almost surely the boolean-width of a random graph on $n$ vertices is $O(\log^2 n)$, and it is easy to find the…
Covers are a kind of quasiperiodicity in strings. A string $C$ is a cover of another string $T$ if any position of $T$ is inside some occurrence of $C$ in $T$. The shortest and longest cover arrays of $T$ have the lengths of the shortest…
