Synthetic DNA can in principle be used for the archival storage of arbitrary data. Because errors are introduced during DNA synthesis, storage, and sequencing, an error-correcting code (ECC) is necessary for error-free recovery of the data.…

We investigate the fundamental task of addition under uncertainty, namely, addends that are represented as intervals of numbers rather than single values. One potential source of such uncertainty can occur when obtaining discrete-valued…

Minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes, with the MDS property and the optimal repair bandwidth, are widely used in distributed storage systems (DSS) for data recovery. In this paper, we consider the construction of $(n,k,l)$ MSR codes in…

Reed-Muller codes encode an $m$-variate polynomial of degree $r$ by evaluating it on all points in $\{0,1\}^m$. We denote this code by $RM(m,r)$. The minimal distance of $RM(m,r)$ is $2^{m-r}$ and so it cannot correct more than half that…
