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…

Recent work by Smagloy et al. (ISIT 2020) shows that the redundancy of a single-deletion $s$-substitution correcting code is asymptotically at least $(s+1)\log n+o(\log n)$, where $n$ is the length of the codes. They also provide a…

We study deletion-correcting codes for an adversarial nanopore channel in which at most $t$ deletions may occur. We propose an explicit construction of $q$-ary codes of length $n$ for this channel with $2t\log_q n+\Theta(\log\log n)$…

This paper constructs a non-binary code correcting a single $b$-burst of insertions or deletions with a large cardinality. This paper also proposes a decoding algorithm of this code and evaluates a lower bound of the cardinality of this…

This paper addresses fundamental challenges in two-dimensional error correction by constructing optimal codes for \emph{criss-cross deletions}. We consider an $ n \times n $ array $\boldsymbol{X}$ over a $ q $-ary alphabet $\Sigma_q := \{0,…

One peculiarity with deletion-correcting codes is that perfect $t$-deletion-correcting codes of the same length over the same alphabet can have different numbers of codewords, because the balls of radius $t$ with respect to the…

In this paper, we present an explicit construction of list-decodable codes for single-deletion and single-substitution with list size two and redundancy 3log n+4, where n is the block length of the code. Our construction has lower…

We give an explicit construction of length-$n$ binary codes capable of correcting the deletion of two bits that have size $2^n/n^{4+o(1)}$. This matches up to lower order terms the existential result, based on an inefficient greedy choice…

This paper provides a new instance of quantum deletion error-correcting codes. This code can correct any single quantum deletion error, while our code is only of length 4. This paper also provides an example of an encoding quantum circuit…

We consider the problem of designing low-redundancy codes in settings where one must correct deletions in conjunction with substitutions or adjacent transpositions; a combination of errors that is usually observed in DNA-based data storage.…

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 study codes that can detect the exact number of deletions and insertions in concatenated binary strings. We construct optimal codes for the case of detecting up to $\del$ deletions. We prove the optimality of these codes by deriving a…

The problem of correcting deletions and insertions has recently received significantly increased attention due to the DNA-based data storage technology, which suffers from deletions and insertions with extremely high probability. In this…

One of the main challenges in developing racetrack memory systems is the limited precision in controlling the track shifts, that in turn affects the reliability of reading and writing the data. A current proposal for combating deletions in…

We consider multidimensional codes capable of correcting a burst error of weight at most $2$. When two positions are in error, the burst limits their relative position. We study three such limitations: the $L_\infty$ distance between the…
