Cycles and Cliques in a side-information graph reduce the number of transmissions required in an index coding problem. Thapa, Ong and Johnson defined a more general form of overlapping cycles, called the interlinked-cycle (IC) structure,…
The geometry of Arithmetic Random Waves has been extensively investigated in the last fifteen years, starting from the seminal papers [RW08, ORW08]. In this paper we study the correlation structure among different functionals such as nodal…
In this paper, we propose two new systematic ways to construct amicable orthogonal designs (AOD), with an aim to facilitate the construction of power-balanced orthogonal spacetime block codes (O-STBC) with favorable practical attributes. We…
This paper deals with a universal coding problem for a certain kind of multiterminal source coding system that we call the complementary delivery coding system. In this system, messages from two correlated sources are jointly encoded, and…
The f-sum rule is introduced and its applications to electronic and vibrational modes are discussed. A related integral over the intra-band part of sigma(omega) which is also valid for correlated electrons, becomes just the kinetic energy…
Generating controllable optical vortex (OV) lattices (OVLs) with arbitrary-order topological charge (TC) and superior optical characteristics are highly desirable for various applications. Here, we report an experimental realization of…
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. The paper studies the problem of self-orthogonality and self-duality matrix-product codes (MPCs) over $R$. Some methods as well as special matrices are introduced for the construction of such…
There is a local ring $E$ of order $4,$ without identity for the multiplication, defined by generators and relations as $E=\langle a,b \mid 2a=2b=0,\, a^2=a,\, b^2=b,\,ab=a,\, ba=b\rangle.$ We study a special construction of self-orthogonal…
Variable-length splittable codes are derived from encoding sequences of ordered integer pairs, where one of the pair's components is upper bounded by some constant, and the other one is any positive integer. Each pair is encoded by the…
Two tantalizing invariants of a combinatorial code $\mathcal C\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ are cdim$(\mathcal C)$ and odim$(\mathcal C)$, the smallest dimension in which $\mathcal C$ can be realized by convex closed or open sets, respectively. Cruz,…
We introduce a novel definition of orientation on the triples of a family of pairwise intersecting planar convex sets and study its properties. In particular, we compare it to other systems of orientations on triples that satisfy a…
Product codes are widespread in optical communications, thanks to their high throughput and good error-correction performance. Systematic polar codes have been recently considered as component codes for product codes. In this paper, we…
The task of decoupling, i.e., removing unwanted interactions in a system Hamiltonian and/or couplings with an environment (decoherence), plays an important role in controlling quantum systems. There are many efficient decoupling schemes…
Out-of-Time-Order Correlators (OTOCs) serve as a proxy for quantum information scrambling, which refers to the process where information stored locally disperses across the many-body degrees of freedom in a quantum system, rendering it…
Error-correcting codes and related combinatorial constructs play an important role in several recent (and old) results in computational complexity theory. In this paper we survey results on locally-testable and locally-decodable…
Mixed (asymmetric) orthogonal arrays (MOAs) generalize classical orthogonal arrays by allowing columns over different alphabets. However, their study requires very different structural tools than those used for symmetric orthogonal arrays…
Two colourings of a graph are orthogonal if they have the property that when two vertices are coloured with the same colour in one colouring, then those vertices receive distinct colours in the other colouring. In this paper, orthogonal…
Every ordered collection of sets in Euclidean space can be associated to a combinatorial code, which records the regions cut out by the sets in space. Given two ordered collections of sets, one can form a third collection in which the…
Orthogonality is a notion based on the duality between programs and their environments used to determine when they can be safely combined. For instance, it is a powerful tool to establish termination properties in classical formal systems.…
Color (or categorical) range reporting is a variant of the orthogonal range reporting problem in which every point in the input is assigned a \emph{color}. While the answer to an orthogonal point reporting query contains all points in the…
