In this paper, we study the signature codes for weighted binary adder channel (WbAC) and collusion-resistant multimedia fingerprinting. Let $A(n,t)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a $t$-signature code of length $n$, and $A(n,w,t)$ denote…
This work applies earlier results on Quasi-Cyclic (QC) LDPC codes to the codes specified in six separate IEEE 802 standards, specifying wireless communications from 54 MHz to 60 GHz. First, we examine the weight matrices specified to upper…
We study classical and quantum LDPC codes of constant rate obtained by the lifted product construction over non-abelian groups. We show that the obtained families of quantum LDPC codes are asymptotically good, which proves the qLDPC…
We consider the notion of information distance between two objects $x$ and $y$ introduced by Bennett, G\'acs, Li, Vit\'anyi, and Zurek in 1998 as the minimal length of a program that computes $x$ from $y$ as well as computing $y$ from $x$.…
We propose a unified theory of generalized weights for linear codes endowed with an arbitrary distance. Instead of relying on supports or anticodes, the weights of a code are defined via the intersections of the code with a chosen family of…
We study relationships between worst-case and random-noise properties of error correcting codes. More concretely, we consider connections between minimum distance, list decoding radius, and block error probability on noisy channels. A…
The Gilbert-Varshamov bound states that the maximum size A_2(n,d) of a binary code of length n and minimum distance d satisfies A_2(n,d) >= 2^n/V(n,d-1) where V(n,d) stands for the volume of a Hamming ball of radius d. Recently Jiang and…
We investigate the maximum cardinality and the mathematical structure of error-correcting codes endowed with the Kendall-$\tau$ metric. We establish an averaging bound for the cardinality of a code with prescribed minimum distance, discuss…
Determining the largest size, or equivalently finding the lowest redundancy, of q-ary codes for given length and minimum distance is one of the central and fundamental problems in coding theory. Inspired by the construction of…
Independent parallel q-ary symmetric channels are a suitable transmission model for several applications. The proposed weighted-Hamming metric is tailored to this setting and enables optimal decoding performance. We show that some…
Over a finite field $\F_q$ the $(n,d,q)$-Reed-Muller code is the code given by evaluations of $n$-variate polynomials of total degree at most $d$ on all points (of $\F_q^n$). The task of testing if a function $f:\F_q^n \to \F_q$ is close to…
Suppose that $\xi^{(n)}_1,\xi^{(n)}_2,...,\xi^{(n)}_n$ are i.i.d with $P(\xi^{(n)}_i=1)=p_n=1-P(\xi^{(n)}_i=0)$. Let $U^{(n)}$ and $W^{(n)}$ be the longest length of arithmetic progressions and of arithmetic progressions mod $n$ relative to…

Let $C_{n-1}(n,q)$ be the code arising from the incidence of points and hyperplanes in the Desarguesian projective space PG($n,q$). Recently, Polverino and Zullo proved that within this code, all non-zero code words of weight at most…
The weight of a coset of a code is the smallest Hamming weight of any vector in the coset. For a linear code of length $n$, we call integral weight spectrum the overall numbers of weight $w$ vectors, $0\le w\le n$, in all the cosets of a…
