In this paper, for any fixed positive integers $t$ and $q>2$, we construct $q$-ary codes correcting a burst of at most $t$ deletions with redundancy $\log n+8\log\log n+o(\log\log n)+\gamma_{q,t}$ bits and near-linear encoding/decoding…

In this paper, we construct systematic $q$-ary two-deletion correcting codes and burst-deletion correcting codes, where $q\geq 2$ is an even integer. For two-deletion codes, our construction has redundancy $5\log n+O(\log q\log\log n)$ and…

We first give a construction of binary $t_1$-deletion-$t_2$-insertion-burst correcting codes with redundancy at most $\log(n)+(t_1-t_2-1)\log\log(n)+O(1)$, where $t_1\ge 2t_2$. Then we give an improved construction of binary codes capable…

This paper studies codes that correct bursts of deletions. Namely, a code will be called a $b$-burst-deletion-correcting code if it can correct a deletion of any $b$ consecutive bits. While the lower bound on the redundancy of such codes…

In this paper, we investigate codes designed to correct two bursts of deletions, where each burst has a length of exactly $b$, where $b>1$. The previous best construction, achieved through the syndrome compression technique, had a…

We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct deletions that are localized within a certain part of the codeword that is unknown a priori. Namely, the model that we study is when at most $k$ deletions occur in a window of…

Recently, codes for correcting a burst of errors have attracted significant attention. One of the most important reasons is that bursts of errors occur in certain emerging techniques, such as DNA storage. In this paper, we investigate a…

In this paper, we present an efficiently encodable and decodable code construction that is capable of correction a burst of deletions of length at most $k$. The redundancy of this code is $\log n + k(k+1)/2\log \log n+c_k$ for some constant…

Motivated by applications in DNA-based storage and communication systems, we study deletion and insertion errors simultaneously in a burst. In particular, we study a type of error named $t$-deletion-$s$-insertion-burst ($(t,s)$-burst for…
