We study cyclic binary strings with bounds on the lengths of the intervals of consecutive ones and zeros. This is motivated by scheduling problems where such binary strings can be used to represent the state (on/off) of a machine. In this…
Function-correcting codes (FCCs) protect specific function evaluations of a message against errors. This condition imposes a less stringent distance requirement than classical error-correcting codes (ECCs), allowing for reduced redundancy.…
The minimum distance of a code is an important concept in information theory. Hence, computing the minimum distance of a code with a minimum computational cost is a crucial process to many problems in this area. In this paper, we present…
Most bounds on the size of codes hold for any code, whether linear or not. Notably, the Griesmer bound holds only in the linear case and so optimal linear codes are not necessarily optimal codes. In this paper we identify code parameters…
We study circuit codes with long bit runs (sequences of distinct transitions) and derive a formula for the maximum length for an infinite class of symmetric circuit codes with long bit runs. This formula also results in an improved lower…

We propose a new capacity-achieving code for the private information retrieval (PIR) problem, and show that it has the minimum message size (being one less than the number of servers) and the minimum upload cost (being roughly linear in the…
A $k$-server Private Information Retrieval (PIR) code is a binary linear $[m,s]$-code admitting a generator matrix such that for every integer $i$ with $1\le i\le s$ there exist $k$ disjoint subsets of columns (called recovery sets) that…
Minimal codewords have applications in decoding linear codes and in cryptography. We study the maximum number of minimal codewords in binary linear codes of a given length and dimension. Improved lower and upper bounds on the maximum number…
Additive codes may have better parameters than linear codes. However, still very few cases are known and the explicit construction of such codes is a challenging problem. Here we show that a Griesmer type bound for the length of additive…

In recent years, many connections have been made between minimal codes, a classical object in coding theory, and other remarkable structures in finite geometry and combinatorics. One of the main problems related to minimal codes is to give…
Cyclic codes are an interesting class of linear codes due to their efficient encoding and decoding algorithms as well as their theoretical importance. BCH codes form a subclass of cyclic codes and are very important in both theory and…
We explain how to optimize finite-length LDPC codes for transmission over the binary erasure channel. Our approach relies on an analytic approximation of the erasure probability. This is in turn based on a finite-length scaling result to…
Let $\{\phi_p\}$ be an optimal G\"odel numbering of the family of computable functions (in Schnorr's sense), where $p$ ranges over binary strings. Assume that a list of strings $L(p)$ is computable from $p$ and for all $p$ contains a…
