An $(n, M)$ vector code $\mathcal{C} \subseteq \mathbb{F}^n$ is a collection of $M$ codewords where $n$ elements (from the field $\mathbb{F}$) in each of the codewords are referred to as code blocks. Assuming that $\mathbb{F} \cong…
We investigate the problem of encoding data into an $(n, t)$-break-resilient code ($(n, t)$-BRC), i.e., a collections of sequences of length~$n$ from which the original data can be reconstructed even if they are adversarially broken at up…
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 $2t\log_q n+\Theta(\log\log n)$…
We present novel bounds on the capacity of the independent and identically distributed binary deletion channel. Four upper bounds are obtained by providing the transmitter and the receiver with genie-aided information on suitably-defined…
This paper is concerned with the question of reconstructing a vector in a finite-dimensional real or complex Hilbert space when only the magnitudes of the coefficients of the vector under a redundant linear map are known. We present new…
We introduce the sum channel, a new channel model motivated by applications in distributed storage and DNA data storage. In the error-free case, it takes as input an $\ell$-row binary matrix and outputs an $(\ell+1)$-row matrix whose first…
This paper is concerned with the problem of error-free communication over the i.i.d. duplication channel which acts on a transmitted sequence $ x_1 \cdots x_n $ by inserting a random number of copies of each symbol $ x_i $ next to the…
This paper introduces a new approach to proving that a sequence of deterministic linear codes achieves capacity on an erasure channel under maximum a posteriori decoding. Rather than relying on the precise structure of the codes, this…
In shotgun sequencing, the input string (typically, a long DNA sequence composed of nucleotide bases) is sequenced as multiple overlapping fragments of much shorter lengths (called \textit{reads}). Modelling the shotgun sequencing pipeline…
An insdel refers to a deletion or an insertion, and an edit refers to an insdel or a substitution. In this paper, we consider the segmented single-insdel (resp. single-edit) channel, where the channel's input bit stream is partitioned into…
We consider codes over the alphabet Q={0,1,..,q-1}intended for the control of unidirectional errors of level l. That is, the transmission channel is such that the received word cannot contain both a component larger than the transmitted one…
The edit distance (a.k.a. the Levenshtein distance) between two strings is defined as the minimum number of insertions, deletions or substitutions of symbols needed to transform one string into another. The problem of computing the edit…
Permutation codes in the Ulam metric, which can correct multiple deletions, have been investigated extensively recently. In this work, we are interested in the maximum size of permutation codes in the Ulam metric and aim to design…
This paper studies on the cardinality of perfect multi deletion binary codes. The lower bound for any perfect deletion code with the fixed code length and the number of deletions, and the asymptotic achievable of Levenshtein's upper bound…
This paper studies reconstruction of strings based upon their substrings spectrum. Under this paradigm, it is assumed that all substrings of some fixed length are received and the goal is to reconstruct the string. While many existing works…
Study of methods of resolved top quarks kinematic reconstruction in the $t\bar{t} \rightarrow \ell+$jets channel is presented at the particle level as well as the fast-simulation detector level. Previous and current pseudo-top quark…
Two of the most common models for channels with synchronisation errors are the Binary Deletion Channel with parameter $p$ ($\text{BDC}_p$) -- a channel where every bit of the codeword is deleted i.i.d with probability $p$, and the Poisson…
Consider communication over the binary erasure channel BEC using random low-density parity-check codes with finite-blocklength n from `standard' ensembles. We show that large error events is conveniently described within a scaling theory,…
Multishot network coding is considered in a worst-case adversarial setting in which an omniscient adversary with unbounded computational resources may inject erroneous packets in up to $t$ links, erase up to $\rho$ packets, and wire-tap up…
Coding for distributed storage gives rise to a new set of problems in coding theory related to the need of reducing inter-node communication in the system. A large number of recent papers addressed the problem of optimizing the total amount…
