In this work, we study linear error-correcting codes against adversarial insertion-deletion (indel) errors. While most constructions for the indel model are nonlinear, linear codes offer compact representations, efficient encoding, and…

One of the main problems of the research area of network coding is to compute good lower and upper bounds of the achievable cardinality of so-called subspace codes in $\operatorname{PG}(n,q)$, i.e., the set of subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$,…
This work is motivated by the problem of error correction in bit-shift channels with the so-called $ (d,k) $ input constraints (where successive $ 1 $'s are required to be separated by at least $ d $ and at most $ k $ zeros, $ 0 \leq d < k…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of designing $(n, N; \mathcal{B})$-reconstruction codes for $N\in \{14,11,9,5\}$, where $\mathcal{B}$ is the single-deletion single-substitution ball function that maps a sequence to the set of all…
Consider a $q$-ary block code satisfying the property that no $l$-letters long codeword's prefix occurs as a suffix of any codeword for $l$ inside some interval. We determine a general upper bound on the maximum size of these codes and a…

We consider the problem of designing low-redundancy codes in settings where one must correct deletions in conjunction with substitutions or adjacent transpositions; a combination of errors that is usually observed in DNA-based data storage.…
Codes that can correct up to $t$ symmetric errors and detect all unidirectional errors, known as $t$-EC-AUED codes, are studied in this paper. Given positive integers $q$, $a$ and $t$, let $n_q(a,t+1)$ denote the length of the shortest…
A binary code of blocklength $n$ and codebook size $M$ is called an $(n,M)$ code, which is studied for memoryless binary symmetric channels (BSCs) with the maximum likelihood (ML) decoding. For any $n \geq 2$, some optimal codes among the…

An erasure code is said to be a code with sequential recovery with parameters $r$ and $t$, if for any $s \leq t$ erased code symbols, there is an $s$-step recovery process in which at each step we recover exactly one erased code symbol by…
Linear erasure codes with local repairability are desirable for distributed data storage systems. An [n, k, d] code having all-symbol (r, \delta})-locality, denoted as (r, {\delta})a, is considered optimal if it also meets the minimum…
Errors are inevitable during all kinds quantum informational tasks and quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) are powerful tools to fight various quantum noises. For standard QECCs physical systems have the same number of energy levels.…
A (tandem) duplication of length $ k $ is an insertion of an exact copy of a substring of length $ k $ next to its original position. This and related types of impairments are of relevance in modeling communication in the presence of…
Like classical block codes, a locally repairable code also obeys the Singleton-type bound (we call a locally repairable code {\it optimal} if it achieves the Singleton-type bound). In the breakthrough work of \cite{TB14}, several classes of…
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…
