Transmit a codeword $x$, that belongs to an $(\ell-1)$-deletion-correcting code of length $n$, over a $t$-deletion channel for some $1\le \ell\le t<n$. Levenshtein, in 2001, proposed the problem of determining $N(n,\ell,t)+1$, the minimum…

The deletion channel takes as input a bit string $\mathbf{x} \in \{0,1\}^n$, and deletes each bit independently with probability $q$, yielding a shorter string. The trace reconstruction problem is to recover an unknown string $\mathbf{x}$…
