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…

Stopping sets play a crucial role in failure events of iterative decoders over a binary erasure channel (BEC). The $\ell$-th stopping redundancy is the minimum number of rows in the parity-check matrix of a code, which contains no stopping…

This paper considers insertion and deletion channels with the additional assumption that the channel input sequence is implicitly divided into segments such that at most one edit can occur within a segment. No segment markers are available…

The column Hamming distance of a convolutional code determines the error correction capability when streaming over a class of packet erasure channels. We introduce a metric known as the column sum rank, that parallels column Hamming…

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 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 $2t\log_q n+\Theta(\log\log n)$…

Consider a binary word being transmitted through a communication channel that introduces deletable errors where each bit of the word is either retained, flipped, erased or deleted. The simplest code for correcting \emph{all} possible…

Error-correcting codes over sets, with applications to DNA storage, are studied. The DNA-storage channel receives a set of sequences, and produces a corrupted version of the set, including sequence loss, symbol substitution, symbol…

Synthetic DNA can in principle be used for the archival storage of arbitrary data. Because errors are introduced during DNA synthesis, storage, and sequencing, an error-correcting code (ECC) is necessary for error-free recovery of the data.…

Based on the extended binary image of non-binary LDPC codes, we propose a method for generating extra redundant bits, such as to decreases the coding rate of a mother code. The proposed method allows for using the same decoder, regardless…
