Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are error correcting codes used in distributed data storage. Besides a global level, they enable errors to be corrected locally, reducing the need for communication between storage nodes. There is a close…

The homogeneous metric can be viewed as a natural extension of the Hamming metric to finite chain rings. It distinguishes between three types of elements: zero, non-zero elements in the socle, and elements outside the socle. Since the…

In this paper we investigate known Singleton-like bounds in the Lee metric and characterize optimal codes, which turn out to be very few. We then focus on Plotkin-like bounds in the Lee metric and present a new bound that extends and…

Function-correcting codes (FCCs) are designed to provide error protection for the value of a function computed on the data. Existing work typically focuses solely on protecting the function value and not the underlying data. In this work,…

Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are error correcting codes used in distributed data storage. A traditional approach is to look for codes which simultaneously maximize error tolerance and minimize storage space consumption. However, this…

We consider distance functions on a quotient module $M/K$ induced by distance functions on a module $M$. We define error-correction for codes in $M/K$ with respect to induced distance functions. For the case that the metric is induced by a…

Self-orthogonal codes are of interest as they have important applications in quantum codes, lattices and many areas. In this paper, based on the weakly regular plateaued functions or plateaued Boolean functions, we construct a family of…

Function-correcting codes with data protection simultaneously protect both the data and a function of the data at distinct error-correction levels. When the function receives strictly stronger protection than the data, such a code is called…

We present a systematic study on a class of nonlocal integral functionals for functions defined on a bounded domain and the naturally induced function spaces. The function spaces are equipped with a seminorm depending on finite differences…

A linear error correcting code is a subspace of a finite-dimensional space over a finite field with a fixed coordinate system. Such a code is said to be locally recoverable with locality $r$ if, for every coordinate, its value at a codeword…
