In this paper, we construct Error-Correcting Graph Codes. An error-correcting graph code of distance $\delta$ is a family $C$ of graphs on a common vertex set of size $n$, such that if we start with any graph in $C$, we would have to modify…

We consider linear codes over a field in which the error values are restricted to a subgroup of its unit group. This scenario captures Lee distance codes as well as codes over the Gaussian or Eisenstein integers. Codes correcting restricted…

In contrast to a maximum-likelihood decoder, it is often desirable to use an incomplete decoder that can detect its decoding errors with high probability. One common choice is the bounded distance decoder. Bounds are derived for the total…
