We introduce function-correcting partition codes (FCPCs), which are a natural generalization of function-correcting codes (FCCs). An FCPC is defined directly on a partition of the message space, rather than on a specific target function. We…

A new construction is proposed for low density parity check (LDPC) codes using quadratic permutation polynomials over finite integer rings. The associated graphs for the new codes have both algebraic and pseudo-random nature, and the new…

Independent parallel q-ary symmetric channels are a suitable transmission model for several applications. The proposed weighted-Hamming metric is tailored to this setting and enables optimal decoding performance. We show that some…

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…

In this thesis we present several results in coding theory, concerning error-correcting codes and the Shannon capacity. 1. We give a general symmetry reduction of matrices occuring in semidefinite programs in coding theory. 2. We apply the…

LDPC codes play a vital role in coding theory and practical error correction. A central problem in this direction is to understand their rate--distance tradeoff. In this paper, we introduce a new framework for estimating ball sizes in the…

We perform an extended numerical search for practical fermion-to-qubit encodings with error correcting properties. Ideally, encodings should strike a balance between a number of the seemingly incompatible attributes, such as having a high…

Succinct representations of a graph have been objects of central study in computer science for decades. In this paper, we study the operation called \emph{Distance Preserving Graph Contractions}, which was introduced by Bernstein et al.…

This paper studies \emph{linear} and \emph{affine} error-correcting codes for correcting synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions. We call such codes linear/affine insdel codes. Linear codes that can correct even a single…

Function-correcting codes are a class of codes designed to protect the function evaluation of a message against errors whose key advantage is the reduced redundancy. In this paper, we extend function-correcting codes from binary symmetric…

We propose to use the concept of the Hamming bound to derive the optimal criteria for learning hash codes with a deep network. In particular, when the number of binary hash codes (typically the number of image categories) and code length…

A mapping of $k$-bit strings into $n$-bit strings is called an $(\alpha,\beta)$-map if $k$-bit strings which are more than $\alpha k$ apart are mapped to $n$-bit strings that are more than $\beta n$ apart. This is a relaxation of the…

The present paper considers multipartite graphs from the perspective of design theory and coding theory. A one-factor $F$ of the complete multipartite graph $K_{n\times g}$ (with $n$ parts of size $g$) gives rise to a $(g+1)$-ary code…

The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…

The matrix representations of linear codes have been well-studied for use as disjunct matrices. However, no connection has previously been made between the properties of disjunct matrices and the parity-check codes obtained from them. This…
