The basic goal of survivable network design is to construct low-cost networks which preserve a sufficient level of connectivity despite the failure or removal of a few nodes or edges. One of the most basic problems in this area is the…
It is generally known that in order to solve the split equality fixed-point problem (SEFPP), it is necessary to compute the norm of bounded and linear operators, which is a challenging task in real life, to address this issue, we studied…
Let H be a graph, and let C_H(G) be the number of (subgraph isomorphic) copies of H contained in a graph G. We investigate the fundamental problem of estimating C_H(G). Previous results cover only a few specific instances of this general…
Imagine that unlabelled tokens are placed on the edges of a graph, such that no two tokens are placed on incident edges. A token can jump to another edge if the edges having tokens remain independent. We study the problem of determining the…

Given a connected undirected graph $\bar{G}$ on $n$ vertices, and non-negative edge costs $c$, the 2ECM problem is that of finding a $2$-edge~connected spanning multisubgraph of $\bar{G}$ of minimum cost. The natural linear program (LP) for…

Modern FFT/NTT analytics, coded computation, and privacy-preserving ML interface routinely move polynomial frames across NICs, storage, and accelerators. However, even rare silent data corruption (SDC) can flip a few ring coefficients and…
In this paper, we present a construction of a `matching sparsifier', that is, a sparse subgraph of the given graph that preserves large matchings approximately and is robust to modifications of the graph. We use this matching sparsifier to…
Quantum error correction (QEC) is an essential step towards realising scalable quantum computers. Theoretically, it is possible to achieve arbitrarily long protection of quantum information from corruption due to decoherence or imperfect…
We study the monomer--dimer partition function on the configuration model of random $d$-regular, $l$-uniform hypergraphs. For fixed $d,l\ge2$, we prove quenched free-energy limits in explicit parameter regimes. The proof combines…
The subject of this paper is transmission over a general class of binary-input memoryless symmetric channels using error correcting codes based on sparse graphs, namely low-density generator-matrix and low-density parity-check codes. The…

Rate-compatible error-correcting codes (ECCs), which consist of a set of extended codes, are of practical interest in both wireless communications and data storage. In this work, we first study the lower bounds for rate-compatible ECCs,…
We describe an algorithm to find maximal exact matches (MEMs) among HiFi reads with homopolymer errors. The main novelty in our work is that we resort to run-length compression to help deal with errors. Our method receives as input a…
We introduce synchronization strings as a novel way of efficiently dealing with synchronization errors, i.e., insertions and deletions. Synchronization errors are strictly more general and much harder to deal with than commonly considered…
Reducing the threshold voltage of electronic devices increases their sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation dramatically, increasing the probability of changing the memory cells' content. Designers mitigate failures using techniques such…
We study codes with parameters of $q$-ary shortened Hamming codes, i.e., $(n=(q^m-q)/(q-1), q^{n-m}, 3)_q$. Firstly, we prove the fact mentioned in 1998 by Brouwer et al. that such codes are optimal, generalizing it to a bound for multifold…
