We give a polynomial time algorithm to decode multivariate polynomial codes of degree $d$ up to half their minimum distance, when the evaluation points are an arbitrary product set $S^m$, for every $d < |S|$. Previously known algorithms can…
Universal cycles are generalizations of de Bruijn cycles and Gray codes that were introduced originally by Chung, Diaconis, and Graham in 1990. They have been developed by many authors since, for various combinatorial objects such as…
Binary self-dual codes with large minimum distances, such as the extended Hamming code and the Golay code, are fascinating objects in the coding theory. They are closely related to sporadic simple groups, lattices and invariant theory. A…

A general class of polynomial remainder codes is considered. Such codes are very flexible in rate and length and include Reed-Solomon codes as a special case. As an extension of previous work, two joint error-and-erasure decoding approaches…
In this paper, we consider the so-called uniquely decodable one-to-one code (UDOOC) that is formed by inserting a "comma" indicator, termed the unique word (UW), between consecutive one-to-one codewords for separation. Along this research…
Motivated by applications of biometric identification and content identification systems, we consider the problem of random coding for channels, where each codeword undergoes lossy compression (vector quantization), and where the decoder…
A fast transition between a standard matter-like era and a late $\Lambda$CDM-like epoch generated by a single Unified Dark Matter component can explain the observed acceleration of the Universe. UDM models with a fast transition should be…
Polar codes, invented by Arikan in 2009, are known to achieve the capacity of any binary-input memoryless output-symmetric channel. One of the few drawbacks of the original polar code construction is that it is not universal. This means…
