This paper is focused on the performance analysis of binary linear block codes (or ensembles) whose transmission takes place over independent and memoryless parallel channels. New upper bounds on the maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding error…
The well-known DeMillo-Lipton-Schwartz-Zippel lemma says that $n$-variate polynomials of total degree at most $d$ over grids, i.e. sets of the form $A_1 \times A_2 \times \cdots \times A_n$, form error-correcting codes (of distance at least…
Specifying a computational problem requires fixing encodings for input and output: encoding graphs as adjacency matrices, characters as integers, integers as bit strings, and vice versa. For such discrete data, the actual encoding is…
The paper addresses parametric inequality systems described by polynomial functions in finite dimensions, where state-dependent infinite parameter sets are given by finitely many polynomial inequalities and equalities. Such systems can be…
Shannon's channel coding theorem characterizes the maximal rate of information that can be reliably transmitted over a communication channel when optimal encoding and decoding strategies are used. In many scenarios, however, practical…
Many proofs in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science are based on the probabilistic method. To prove the existence of a good object, we pick a random object and show that it is bad with low probability. This method is…
We consider the disjoint bilinear programming problem in which one of the disjoint subsets has the structure of an acute-angled polytope. An optimality criterion for such a problem is formulated and proved, and based on this, a polynomial…

We consider the special case of index coding over the Gaussian broadcast channel where each receiver has prior knowledge of a subset of messages at the transmitter and demands all the messages from the source. We propose a concatenated…
Triangular decomposition is one of the standard ways to represent the radical of a polynomial ideal. A general algorithm for computing such a decomposition was proposed by A. Szanto. In this paper, we give the first complete bounds for the…

The code equivalence problem is central in coding theory and cryptography. While classical invariants are effective for Hamming and rank metrics, the sum-rank metric, which unifies both, introduces new challenges. This paper introduces new…
A polynomial transform is the multiplication of an input vector $x\in\C^n$ by a matrix $\PT_{b,\alpha}\in\C^{n\times n},$ whose $(k,\ell)$-th element is defined as $p_\ell(\alpha_k)$ for polynomials $p_\ell(x)\in\C[x]$ from a list…

Computation codes in network information theory are designed for the scenarios where the decoder is not interested in recovering the information sources themselves, but only a function thereof. K\"orner and Marton showed for distributed…
