In \cite{shi2022few-weight}, Shi and Li studied $\mathcal{C}_D$-codes over the ring $\mathcal{R}:=\mathbb{F}_2[x,y]/\langle x^2, y^2, xy-yx\rangle$ and their binary Gray images, where $D$ is derived using certain simplicial complexes. We…

Denote by $f_D(n)$ the maximum size of a set family $\mathcal{F}$ on $[n] \stackrel{\mbox{\normalfont\tiny def}}{=} \{1, \dots, n\}$ with distance set $D$. That is, $|A \bigtriangleup B| \in D$ holds for every pair of distinct sets $A, B…

Locally repairable codes have been investigated extensively in recent years due to practical applications in distributed and cloud storage systems. However, there are few asymptotical constructions of locally repairable codes in the…

A lower bound on the number of uncorrectable errors of weight half the minimum distance is derived for binary linear codes satisfying some condition. The condition is satisfied by some primitive BCH codes, extended primitive BCH codes,…

In this article, we construct linear codes over the commutative non-unital ring $I$ of size four. We obtain their Lee-weight distributions and study their binary Gray images. Under certain mild conditions, these classes of binary codes are…

We prove that every fan-in $2$ noncommutative arithmetic circuit computing the palindrome polynomial has size $\Omega(nd)$. In particular, when $d=n$ we obtain an $\Omega(n^2)$ lower bound. The proof builds on and refines a previous work of…

The length function $\ell_2(r,R)$ is the smallest length of a binary linear code with codimension (redundancy) $r$ and covering radius $R$. We obtain the following new upper bounds on $\ell_2(r,R)$, which yield a decrease $\Delta(r,R)$…

Let $n$ be a prime power, $r$ be a prime with $r\mid n-1$, and $\varepsilon\in (0,1/2)$. Using the theory of multiplicative character sums and superelliptic curves, we construct new codes over $\mathbb F_r$ having length $n$, relative…

Determining the maximum size $A_2(n,d)$ of a binary code of blocklength $n$ and distance $d$ remains an elusive open question even when restricted to the important class of linear codes. Recently, two linear programming hierarchies…

A locally recoverable code (LRC code) is a code over a finite alphabet such that every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number of other symbols that form a recovering set. In this paper we derive new finite-length and…

An expander code is a binary linear code whose parity-check matrix is the bi-adjacency matrix of a bipartite expander graph. We provide a new formula for the minimum distance of such codes. We also provide a new proof of the result that…

We consider locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and aim to determine the smallest possible length $n=n_q(k,d,r)$ of a linear $[n,k,d]_q$-code with locality $r$. For $k\le 7$ we exactly determine all values of $n_2(k,d,2)$ and for $k\le 6$ we…

We consider the problem of encoding a finite set of vectors into a small number of bits while approximately retaining information on the angular distances between the vectors. By deriving improved variance bounds related to binary Gaussian…

Let $(X_n)_{n\ge 0}$ be an irreducible, aperiodic, and homogeneous binary Markov chain and let $LI_n$ be the length of the longest (weakly) increasing subsequence of $(X_k)_{1\le k \le n}$. Using combinatorial constructions and weak…

We generalize the Griesmer bound in the case of systematic codes over a field of size q greater than the distance d of the code. We also generalize the Griesmer bound in the case of any systematic code of distance 2,3,4 and in the case of…

Binary cyclic codes having large dimensions and minimum distances close to the square-root bound are highly valuable in applications where high-rate transmission and robust error correction are both essential. They provide an optimal…

We study the binomial channel and the structure of its capacity-achieving input and output distributions. It is known that the capacity-achieving input distribution is discrete and supported on finitely many points. The best previously…

Finding a good bound on the maximal edge diameter $\Delta(d,n)$ of a polytope in terms of its dimension $d$ and the number of its facets $n$ is one of the basic open questions in polytope theory \cite{BG}. Although some bounds are known,…

The deletion distance between two binary words $u,v \in \{0,1\}^n$ is the smallest $k$ such that $u$ and $v$ share a common subsequence of length $n-k$. A set $C$ of binary words of length $n$ is called a $k$-deletion code if every pair of…

Reading channels where $b$-tuples of adjacent symbols are read at every step have e.g.\ applications in storage. Corresponding bounds and constructions of codes for the $b$-symbol metric, especially the pair-symbol metric where $b=2$, were…
