One of the oldest problems in coding theory is to match the Gilbert-Varshamov bound with explicit binary codes. Over larger-yet still constant-sized-fields, algebraic-geometry codes are known to beat the GV bound. In this work, we leverage…
In this paper, we study the redundancy of linear codes with graph constraints. First we consider linear parity check codes based on bipartite graphs with diversity and with generalized graph constraints. We describe sufficient conditions on…
We derive bounds on the asymptotic density of parity-check matrices and the achievable rates of binary linear block codes transmitted over memoryless binary-input output-symmetric (MBIOS) channels. The lower bounds on the density of…
We construct asymptotically good nested Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) code pairs from Hsu-Anastasopoulos codes and MacKay-Neal codes. In the fixed-degree regime, we prove that the coding rate stays bounded away from zero and that the…
The Gilbert-Varshamov bound (non-constructively) establishes the existence of binary codes of distance $1/2 -\epsilon$ and rate $\Omega(\epsilon^2)$ (where an upper bound of $O(\epsilon^2\log(1/\epsilon))$ is known). Ta-Shma [STOC 2017]…
Given positive integers $n$ and $d$, let $M(n,d)$ denote the maximum size of a permutation code of length $n$ and minimum Hamming distance $d$. The Gilbert-Varshamov bound asserts that $M(n,d) \geq n!/V(n,d-1)$ where $V(n,d)$ is the volume…
Let A(q,n,d) denote the maximum size of a q-ary code of length n and distance d. We study the minimum asymptotic redundancy \rho(q,n,d)=n-log_q A(q,n,d) as n grows while q and d are fixed. For any d and q<=d-1, long algebraic codes are…
Additive codes may have better parameters than linear codes. However, still very few cases are known and the explicit construction of such codes is a challenging problem. Here we show that a Griesmer type bound for the length of additive…
We initiate the study of what we term ``fast good codes'' with ``fast good duals.'' Specifically, we consider the task of constructing a rate 1/2 binary linear code such that both it and its dual are asymptotically good (in fact, have…
This paper studies the cardinality of codes correcting insertions and deletions. We give improved upper and lower bounds on code size. Our upper bound is obtained by utilizing the asymmetric property of list decoding for insertions and…
The paper introduces new bounds on the asymptotic density of parity-check matrices and the achievable rates under ML decoding of binary linear block codes transmitted over memoryless binary-input output-symmetric channels. The lower bounds…
We introduce a random coding technique for transmission over discrete memoryless channels, reminiscent of the basic construction attaining the Gilbert-Varshamov bound for codes in Hamming spaces. The code construction is based on drawing…
We prove that there exist non-linear binary cyclic codes that attain the Gilbert-Varshamov bound.
Analytic combinatorics in several variables refers to a suite of tools that provide sharp asymptotic estimates for certain combinatorial quantities. In this paper, we apply these tools to determine the Gilbert-Varshamov (GV) bound for the…
We revisit the linear programming bounds for the size vs. distance trade-off for binary codes, focusing on the bounds for the almost-balanced case, when all pairwise distances are between $d$ and $n-d$, where $d$ is the code distance and…
The minimum distance of expander codes over GF(q) is studied. A new upper bound on the minimum distance of expander codes is derived. The bound is shown to lie under the Varshamov-Gilbert (VG) bound while q >= 32. Lower bounds on the…
Given positive integers $n$ and $d$, let $A_2(n,d)$ denote the maximum size of a binary code of length $n$ and minimum distance $d$. The well-known Gilbert-Varshamov bound asserts that $A_2(n,d) \geq 2^n/V(n,d-1)$, where $V(n,d) =…
In this note we report two versions of Gilbert-Varshamov type existential bounds for asymmetric quantum error-correcting codes.
We construct Gray codes over permutations for the rank-modulation scheme, which are also capable of correcting errors under the infinity-metric. These errors model limited-magnitude or spike errors, for which only single-error-detecting…
Codes on hypergraphs are an extension of the well-studied family of codes on bipartite graphs. Bilu and Hoory (2004) constructed an explicit family of codes on regular t-partite hypergraphs whose minimum distance improves earlier estimates…
