In this work, we consider the list-decodability and list-recoverability of codes in the zero-rate regime. Briefly, a code $\mathcal{C} \subseteq [q]^n$ is $(p,\ell,L)$-list-recoverable if for all tuples of input lists $(Y_1,\dots,Y_n)$ with…

We establish an equivalence between two important random ensembles of linear codes: random linear codes (RLCs) and random Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. Specifically, we show that these models exhibit identical behavior with respect to key…

Sum-rank Hamming codes are introduced in this work. They are essentially defined as the longest codes (thus of highest information rate) with minimum sum-rank distance at least $ 3 $ (thus one-error-correcting) for a fixed redundancy $ r $,…

We prove that every $1$-error-correcting code over a finite field can be embedded in a $1$-perfect code of some larger length. Embedding in this context means that the original code is a subcode of the resulting $1$-perfect code and can be…

A random access code (RAC) encodes an $L$-bit string into a $k$-bit message, where $L>k$, such that any requested bit can be decoded with high probability; a quantum RAC (QRAC) replaces the message with $k$ qubits. This paper provides a…

We consider codes over the alphabet Q={0,1,..,q-1}intended for the control of unidirectional errors of level l. That is, the transmission channel is such that the received word cannot contain both a component larger than the transmitted one…

A framework of monomial codes is considered, which includes linear codes generated by the evaluation of certain monomials. Polar and Reed-Muller codes are the two best-known representatives of such codes and can be considered as two extreme…

In this paper we construct new optimal hierarchical locally recoverable codes. Our construction is based on a combination of the ideas of \cite{ballentine2019codes,sasidharan2015codes} with an algebraic number theoretical approach that…

We use the lexicographic order to define a hierarchy of primal and dual bounds on the optimum of a bounded integer program. These bounds are constructed using lex maximal and minimal feasible points taken under different permutations. Their…

Locally repairable codes (LRCs) play a crucial role in mitigating data loss in large-scale distributed and cloud storage systems. This paper establishes a unified decomposition theorem for general optimal $(r,\delta)$-LRCs. Based on this,…

Constant weight codes (CWCs) and constant composition codes (CCCs) are two important classes of codes that have been studied extensively in both combinatorics and coding theory for nearly sixty years. In this paper we show that for {\it…

Motivated by the study of a variant of sunflowers, Alon and Holzman recently introduced focal-free hypergraphs. In this paper, we show that there is an interesting connection between the maximum size of focal-free hypergraphs and the…

As a crucial technique for integrated circuits (IC) test response compaction, $X$-compact employs a special kind of codes called $X$-codes for reliable compressions of the test response in the presence of unknown logic values ($X$s). From a…

This paper provides a link between matroid theory and locally repairable codes (LRCs) that are either linear or more generally almost affine. Using this link, new results on both LRCs and matroid theory are derived. The parameters…

We consider upper bounds on the error probability in channel coding. We derive an improved maximum-likelihood union bound, which takes into account events where the likelihood of the correct codeword is tied with that of some competitors.…

We present several generalizations of results for splitting authentication codes by studying the aspect of multi-fold security. As the two primary results, we prove a combinatorial lower bound on the number of encoding rules and a…

In this paper we prove new lower bounds for the maximal size of permutation codes by connecting the theory of permutation codes with the theory of linear block codes. More specifically, using the columns of a parity check matrix of an…

A $\lambda$-fold $r$-packing (multiple radius-$r$ covering) in a Hamming metric space is a code $C$ such that the radius-$r$ balls centered in $C$ cover each vertex of the space by not more (not less, respectively) than $\lambda$ times. The…

Optimal prefix codes are studied for pairs of independent, integer-valued symbols emitted by a source with a geometric probability distribution of parameter $q$, $0{<}q{<}1$. By encoding pairs of symbols, it is possible to reduce the…

Motivated by the construction of optimal locally repairable codes, we introduce the new finite geometric concept of a \emph{local arc} which is defined as a collection $\mathcal{S}$ of disjoint point sets $S_{i}$ in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ such…
