Given a set of endomorphisms on $\mathbb{P}^N$, we establish an upper bound on the number of points of bounded height in the associated monoid orbits. Moreover, we give a more refined estimate with an associated lower bound when the monoid…
Let $K_n$ denote the set of all nonsingular $n\times n$ lower triangular $(0,1)$-matrices. Hong and Loewy (2004) introduced the number sequence $$ c_n=\min\{\lambda\mid\lambda~\text{is an eigenvalue of}~XX^{\rm T},~X\in K_n\},\quad…
A lower time bound $\Omega(\min(\nu(x), n-\nu(x))$ for counting the number of ones in a binary input word $x$ of length $n$ is presented, where $\nu(x)$ is the number of ones. The operations available are increment, decrement, bit-wise…
Much work has been done attempting to understand the dynamic behaviour of the so-called "3x+1" function. It is known that finite sequences of iterations with a given length and a given number of odd terms have some combinatorial properties…
In this paper upper and lower bounds on the probability of decoding failure under maximum likelihood decoding are derived for different (nonbinary) Raptor code constructions. In particular four different constructions are considered; (i)…
In this note we analyze two algorithms, one for producing a matching and one for an independent set, on $k$-uniform $d$-regular hypergraphs of large girth. As a result we obtain new lower bounds on the size of a maximum matching or…
The question of what can be computed, and how efficiently, are at the core of computer science. Not surprisingly, in distributed systems and networking research, an equally fundamental question is what can be computed in a…
Recent developments in storage -- especially in the area of resistive random access memory (ReRAM) -- are attempting to scale the storage density by regarding the information data as two-dimensional (2D), instead of one-dimensional (1D).…
By definition, a rigid graph in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (or on a sphere) has a finite number of embeddings up to rigid motions for a given set of edge length constraints. These embeddings are related to the real solutions of an algebraic system.…
We give an upper bound on the number of perfect matchings in simple graphs with a given number of vertices and edges. We apply this result to give an upper bound on the number of 2-factors in a directed complete bipartite balanced graph on…
We consider possible reconstructions of a binary image of which the row and column sums are given. For any reconstruction we can define the length of the boundary of the image. In this paper we prove a new lower bound on the length of this…
We consider a new family of codes, termed asymmetric Lee distance codes, that arise in the design and implementation of DNA-based storage systems and systems with parallel string transmission protocols. The codewords are defined over a…
The vertices of the integer hull are the integral equivalent to the well-studied basic feasible solutions of linear programs. In this paper we give new bounds on the number of non-zero components -- their support -- of these vertices…
This paper deals with the problem of increasing the minimum distance of a linear code by adding one or more columns to the generator matrix. Several methods to compute extensions of linear codes are presented. Many codes improving the…
An information-theoretic upper bound on the generalization error of supervised learning algorithms is derived. The bound is constructed in terms of the mutual information between each individual training sample and the output of the…
The order bound for the minimum distance of algebraic geometry codes was originally defined for the duals of one-point codes and later generalized for arbitrary algebraic geometry codes. Another bound of order type for the minimum distance…
The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…
A basic problem for constant dimension codes is to determine the maximum possible size $A_q(n,d;k)$ of a set of $k$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, called codewords, such that the subspace distance satisfies…
We discuss inequalities holding between the vocabulary size, i.e., the number of distinct nonterminal symbols in a grammar-based compression for a string, and the excess length of the respective universal code, i.e., the code-based analog…
We leverage proof techniques Fourier analysis and an existing result in coding theory to derive new bounds for the problem of non-interactive simulation of binary random variables. Previous bounds in the literature were derived by applying…
