For a linear code , the stopping redundancy of is defined as the minimum number of check nodes in a Tanner graph T for such that the size of the smallest stopping set in T is equal...
Abstract. Bounding the price of stability of undirected network design games with fair cost allocation is a challenging open problem in the Algorithmic Game Theory research agenda....
This paper derives an improved sphere-packing (ISP) bound for finite-length error-correcting codes whose transmission takes place over symmetric memoryless channels, and the codes...
We obtain improved upper bounds and new lower bounds on the chromatic number as a linear function of the clique number, for the intersection graphs (and their complements) of fini...
We prove co-N2ExpTime-hardness for conjunctive query entailment in the description logic ALCOIF , thus improving the previously known 2ExpTime lower bound. The result transfers to ...
