The error correction capability of binary linear codes with minimum distance decoding, in particular the number of correctable/uncorrectable errors, is investigated for general lin...
We study the local testability of linear codes. We first reformulate this question in the language of tolerant linearity testing under a non-uniform distribution. We then study th...
Abstract--Informally, an error-correcting code has "nice" listdecodability properties if every Hamming ball of "large" radius has a "small" number of ...
We first consider so-called (1,+s)-branching programs in which along every consistent path at most s variables are tested more than once. We prove that any such program computing...
The minimum distance is one of the most important combinatorial characterizations of a code. The maximum likelihood decoding problem is one of the most important algorithmic proble...
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...
We construct families of three-dimensional linear codes that attain the Griesmer bound and give a probablistic construction of linear codes that are close to the Griesmer bound. Al...
We relate the notion of matroid pathwidth to the minimum trellis state-complexity (which we term trellis-width) of a linear code, and to the pathwidth of a graph. By reducing from ...
This paper discusses a stylized communications problem where one wishes to transmit a real-valued signal x Rn (a block of n pieces of information) to a remote receiver. We ask wh...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the issue of network capacity. The recent work by Li and Yeung examined the network capacity of multicast networks and related capacity to cut...
