Parity bit

A parity bit, or check bit, is a bit added to a string of binary code. Parity bits are a simple form of error detecting code. Parity bits are generally applied to the smallest units of a communication protocol, typically 8-bit octets (bytes), although they can also be applied separately to an entire message string of bits. The parity bit ensures that the total number of 1-bits in the string is even or odd. Accordingly, there are two variants of parity bits: even parity bit and odd parity bit. In the case of even parity, for a given set of bits, the bits whose value is 1 are counted. If that count is odd, the parity bit value is set to 1, making the total count of occurrences of 1s in the whole set (including the parity bit) an even number. If the count of 1s in a given set of bits is already even, the parity bit's value is 0. In the case of odd parity, the coding is reversed. For a given set of bits, if the count of bits with a value of 1 is even, the parity bit value is set to 1 making the total count of 1s in the whole set (including the parity bit) an odd number. If the count of bits with a value of 1 is odd, the count is already odd so the parity bit's value is 0. Even parity is a special case of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC), where the 1-bit CRC is generated by the polynomial x+1. In mathematics parity can refer to the evenness or oddness of an integer, which, when written in its binary form, can be determined just by examining only its least significant bit. In information technology parity refers to the evenness or oddness, given any set of binary digits, of the number of those bits with value one. Because parity is determined by the state of every one of the bits, this property of parity—being dependent upon all the bits and changing its value from even to odd parity if any one bit changes—allows for its use in error detection and correction schemes. In telecommunications the parity referred to by some protocols is for error-detection. The transmission medium is preset, at both end points, to agree on either odd parity or even parity.

3-Query RLDCs Are Strictly Stronger Than 3-Query LDCs

We construct 3-query relaxed locally decodable codes (RLDCs) with constant alphabet size and length Õ(k2) for k-bit messages. Combined with the lower bound of Ω(k3) of [Alrabiah, Guruswami, Kothari, Manohar, STOC 2023] on the length of locally decodable codes (LDCs) with the same parameters, we obtain a separation between RLDCs and LDCs, resolving an open problem of [Ben-Sasson, Goldreich, Harsha, Sudan and Vadhan, SICOMP 2006].

Complexity of Sampling and Communication

The unifying topic of this thesis is the relation of randomness to computation. We study two different facets of this: the hardness of sampling from probability distributions and the extent of usefulness of randomness in communication complexity. Hardness of Sampling. A circuit samples the distribution of its output on a uniformly random input. What distributions are samplable with small circuits? What about local circuits (NC0)? We make two contributions in this direction. The first is to show that sampli

A kq/q-2 Lower Bound for Odd Query Locally Decodable Codes from Bipartite Kikuchi Graphs

A code C:{0,1}k→{0,1}n is a q-query locally decodable code (q-LDC) if one can recover any chosen bit bi of the message b∈{0,1}k with good confidence by querying a corrupted string x~ of the codeword x=C(b) in at most q coordinates. For 2 queries, the Hadamard code is a 2-LDC of length n=2k, and this code is in fact essentially optimal [1], [2]. For q≥3, there is a large gap in our understanding: the best constructions achieve n=exp(ko(1)), while prior to the recent work of [3], the best lower bounds were n≥

Error correction code

In computing, telecommunication, information theory, and coding theory, forward error correction (FEC) or channel coding is a technique used for controlling errors in data transmission over unreliable or noisy communication channels. The central idea is that the sender encodes the message in a redundant way, most often by using an error correction code or error correcting code (ECC). The redundancy allows the receiver not only to detect errors that may occur anywhere in the message, but often to correct a limited number of errors.

Théorie des codes

En théorie de l'information, la théorie des codes traite des codes et de leurs propriétés et de leurs aptitudes à servir sur différents canaux de communication. On distingue deux modèles de communication : avec et sans bruit. Sans bruit, le codage de source suffit à la communication. Avec bruit, la communication est possible avec les codes correcteurs. En définissant l'information de façon mathématique, l'étape fondatrice de la théorie des codes a été franchie par Claude Shannon.
