A covering code is a subset $mathcal{C} subseteq {0,1}^n$ with the property that any $z in {0,1}^n$ is close to some $c in mathcal{C}$ in Hamming distance. For every $epsilon,delta>0$, we show a construction of a family of codes with relative covering radius $delta + epsilon$ and rate $1 - mathrm{H}(delta) $ with block length at most $exp(O((1/epsilon) log (1/epsilon)))$ for every $epsilon > 0$. This improves upon a folklore construction which only guaranteed codes of block length $exp(1/epsilon^2)$. The main idea behind this proof is to find a distribution on codes with relatively small support such that most of these codes have good covering properties.
The list-decodable code has been an active topic in theoretical computer science since the seminal papers of M. Sudan and V. Guruswami in 1997-1998. There are general result about the Johnson radius and the list-decoding capacity theorem for random c
In the Metric Capacitated Covering (MCC) problem, given a set of balls $mathcal{B}$ in a metric space $P$ with metric $d$ and a capacity parameter $U$, the goal is to find a minimum sized subset $mathcal{B}subseteq mathcal{B}$ and an assignment of th
We study several problems on geometric packing and covering with movement. Given a family $mathcal{I}$ of $n$ intervals of $kappa$ distinct lengths, and another interval $B$, can we pack the intervals in $mathcal{I}$ inside $B$ (respectively, cover $
We present a new proof of the sphere covering inequality in the spirit of comparison geometry, and as a byproduct we find another sphere covering inequality which can be viewed as the dual of the original one. We also prove sphere covering inequaliti
The multiplicity Schwartz-Zippel lemma bounds the total multiplicity of zeroes of a multivariate polynomial on a product set. This lemma motivates the multiplicity codes of Kopparty, Saraf and Yekhanin [J. ACM, 2014], who showed how to use this lemma
