Linear codes have long been central to the development of error‐correcting methods in communication and data storage, while matroid theory provides a unifying combinatorial framework for understanding ...

Suppose you are trying to transmit a message. Convert each character into bits, and each bit into a signal. Then send it, over copper or fiber or air. Try as you might to be as careful as possible, ...

Information theory underpins modern digital communication by quantifying information and delineating the limits of data transmission. Among its most celebrated implementations are Low-Density ...

As summer winds down, many of us in continental Europe are heading back north. The long return journeys from the beaches of southern France, Spain, and Italy once again clog alpine tunnels and ...
