Abstract
We consider the problem of constructing codes capable of correcting long tandem duplication errors of variable length. We present a subquadratic-complexity algorithm that uses only one symbol of redundancy to encode q-ary length-n words into codewords, which can correct a single duplication of length at least
$K=4\cdot \lceil \log _{q} n\rceil +1$
. We enhance the error-correcting capability by introducing codes without efficient encoding, leading to an improved value of
$K= \lceil \log _{q} n\rceil +\phi (n)$
, where
$\phi (n)$
is an arbitrary function such that
$\phi (n)\to \infty $
as
$n\to \infty $
. In the class of codes correcting a single long duplication with redundancy 1, the value K in our constructions is order-optimal. Finally, k-repeat-free codes, in which every codeword contains any k-tuple at most once, are shown to correct any number of independent long duplications, each of length at least
${K} = 2{k}$
, occurring simultaneously without any mutual interference.
期刊介绍:
As a result of recent advances in MEMS/NEMS and systems biology, as well as the emergence of synthetic bacteria and lab/process-on-a-chip techniques, it is now possible to design chemical “circuits”, custom organisms, micro/nanoscale swarms of devices, and a host of other new systems. This success opens up a new frontier for interdisciplinary communications techniques using chemistry, biology, and other principles that have not been considered in the communications literature. The IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (T-MBMSC) is devoted to the principles, design, and analysis of communication systems that use physics beyond classical electromagnetism. This includes molecular, quantum, and other physical, chemical and biological techniques; as well as new communication techniques at small scales or across multiple scales (e.g., nano to micro to macro; note that strictly nanoscale systems, 1-100 nm, are outside the scope of this journal). Original research articles on one or more of the following topics are within scope: mathematical modeling, information/communication and network theoretic analysis, standardization and industrial applications, and analytical or experimental studies on communication processes or networks in biology. Contributions on related topics may also be considered for publication. Contributions from researchers outside the IEEE’s typical audience are encouraged.
