— Protograph-based LDPC codes have the advantages of a simple design (or search) procedure and highly structured encoders and decoders. These advantages have also been exploited ...

In this paper asymptotic methods are used to form lower bounds on the free distance to constraint length ratio of several ensembles of regular, asymptotically good, protographbased...

The construction of good, finite-length, LDPC codes is currently an attractive research area. Reducing attention to the Binary Erasure Channel (BEC), this problem translates into t...

We derive upper bounds on the rate of low density parity check (LDPC) codes for which reliable communication is achievable. We first generalize Gallager's bound to a general ...

Background: The identification of a consensus RNA motif often consists in finding a conserved secondary structure with minimum free energy in an ensemble of aligned sequences. How...
