A Lower Bound on List Size for List Decoding
A q-ary error-correcting code C ⊆ {1, 2, . . . , q}n is said to be list decodable to radius ρ with list size L if every Hamming ball of radius ρ contains at most L codewords o...

Approximate Quantum Error-Correcting Codes and Secret Sharing Schemes
It is a standard result in the theory of quantum error-correcting codes that no code of length n can fix more than n/4 arbitrary errors, regardless of the dimension of the coding ...

Max registers, counters, and monotone circuits
A method is given for constructing a max register, a linearizable, wait-free concurrent data structure that supports a write operation and a read operation that returns the larges...

The B-coder: An Improved Binary Arithmetic Coder and Probability Estimator
In this paper we present the B-coder, an efficient binary arithmetic coder that performs extremely well on a wide range of data. The B-coder should be classed as an `approximate&#...
