Matrix Representations of Finite Fields

Tzu-Wei Lin, Bo-Jiun Lee, Hsin-Po Wang

Finite fields are important algebraic structures that have a wide range of applications in fields such as coding theory and cryptography. But the standard construction of finite fi…

How Many Matrices Should I Prepare To Polarize Channels Optimally Fast?

Hsin-Po Wang, Venkatesan Guruswami

Polar codes that approach capacity at a near-optimal speed, namely with scaling exponents close to , have been shown possible for -ary erasure channels (Pfister and Urbanke),…

Density Devolution for Ordering Synthetic Channels

Hsin-Po Wang, Chi-Wei Chin

Constructing a polar code is all about selecting a subset of rows from a Kronecker power of . It is known that, under successive cancellation decoder, some rows are P…

Optimal Self-Dual Inequalities to Order Polarized BECs

Ting-Chun Lin, Hsin-Po Wang

is proved for all and all . This confirms a conjecture about polar code, made by Wu and Siegel in 2019, that $W^{0…

Accelerating Polarization via Alphabet Extension

Iwan Duursma, Ryan Gabrys, Venkatesan Guruswami +2

Polarization is an unprecedented coding technique in that it not only achieves channel capacity, but also does so at a faster speed of convergence than any other coding technique.…

Sub-4.7 Scaling Exponent of Polar Codes

Hsin-Po Wang, Ting-Chun Lin, Alexander Vardy +1

Polar code visibly approaches channel capacity in practice and is thereby a constituent code of the 5G standard. Compared to low-density parity-check code, however, the performance…

Tropical Group Testing

Hsin-Po Wang, Ryan Gabrys, Alexander Vardy

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing is the gold standard for diagnosing COVID-19. PCR amplifies the virus DNA 40 times to produce measurements of viral loads that span seven or…

Parity-Checked Strassen Algorithm

Hsin-Po Wang, Iwan Duursma

To multiply astronomic matrices using parallel workers subject to straggling, we recommend interleaving checksums with some fast matrix multiplication algorithms. Nesting the parit…

Multilinear Algebra for Minimum Storage Regenerating Codes

Iwan Duursma, Hsin-Po Wang

An -MSR (minimum storage regeneration) code is a set of nodes used to store a file. For a file of total size , each node stores symbols, any nodes rec…

Multilinear Algebra for Distributed Storage

Iwan Duursma, Xiao Li, Hsin-Po Wang

An -ERRC (exact-repair regenerating code) is a collection of nodes used to store a file. For a file of total size , each node stores symbols, any …

Polar Codes' Simplicity, Random Codes' Durability

Hsin-Po Wang, Iwan Duursma

Over any discrete memoryless channel, we build codes such that: for one, their block error probabilities and code rates scale like random codes'; and for two, their encoding and de…

Log-logarithmic Time Pruned Polar Coding

Hsin-Po Wang, Iwan Duursma

A pruned variant of polar coding is proposed for binary erasure channels. For sufficiently small , we construct a series of capacity achieving codes with block lengt…

Polar-like Codes and Asymptotic Tradeoff among Block Length, Code Rate, and Error Probability

Hsin-Po Wang, Iwan Duursma

A general framework is proposed that includes polar codes over arbitrary channels with arbitrary kernels. The asymptotic tradeoff among block length , code rate , and error p…

Polar Code Moderate Deviation: Recovering the Scaling Exponent

Hsin-Po Wang, Iwan Duursma

In 2008 Arikan proposed polar coding [arXiv:0807.3917] which we summarize as follows: (a) From the root channel synthesize recursively a series of channels $W_N^{(1)},\dotsc,W_…
