Title
Multiple Criss-Cross Deletion-Correcting Codes
Abstract
This paper investigates the problem of correcting multiple criss-cross deletions in arrays. More precisely, we study the unique recovery of n x n arrays affected by any combination of t(r) row and t(c) column deletions such that t(r) + t(c) = t for a given t. We refer to these type of deletions as t criss cross deletions. We show that the asymptotic redundancy of a code correcting t-criss-cross deletions is at least tn+t log n - log (t!). Then, we present an existential construction of a code capable of correcting t-criss-cross deletions where its redundancy is bounded from above by tn + O(t(2) log(2) n). The main ingredients of the presented code are systematic binary t-deletion-correcting codes and Gabidulin codes. The first ingredient helps locating the indices of the deleted rows and columns, thus transforming the deletion-correction problem into an erasure-correction problem which is then solved using the second ingredient.
