Title
Optimal Codes Correcting Localized Deletions
Abstract
We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct deletions that are localized within a certain part of the codeword that is unknown a priori. Namely, the model that we study is when at most k deletions occur in a window of size k, where the positions of the deletions within this window are not necessarily consecutive. Localized deletions are thus a generalization of burst deletions that occur in consecutive positions. We present novel explicit codes that are efficiently encodable and decodable and can correct up to k localized deletions. Furthermore, these codes have log n + O(k log(2) (k log n)) redundancy, where n is the length of the information message, which is asymptotically optimal in n for k = o(log n/(log log n)(2)).
