Trace reconstruction of matrices and hypermatrices | Combinatorics, Probability and Computing
5+ hour, 52+ min ago (324+ words) A trace of a sequence is generated by deleting each bit of the sequence independently with a fixed probability. The well-studied trace reconstruction problem asks how many traces are required to reconstruct an unknown binary sequence with high probability. In…...
