The notion of non-malleable codes was introduced as a relaxation of standard error-correction and error-detection. Informally, a code is non-malleable if the message contained in a modified codeword is either the original message, or a completely unrelated value.

In the information theoretic setting, although existence of such codes for various ... more >>>

In the last decade, the notion of metric embeddings with
small distortion received wide attention in the literature, with
applications in combinatorial optimization, discrete mathematics, functional
analysis and bio-informatics. The notion of embedding is, given two metric
spaces on the same number of points, to find a bijection that minimizes
