Zero-Rate Thresholds and New Capacity Bounds for List-Decoding and List-Recovery

Authors: Nicolas Resch, Chen Yuan, and Yihan Zhang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 261, 50th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2023)

Abstract
In this work we consider the list-decodability and list-recoverability of arbitrary q-ary codes, for all integer values of q ≥ 2. A code is called (p,L)_q-list-decodable if every radius pn Hamming ball contains less than L codewords; (p,𝓁,L)_q-list-recoverability is a generalization where we place radius pn Hamming balls on every point of a combinatorial rectangle with side length 𝓁 and again stipulate that there be less than L codewords. Our main contribution is to precisely calculate the maximum value of p for which there exist infinite families of positive rate (p,𝓁,L)_q-list-recoverable codes, the quantity we call the zero-rate threshold. Denoting this value by p_*, we in fact show that codes correcting a p_*+ε fraction of errors must have size O_ε(1), i.e., independent of n. Such a result is typically referred to as a "Plotkin bound." To complement this, a standard random code with expurgation construction shows that there exist positive rate codes correcting a p_*-ε fraction of errors. We also follow a classical proof template (typically attributed to Elias and Bassalygo) to derive from the zero-rate threshold other tradeoffs between rate and decoding radius for list-decoding and list-recovery. Technically, proving the Plotkin bound boils down to demonstrating the Schur convexity of a certain function defined on the q-simplex as well as the convexity of a univariate function derived from it. We remark that an earlier argument claimed similar results for q-ary list-decoding; however, we point out that this earlier proof is flawed.

How to Take the Inverse of a Type

Authors: Daniel Marshall and Dominic Orchard

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 222, 36th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2022)

Abstract
In functional programming, regular types are a subset of algebraic data types formed from products and sums with their respective units. One can view regular types as forming a commutative semiring but where the usual axioms are isomorphisms rather than equalities. In this pearl, we show that regular types in a linear setting permit a useful notion of multiplicative inverse, allowing us to "divide" one type by another. Our adventure begins with an exploration of the properties and applications of this construction, visiting various topics from the literature including program calculation, Laurent polynomials, and derivatives of data types. Examples are given throughout using Haskell’s linear types extension to demonstrate the ideas. We then step through the looking glass to discover what might be possible in richer settings; the functional language Granule offers linear functions that incorporate local side effects, which allow us to demonstrate further algebraic structure. Lastly, we discuss whether dualities in linear logic might permit the related notion of an additive inverse.

A Deep Quantitative Type System

Authors: Giulio Guerrieri, Willem B. Heijltjes, and Joseph W.N. Paulus

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 183, 29th EACSL Annual Conference on Computer Science Logic (CSL 2021)

Abstract
We investigate intersection types and resource lambda-calculus in deep-inference proof theory. We give a unified type system that is parametric in various aspects: it encompasses resource calculi, intersection-typed lambda-calculus, and simply-typed lambda-calculus; it accommodates both idempotence and non-idempotence; it characterizes strong and weak normalization; and it does so while allowing a range of algebraic laws to determine reduction behaviour, for various quantitative effects. We give a parametric resource calculus with explicit sharing, the "collection calculus", as a Curry-Howard interpretation of the type system, that embodies these computational properties.

Modules Over Monads and Their Algebras

Authors: Maciej Pirog, Nicolas Wu, and Jeremy Gibbons

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 35, 6th Conference on Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science (CALCO 2015)

Abstract
Modules over monads (or: actions of monads on endofunctors) are structures in which a monad interacts with an endofunctor, composed either on the left or on the right. Although usually not explicitly identified as such, modules appear in many contexts in programming and semantics. In this paper, we investigate the elementary theory of modules. In particular, we identify the monad freely generated by a right module as a generalisation of Moggi's resumption monad and characterise its algebras, extending previous results by Hyland, Plotkin and Power, and by Filinski and Stovring. Moreover, we discuss a connection between modules and algebraic effects: left modules have a similar feeling to Eilenberg–Moore algebras, and can be seen as handlers that are natural in the variables, while right modules can be seen as functions that run effectful computations in an appropriate context (such as an initial state for a stateful computation).
