The evaluation of the minimum distance of linear block codes remains an open problem in coding theory, and it is not easy to determine its true value by classical methods, for this reason the problem has been solved in the literature with heuristic techniques such as genetic algorithms and local search algorithms. In this paper we propose two approaches to attack the hardness of this problem. The first approach is based on genetic algorithms and it yield to good results comparing to another work based also on genetic algorithms. The second approach is based on a new randomized algorithm which we call Multiple Impulse Method MIM, where the principle is to search codewords locally around the all-zero codeword perturbed by a minimum level of noise, anticipating that the resultant nearest nonzero codewords will most likely contain the minimum Hamming-weight codeword whose Hamming weight is equal to the minimum distance of the linear code.

  1. Deep ReLU networks -- injectivity capacity upper bounds

    stat.ML 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    For deep ReLU networks with random Gaussian weights, the paper gives upper bounds on the layer expansion needed for injectivity and finds the expansion need saturates by four layers.

  2. Rare dense solutions clusters in asymmetric binary perceptrons -- local entropy via fully lifted RDT

    stat.ML 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For the asymmetric binary perceptron, the worst-case local entropy breaks down for constraint density alpha in (0.77, 0.78), matching replica predictions and the range where fast algorithms stop working.

  3. Fully lifted \emph{blirp} interpolation -- a large deviation view

    math.PR 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A large-deviation upgrade of fully lifted blirp interpolation is derived, yielding explicit derivative identities that the author links to local entropy and computational gaps in perceptron models.

  4. A large deviation view of \emph{stationarized} fully lifted blirp interpolation

    math.PR 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper derives new derivative identities for a stationarized fully lifted bilinearly indexed random process interpolator and states an equality between large deviation limits at the opposite ends of an interpolation path.
