Storage codes and recoverable systems on lines and grids

A storage code is an assignment of symbols to the vertices of a connected graph G ( V , E ) with the property that the value of each vertex is a function of the values of its neighbors, or more generally, of a certain neighborhood of the vertex in G . In this work we introduce a new construction method of storage codes, enabling one to construct new codes from known ones via an interleaving procedure driven by resolvable designs. We also study storage codes on Z and Z 2 (lines and grids), finding closed-form expressions for the capacity of several one and two-dimensional systems depending on their recovery set, using connections between storage codes, graphs, anticodes, and difference-avoiding sets.
