The Complexity of Bit Retrieval

  • 1. Cornell University, Ithaca, NY (United States). Dept. of Physics

Description

Bit retrieval is the problem of reconstructing a periodic binary sequence from its periodic autocorrelation, with applications in cryptography and x-ray crystallography. After defining the problem, with and without noise, we describe and compare various algorithms for solving it. A geometrical constraint satisfaction algorithm, relaxed-reflect-reflect, is currently the best algorithm for noisy bit retrieval.
