abstract

We improve the lower bound on worst case trace reconstruction from $\Omega\left(\frac{n^{5/4}}{\sqrt{\log n}}\right)$ to $\Omega\left(\frac{n^{3/2}}{\log^{7} n}\right)$. As a consequence, we improve the lower bound on average case trace reconstruction from $\Omega\left(\frac{\log^{9/4}n}{\sqrt{\log\log n}}\right)$ to $\Omega\left(\frac{\log^{5/2}n}{(\log\log n)^{7}}\right)$.

  1. A Generalized Trace Reconstruction Problem: Recovering a String of Probabilities

    cs.DS 2024-12 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Worst-case probability strings require e^{Ω(√n)} traces to distinguish under deletions, while random probability strings are recoverable to ℓ1 error ε with poly(n,1/ε) traces.
