Expander Graph Encoding

Definition

Expander graph encoding is a method of representing data using mathematical structures known as expander graphs, which possess strong connectivity properties. This technique allows for efficient error correction and robust data transmission, even when significant portions of the data are lost or corrupted. In cryptographic applications, it can be used to construct proofs that are compact and easy to verify, reducing computational load. Such encoding schemes are valuable for decentralized systems seeking to improve data availability and network communication efficiency.
