Apparatuses and methods for resolving trapping sets are provided. One example method can include attempting to decode a codeword using initial values for confidence levels associated with digits of the codeword. For a trapping set, the confidence levels associated with the digits corresponding to a failed parity check are adjusted. The method further includes attempting to decode a codeword using the adjusted value for the confidence levels of the digits corresponding to the failed parity check.

A method and apparatus are provided for encoding and decoding digital information. A sequence of data words is received, wherein each data word has a running digital sum (RDS). The sequence of data words is encoded into a sequence of corresponding code words, which has a current RDS. For each data word a binary symbol is added to the data word and the data word is selectively complemented as a function of the RDS of the data word and the current RDS of the sequence of code words to form the corresponding code word.

Some embodiments include apparatus and methods for encoding message information. Such apparatus and methods can include using a parity check matrix of a low-density parity check (LDPC) code to generate a first matrix having an upper triangular sub-matrix. Parity information to encode the message information can be generated based on the first matrix if a total number of rows of the upper triangular sub-matrix is equal to the rank of the parity check matrix. If the total number of rows of the upper triangular sub-matrix is less than the rank of the parity check matrix, then a triangularization operation can be performed on a second sub-matrix of the first matrix to generate a second matrix. Parity information to encode the message information can be generated based on the second matrix. Other embodiments including additional apparatus and methods are described.

Methods of operating an apparatus such as a computing system and/or memory device for memory endurance are provided. One example method can include receiving m digits of data having a first quantity of digits represented by a first data state that is more detrimental to memory cell wear than a second data state. The m digits of data are encoded into n digits of data having a second quantity of digits represented by the first data state. The value n is greater than the value m. The second quantity is less than or equal to the first quantity. The n digits of data are stored in an apparatus having memory cells.

The present invention involves a method to transmit data over a communication channel that can be modelled as one of the three following partial response channels: dicode channel, PR4 channel and EPR4 channel. The method includes choosing a code, based on its algebraic structure, to obtain a desired minimum distance for the coded channel. A data sequence to be written to the storage medium is received and encoded according to the chosen code, to obtain encoded data. The encoded data is written to the storage medium.

A method is provided for encoding and decoding binary data, using a non-quasicatastrophic and phase invariant matched spectral null code for a partial response channel. The method is particularly suited for partial response systems wherein the order of the higher order null in the transfer function of the partial response channel is .gtoreq.1, resulting in signal-to-noise (SNR) gain at the channel output. In a preferred form, the method is used to develop a rate 3/10 Nyquist-null trellis code.
