Reductions Between Code Equivalence Problems

Computational Complexity 2025-11-27 v2

Abstract

In this paper we present two reductions between variants of the Code Equivalence problem. We give polynomial-time Karp reductions from Permutation Code Equivalence (PCE) to both Linear Code Equivalence (LCE) and Signed Permutation Code Equivalence (SPCE). Along with a Karp reduction from SPCE to the Lattice Isomorphism Problem (LIP) proved in a paper by Bennett and Win (2024), our second result implies a reduction from PCE to LIP.
