List-decoding of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes beyond the so called Johnson radius has been one of the main open questions since the work of Guruswami and Sudan. It is now known by the work of Rudra and Wootters, using techniques from high…
In this paper q-ary Raptor codes under ML decoding are considered. An upper bound on the probability of decoding failure is derived using the weight enumerator of the outer code, or its expected weight enumerator if the outer code is drawn…
A simple, recently observed generalization of the classical Singleton bound to list-decoding asserts that rate $R$ codes are not list-decodable using list-size $L$ beyond an error fraction $\frac{L}{L+1} (1-R)$ (the Singleton bound being…
We investigate the decoding region for Algebraic Soft-Decision Decoding (ASD) of Reed-Solomon codes in a discrete, memoryless, additive-noise channel. An expression is derived for the error correction radius within which the soft-decision…
The well-known approach of Bose, Ray-Chaudhuri and Hocquenghem and its generalization by Hartmann and Tzeng are lower bounds on the minimum distance of simple-root cyclic codes. We generalize these two bounds to the case of repeated-root…
The list-decodable code has been an active topic in theoretical computer science.There are general results about the list-decodability to the Johnson radius and the list-decoding capacity theorem. In this paper we show that rates,…
The repair bandwidth of a code is the minimum amount of data required to repair one or several failed nodes (erasures). For MDS codes, the repair bandwidth is bounded below by the so-called cut-set bound, and codes that meet this bound with…
Constructing Reed-Solomon (RS) codes that can correct insertion and deletion (ins-del) errors has been the focus of several recent studies. However, efficient decoding algorithms for such codes have received less attention and remain a…
Erasure list decoding was introduced to correct a larger number of erasures with output of a list of possible candidates. In the present paper, we consider both random linear codes and algebraic geometry codes for list decoding erasure…
We introduce a decoder for the 3D color code with boundaries, which is a variation of the restriction decoder introduced by Kubicka and Delfosse. Specifically, we adapt the lift procedure to efficiently find a correction on qubits adjacent…
We present an approach to showing that a linear code is resilient to random errors. We use this approach to obtain decoding results for both transitive codes and Reed-Muller codes. We give three kinds of results about linear codes in…
Polynomial evaluation codes hold a prominent place in coding theory. In this work, we study the problem of list decoding for a general class of polynomial evaluation codes, also known as Toric codes, that are defined for any given convex…
We show that polynomial codes (and some related codes) used for distributed matrix multiplication are interleaved Reed-Solomon codes and, hence, can be collaboratively decoded. We consider a fault tolerant setup where $t$ worker nodes…
The root finding step of the Guruswami-Rudra list decoding algorithm for folded Reed-Solomon codes is considered. It is shown that a multivariate generalization of the Roth-Ruckenstein algorithm can be used to implement it. This leads to an…
