Polynomial remainder codes are a large class of codes derived from the Chinese remainder theorem that includes Reed-Solomon codes as a special case. In this paper, we revisit these codes and study them more carefully than in previous work.…
We study the classification of minimal codewords of projective Reed-Muller codes of order $2$. This problem is equivalent to identifying quadrics over finite fields whose set of rational points is maximal with respect to the inclusion. We…
This paper introduces a new approach to proving that a sequence of deterministic linear codes achieves capacity on an erasure channel under maximum a posteriori decoding. Rather than relying on the precise structure of the codes, this…
We decode Reed-Solomon codes using soft information provided at the receiver. The Extended Euclidean Algorithm (EEA) is considered as an initial step to obtain an intermediate result. The final decoding result is obtained by interpolating…
Most bounds on the size of codes hold for any code, whether linear or not. Notably, the Griesmer bound holds only in the linear case and so optimal linear codes are not necessarily optimal codes. In this paper we identify code parameters…
A collection of sets satisfies a $(\delta,\varepsilon)$-proximity gap with respect to some property if for every set in the collection, either (i) all members of the set are $\delta$-close to the property in (relative) Hamming distance, or…
The determination of the weight distribution of linear codes has been a fascinating problem since the very beginning of coding theory. There has been a lot of research on weight enumerators of special cases, such as self-dual codes and…
In this paper, an expression for the asymptotic growth rate of the number of small linear-weight codewords of irregular doubly-generalized LDPC (D-GLDPC) codes is derived. The expression is compact and generalizes existing results for LDPC…
We study the list-decoding problem of alternant codes, with the notable case of classical Goppa codes. The major consideration here is to take into account the size of the alphabet, which shows great influence on the list-decoding radius.…
Pre-transformed polar codes (PTPCs) form a class of codes that perform close to the finite-length capacity bounds. The minimum distance and the number of minimum weight codewords are two decisive properties for their performance. In this…
First- and second-order Reed-Muller (RM(1) and RM(2), respectively) codes are two fundamental error-correcting codes which arise in communication as well as in probabilistically-checkable proofs and learning. In this paper, we take the…
The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…
We prove that a random linear code over F_q, with probability arbitrarily close to 1, is list decodable at radius (1-1/q-\epsilon) with list size L=O(1/\epsilon^2) and rate R=\Omega_q(\epsilon^2/(log^3(1/\epsilon))). Up to the…
In this paper, we show that the projective Reed-Muller~(PRM) codes form a family of locally correctable codes~(LCC) in the regime of low query complexities. A PRM code is specified by the alphabet size $q$, the number of variables $m$, and…
The codewords of the homomorphism code $\operatorname{aHom}(G,H)$ are the affine homomorphisms between two finite groups, $G$ and $H$, generalizing Hadamard codes. Following the work of Goldreich--Levin (1989), Grigorescu et al. (2006),…
We prove that Reed-Solomon (RS) codes with random evaluation points are list recoverable up to capacity with optimal output list size, for any input list size. Namely, given an input list size $\ell$, a designated rate $R$, and any…
Raptor code ensembles with linear random outer codes in a fixed-rate setting are considered. An expression for the average distance spectrum is derived and this expression is used to obtain the asymptotic exponent of the weight…
The Damerau-Levenshtein distance between two sequences is the minimum number of operations (deletions, insertions, substitutions, and adjacent transpositions) required to convert one sequence into another. Notwithstanding a long history of…
This paper computationally obtains optimal bounded-weight, binary, error-correcting codes for a variety of distance bounds and dimensions. We compare the sizes of our codes to the sizes of optimal constant-weight, binary, error-correcting…
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…
