A $(k+r,k,l)$ binary array code of length $k+r$, dimension $k$, and sub-packetization $l$ is composed of $l\times(k+r)$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}_2$, with every column of the matrix stored on a separate node in the distributed storage…

An $(m,n,a,b)$-tensor code consists of $m\times n$ matrices whose columns satisfy `$a$' parity checks and rows satisfy `$b$' parity checks (i.e., a tensor code is the tensor product of a column code and row code). Tensor codes are useful in…

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…
