The GM-MDS theorem, conjectured by Dau-Song-Dong-Yuen and proved by Lovett and Yildiz-Hassibi, shows that the generator matrices of Reed-Solomon codes can attain every possible configuration of zeros for an MDS code. The recently emerging…
In this paper, we investigate completely decomposable rank-metric codes, i.e. rank-metric codes that are the direct sum of 1-dimensional maximum rank distance codes. We study the weight distribution of such codes, characterizing codewords…
In this note we first review the classical Petterson-Gorenstein-Zierler decoding algorithm for the class of alternant codes (which includes Reed-Solomon, Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem and classical Goppa codes), then we present an improvement…
We give a recursive decoding algorithm for projective Reed-Muller codes making use of a decoder for affine Reed-Muller codes. We determine the number of errors that can be corrected in this way, which is the current highest for decoders of…
Gabidulin codes can be seen as the rank-metric equivalent of Reed-Solomon codes. It was recently proven, using subspace polynomials, that Gabidulin codes cannot be list decoded beyond the so-called Johnson radius. In another result, cyclic…
The number-theoretic codes are a class of codes defined by single or multiple congruences and are mainly used for correcting insertion and deletion errors. Since the number-theoretic codes are generally non-linear, the analysis method for…
Residue arithmetic is an elegant and convenient way of computing with integers that exceed the natural word size of a computer. The algorithms are highly parallel and hence naturally adapted to quantum computation. The process differs from…
A cyclic codes of length $n$ over the rings $Z_{2^{m}}$ of integer of modulo $2^{m}$ is a linear code with property that if the codeword $(c_0,c_1,...,c_{n-1})\in \mathcal{C}$ then the cyclic shift $(c_1,c_2,...,c_0)\in \mathcal{C}$.…
In this paper, we introduce code distances, a new family of invariants for linear codes. We establish some properties and prove bounds on the code distances, and show that they are not invariants of the matroid (for a linear block code) or…
The extended Euclidean algorithm (EEA) for polynomial greatest common divisors is commonly used in solving the key equation in the decoding of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes, and more generally in BCH decoding. For this particular application, the…
We present a novel technique for encoding and decoding constant weight binary codes that uses a geometric interpretation of the codebook. Our technique is based on embedding the codebook in a Euclidean space of dimension equal to the weight…
A code over a finite alphabet is called locally recoverable (LRC) if every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number (at most $r$) other symbols. We present a family of LRC codes that attain the maximum possible value of the…
A list decoding algorithm for matrix-product codes is provided when $C_1,..., C_s$ are nested linear codes and $A$ is a non-singular by columns matrix. We estimate the probability of getting more than one codeword as output when the…
Polynomial multiplication is a fundamental problem in symbolic computation. There are efficient methods for the multiplication of two univariate polynomials. However, there is rarely efficiently nontrivial method for the multiplication of…
(Partial) Unit Memory ((P)UM) codes provide a powerful possibility to construct convolutional codes based on block codes in order to achieve a high decoding performance. In this contribution, a construction based on Gabidulin codes is…
We present error-correcting codes that achieve the information-theoretically best possible trade-off between the rate and error-correction radius. Specifically, for every $0 < R < 1$ and $\eps> 0$, we present an explicit construction of…
Convolutional codes are constructed, designed and analysed using row and/or block structures of unit algebraic schemes. Infinite series of such codes and of codes with specific properties are derived. Properties are shown algebraically and…
A framework of monomial codes is considered, which includes linear codes generated by the evaluation of certain monomials. Polar and Reed-Muller codes are the two best-known representatives of such codes and can be considered as two extreme…
We give a new algorithm for constructing Picard curves over a finite field with a given endomorphism ring. This has important applications in cryptography since curves of genus 3 allow for smaller key sizes than elliptic curves. For a…
Separating codes have their applications in collusion-secure fingerprinting for generic digital data, while they are also related to the other structures including hash family, intersection code and group testing. In this paper we study…
