The sequence reconstruction problem, introduced by Levenshtein in 2001, considers a scenario where the sender transmits a codeword from some codebook, and the receiver obtains $N$ noisy outputs of the codeword. We study the problem of…
For the majority of the applications of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes, hard decision decoding is based on syndromes. Recently, there has been renewed interest in decoding RS codes without using syndromes. In this paper, we investigate the…
We consider the repair scheme of Guruswami-Wootters for the Reed-Solomon code and ask: can we correctly repair a failed node in the presence of erroneous nodes? Equivalently, we consider the collection of downloaded traces as a code and…
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…
Folded Reed-Solomon (FRS) codes are variants of Reed-Solomon codes, known for their optimal list decoding radius. We show explicit FRS codes with rate $R$ that can be list decoded up to radius $1-R-\epsilon$ with lists of size…
Algebraic codes that achieve list decoding capacity were recently constructed by a careful ``folding'' of the Reed-Solomon code. The ``low-degree'' nature of this folding operation was crucial to the list decoding algorithm. We show how…
Reed--Solomon codes are a well--studied code class which fulfill the Singleton bound with equality. However, their length is limited to the size $q$ of the underlying field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper we present a code construction which…
We generalize the list decoding algorithm for Hermitian codes proposed by Lee and O'Sullivan based on Gr\"obner bases to general one-point AG codes, under an assumption weaker than one used by Beelen and Brander. By using the same…
The concept of prefactors is considered in order to decrease the complexity of the Guruswami-Sudan interpolation step for generalized Reed-Solomon codes. It is shown that the well-known re-encoding projection due to Koetter et al. leads to…
An interpolation-based decoding scheme for interleaved subspace codes is presented. The scheme can be used as a (not necessarily polynomial-time) list decoder as well as a probabilistic unique decoder. Both interpretations allow to decode…
Deep holes play an important role in the decoding of generalized Reed-Solomon codes. Recently, Wu and Hong \cite{WH} found a new class of deep holes for standard Reed-Solomon codes. In the present paper, we give a concise method to obtain a…
We study Reed--Solomon codes over arbitrary fields, inspired by several recent papers dealing with Gabidulin codes over fields of characteristic zero. Over the field of rational numbers, we derive bounds on the coefficient growth during…
Recently, Martinez-Penas and Kschischang (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 2019) showed that lifted linearized Reed-Solomon codes are suitable codes for error control in multishot network coding. We show how to construct and decode lifted…
We propose an improved algorithm for finding roots of polynomials over finite fields. This makes possible significant speedup of the decoding process of Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem, Reed-Solomon, and some other error-correcting codes.
We show that any q-ary code with sufficiently good distance can be randomly punctured to obtain, with high probability, a code that is list decodable up to radius $1 - 1/q - \epsilon$ with near-optimal rate and list sizes. Our results imply…
Motivated by recent developments in coding theory, particular in list-decoding, we introduce a new error model which we call semi-adversarial errors. This error model bridges between fully random errors and fully adversarial errors by…

In this paper we consider algebraic geometry (AG) codes: a class of codes constructed from algebraic codes (equivalently, using function fields) by Goppa. These codes can be list-decoded using the famous Guruswami-Sudan (GS) list-decoder,…
A new effective decoding algorithm is presented for arbitrary algebraic-geometric codes on the basis of solving a generalized key equation with the majority coset scheme of Duursma. It is an improvement of Ehrhard's algorithm, since the…
