In this work, we study the performance of Reed--Solomon codes against adversarial insertion-deletion (insdel) errors. We prove that over fields of size $n^{O(k)}$ there are $[n,k]$ Reed-Solomon codes that can decode from $n-2k+1$ insdel…

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…

We consider simultaneous Waring decompositions: Given forms $ f_d $ of degrees $ kd $, $ (d = 2,3 )$, which admit a representation as $ d $-th power sums of $ k $-forms $ q_1,\ldots,q_m $, when is it possible to reconstruct the addends $…
