We introduce a new family of Fountain codes that are systematic and also have sparse parities. Given an input of $k$ symbols, our codes produce an unbounded number of output symbols, generating each parity independently by linearly…
Employing underlying geometric and algebraic structures allows for constructing bespoke codes for local recovery of erasures. We survey techniques for enriching classical codes with additional machinery, such as using lines or curves in…
A locally recoverable code is an error-correcting code such that any erasure in a coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from a set of other few coordinates. In this article we introduce a model of local recoverable codes that also…
Partial maximum distance separable (PMDS) codes are a kind of erasure codes where the nodes are divided into multiple groups with each forming an MDS code with a smaller code length, thus they allow repairing a failed node with only a few…
We initiate a study of locally decodable codes with randomized encoding. Standard locally decodable codes are error correcting codes with a deterministic encoding function and a randomized decoding function, such that any desired message…
Geometrically local quantum codes, comprised of qubits and checks embedded in $\mathbb{R}^D$ with local check operators, have been a subject of significant interest. A key challenge is identifying the optimal code construction that…
We consider the design of regenerating codes for distributed storage systems that enjoy the property of local, exact and uncoded repair, i.e., (a) upon failure, a node can be regenerated by simply downloading packets from the surviving…
Recently, it was discovered by several authors that a $q$-ary optimal locally recoverable code, i.e., a locally recoverable code archiving the Singleton-type bound, can have length much bigger than $q+1$. This is quite different from the…
A locally recoverable code (LRC code) is a code over a finite alphabet such that every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number of other symbols that form a recovering set. Bounds on the rate and distance of such codes have…
We study linear codes that maximize minimum distance subject to arbitrary support constraints on the parity-check matrix. Such constraints arise naturally in the design of LDPC codes, locally repairable codes, and hardware-constrained…
We present a new family of quantum low-density parity-check codes, which we call radial codes, obtained from the lifted product of a specific subset of classical quasi-cyclic codes. The codes are defined using a pair of integers $(r,s)$ and…
Locally repairable codes with availability have become essential components in modern large-scale distributed cloud storage systems and numerous other applications. In this paper, we focus on the construction of locally repairable codes…
We give a method to construct Locally Recoverable Error-Correcting codes. This method is based on the use of rational maps between affine spaces. The recovery of erasures is carried out by Lagrangian interpolation in general and simply by…
A $q$-ary $(n,k,r)$ locally repairable code (LRC) is an $[n,k,d]$ linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that every code symbol can be recovered by accessing at most $r$ other code symbols. The well-known Singleton-like bound says that $d \le…
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…
It is reasonable to expect the theory of quantum codes to be simplified in the case of codes of minimum distance 2; thus, it makes sense to examine such codes in the hopes that techniques that prove effective there will generalize. With…
Locally recoverable codes deal with the task of reconstructing a lost symbol by relying on a portion of the remaining coordinates smaller than an information set. We consider the case of codes over finite chain rings, generalizing known…
This paper examines linear binary codes capable of correcting one or more errors. For the single-error-correcting case, it is shown that the Hamming bound is achieved by a constructive method, and an exact expression for the minimal…
MDS array codes are widely used in storage systems to protect data against erasures. We address the \emph{rebuilding ratio} problem, namely, in the case of erasures, what is the the fraction of the remaining information that needs to be…
In this paper, we introduce curve-lifted codes over fields of arbitrary characteristic, inspired by Hermitian-lifted codes over $\mathbb{F}_{2^r}$. These codes are designed for locality and availability, and their particular parameters…
