In most notions of locality in error correcting codes -- notably locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and locally decodable codes (LDCs) -- a decoder seeks to learn a single symbol of a message while looking at only a few symbols of the…

In this work codes with availability are constructed based on the cyclic \emph{locally repairable code} (LRC) construction by Tamo et al. and their extension to $(r,\rho)$-locality by Chen et al. The minimum distance of these codes is…

Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are widely used in distributed storage systems as they provide optimal fault tolerance for a given amount of storage overhead. The seminal work of Dimakis~\emph{et al.} first established a lower bound…

Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are a class of erasure codes that are widely used in distributed storage systems, which allow for efficient recovery of data in the case of node failures or data loss. In 2014, Tamo and Barg introduced…

Motivated by applications in distributed storage, the notion of a locally recoverable code (LRC) was introduced a few years back. In an LRC, any coordinate of a codeword is recoverable by accessing only a small number of other coordinates.…

A code is locally recoverable when each symbol in one of its code words can be reconstructed as a function of $r$ other symbols. We use bundles of projective spaces over a line to construct locally recoverable codes with availability; that…

Motivated by the construction of optimal locally repairable codes, we introduce the new finite geometric concept of a \emph{local arc} which is defined as a collection $\mathcal{S}$ of disjoint point sets $S_{i}$ in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ such…

We consider the complexities of repair algorithms for locally repairable codes and propose a class of codes that repair single node failures using addition operations only, or codes with addition based repair. We construct two families of…

This paper provides a link between matroid theory and locally repairable codes (LRCs) that are either linear or more generally almost affine. Using this link, new results on both LRCs and matroid theory are derived. The parameters…

Locally repairable codes are widely applicable in contemporary large-scale distributed cloud storage systems and various other areas. By making use of some algebraic structures of elliptic curves, Li et al. developed a series of $q$-ary…

We introduce a new class of exact Minimum-Bandwidth Regenerating (MBR) codes for distributed storage systems, characterized by a low-complexity uncoded repair process that can tolerate multiple node failures. These codes consist of the…

Storage codes are used to ensure reliable storage of data in distributed systems. Here we consider functional repair codes, where individual storage nodes that fail may be repaired efficiently and the ability to recover original data and to…

This paper studies the problem of code symbol availability: a code symbol is said to have $(r, t)$-availability if it can be reconstructed from $t$ disjoint groups of other symbols, each of size at most $r$. For example, $3$-replication…

Partial MDS (PMDS) and sector-disk (SD) codes are classes of erasure correcting codes that combine locality with strong erasure correction capabilities. We construct PMDS and SD codes with local regeneration where each local code is a…

Aiming to recover the data from several concurrent node failures, linear $r$-LRC codes with locality $r$ were extended into $(r, \delta)$-LRC codes with locality $(r, \delta)$ which can enable the local recovery of a failed node in case of…

For a code $\code$, its $i$-th symbol is said to have locality $r$ if its value can be recovered by accessing some other $r$ symbols of $\code$. Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are the family of codes such that every symbol has locality…

Locally repairable codes with locality $r$ ($r$-LRCs for short) were introduced by Gopalan et al. \cite{1} to recover a failed node of the code from at most other $r$ available nodes. And then $(r,\delta)$ locally repairable codes…

For binary $[n,k,d]$ linear locally repairable codes (LRCs), two new upper bounds on $k$ are derived. The first one applies to LRCs with disjoint local repair groups, for general values of $n,d$ and locality $r$, containing some previously…
