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…

We develop a duality theory of locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and apply it to establish a series of new bounds on their parameters. We introduce and study a refined notion of weight distribution that captures the code's locality. Using a…
We propose locally rewritable codes (LWC) for resistive memories inspired by locally repairable codes (LRC) for distributed storage systems. Small values of repair locality of LRC enable fast repair of a single failed node since the lost…
A longstanding open problem in coding theory is to determine the best (asymptotic) rate $R_2(\delta)$ of binary codes with minimum constant (relative) distance $\delta$. An existential lower bound was given by Gilbert and Varshamov in the…
A Locally Recoverable code is an error-correcting code such that any erasure in a single coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from a small subset of other coordinates. We study Locally Recoverable Algebraic Geometry codes arising from…
A locally correctable code (LCC) is an error correcting code that allows correction of any arbitrary coordinate of a corrupted codeword by querying only a few coordinates. We show that any {\em zero-error} $2$-query locally correctable code…
Petabyte-scale distributed storage systems are currently transitioning to erasure codes to achieve higher storage efficiency. Classical codes like Reed-Solomon are highly sub-optimal for distributed environments due to their high overhead…
A code over a finite alphabet is called locally recoverable (LRC code) if every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number (at most r) other symbols. A family of linear LRC codes that generalize the classic construction of…
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…
In the modern era of large-scale computing systems, a crucial use of error correcting codes is to judiciously introduce redundancy to ensure recoverability from failure. To get the most out of every byte, practitioners and theorists have…
It was shown in \cite{GXY18} that the length $n$ of a $q$-ary linear locally recoverable code with distance $d\ge 5$ is upper bounded by $O(dq^3)$. Thus, it is a challenging problem to construct $q$-ary locally recoverable codes with…
In this work, we give locally repairable regenerating code (LRRC) [1]-[3], [5], [6] constructions that can protect the file size promised by the graph analysis of the modified family helper selection (MFHS) scheme [1] at the…
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.…
The rate vs. distance problem is a long-standing open problem in coding theory. Recent papers have suggested a new way to tackle this problem by appealing to a new hierarchy of linear programs. If one can find good dual solutions to these…

This paper deals with the problem of increasing the minimum distance of a linear code by adding one or more columns to the generator matrix. Several methods to compute extensions of linear codes are presented. Many codes improving the…
We prove that the blocklength $n$ of a linear $3$-query locally correctable code (LCC) $\mathcal{L} \colon {\mathbb F}^k \to {\mathbb F}^n$ with distance $\delta$ must be at least $n \geq 2^{\Omega\left(\left(\frac{\delta^2 k}{(|{\mathbb…
