Distributed storage codes have important applications in the design of modern storage systems. In a distributed storage system, every storage node has a probability to fail and once an individual storage node fails, it must be reconstructed…

In the literature, most of the known high-rate $(n,k)$ MDS array codes with the optimal repair property only support a single repair degree (i.e., the number of helper nodes contacted during a repair process) $d$, where $k\le d\le n-1$.…
We study linear exact repair for $(n,k,\ell)$ MDS array codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$, with redundancy $r=n-k$, in the regime where $q$, $r$, and $\ell$ are fixed and the code length $n$ varies. A recent projective counting argument gives a…
