An improved Singleton-type upper bound is presented for the list decoding radius of linear codes, in terms of the code parameters [n,k,d] and the list size L. L-MDS codes are then defined as codes that attain this bound (under a slightly…

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…

In this paper we develop a technique to extend any bound for cyclic codes constructed from its defining sets (ds-bounds) to abelian (or multivariate) codes. We use this technique to improve the searching of new bounds for abelian codes.

In this work, we study the codes over the integers with locality constraints. We introduce a weighted notion of locality over $\mathbb{Z}/q_1\mathbb{Z} \times \cdots \times \mathbb{Z}/q_n\mathbb{Z}$ and derive a Singleton-like bound for…
