In coding theory, a common question is to understand the threshold rates of various local properties of codes, such as their list decodability and list recoverability. A recent work Levi, Mosheiff, and Shagrithaya (FOCS 2025) gave a novel…

This paper studies \emph{linear} and \emph{affine} error-correcting codes for correcting synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions. We call such codes linear/affine insdel codes. Linear codes that can correct even a single…

We introduce alphabet-permutation (AP) codes, a new family of error-correcting codes defined by iteratively applying random coordinate-wise permutations to a fixed initial word. A special case recovers random additive codes and random…

A Locally Recoverable Code is a code such that the value of any single coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from the values of a small subset of other coordinates. When we have $\delta$ non overlapping subsets of cardinality $r_i$ that…

An $(n,k,r)$ \emph{locally repairable code} (LRC) is an $[n,k,d]$ linear code where every code symbol can be repaired from at most $r$ other code symbols. An LRC is said to be optimal if the minimum distance attains the Singleton-like bound…

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…

Locally Repairable Codes (LRC's) based on generalised quadrangles were introduced by Pamies-Juarez, Hollmann and Oggier in \cite{PaHoOg2013}, and bounds on the repairability and availability were derived. In this paper, we determine the…

We construct a family of linear maximally recoverable codes with locality $r$ and dimension $r+1.$ For codes of length $n$ with $r\approx n^\alpha, 0\le\alpha\le 1$ the code alphabet is of the order $n^{1+3\alpha},$ which improves upon the…

Lifted Reed-Solomon and multiplicity codes are classes of codes, constructed from specific sets of $m$-variate polynomials. These codes allow for the design of high-rate codes that can recover every codeword or information symbol from many…

In this paper, we propose a class of threshold secret sharing schemes with repairing function between shares without the help of the dealer, that we called repairable threshold secret sharing schemes. Specifically, if a share fails, such as…

Regenerating codes and codes with locality are two schemes that have recently been proposed to ensure data collection and reliability in a distributed storage network. In a situation where one is attempting to repair a failed node,…

Typically, locally repairable codes (LRCs) and regenerating codes have been studied independently of each other, and it has not been clear how the parameters of one relate to those of the other. In this paper, a novel connection between…

The locally repairable code (LRC) studied in this paper is an $[n,k]$ linear code of which the value at each coordinate can be recovered by a linear combination of at most $r$ other coordinates. The central problem in this work is to…

Exact-repair regenerating codes are considered for the case (n,k,d)=(4,3,3), for which a complete characterization of the rate region is provided. This characterization answers in the affirmative the open question whether there exists a…

We investigate the service-rate region (SRR) of distributed storage systems that employ linear codes. We focus on systems where each server stores one code symbol, and a user recovers a data symbol by accessing any of its recovery groups,…

The problem of repairing linear codes and, in particular, Reed Solomon (RS) codes has attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to their extreme importance to distributed storage systems. In this problem, a failed code symbol (node)…

In this work, we consider the list-decodability and list-recoverability of codes in the zero-rate regime. Briefly, a code $\mathcal{C} \subseteq [q]^n$ is $(p,\ell,L)$-list-recoverable if for all tuples of input lists $(Y_1,\dots,Y_n)$ with…

MDS codes are erasure-correcting codes that can correct the maximum number of erasures for a given number of redundancy or parity symbols. If an MDS code has $r$ parities and no more than $r$ erasures occur, then by transmitting all the…
