We consider codes over fixed alphabets against worst-case symbol deletions. For any fixed $k \ge 2$, we construct a family of codes over alphabet of size $k$ with positive rate, which allow efficient recovery from a worst-case deletion…

In this paper, we present new constructions of $q$-ary Singleton-optimal locally repairable codes (LRCs) with minimum distance $d=6$ and locality $r=3$, based on combinatorial structures from finite geometry. By exploiting the well-known…

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…

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…

For nonnegative integers $n_2, n_3$ and $d$, let $N(n_2,n_3,d)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a code of length $n_2+n_3$, with $n_2$ binary coordinates and $n_3$ ternary coordinates (in this order) and with minimum distance at least…

Classical locally recoverable codes, which permit highly efficient recovery from localized errors as well as global recovery from larger errors, provide some of the most useful codes for distributed data storage in practice. In this paper,…

Maximally recoverable codes are a class of codes which recover from all potentially recoverable erasure patterns given the locality constraints of the code. In earlier works, these codes have been studied in the context of codes with…

By incorporating the concept of locality into quantum information theory, quantum locally recoverable codes (qLRCs) have been proposed, motivated by their potential applications in large-scale quantum data storage and their relevance to…

In this paper, a link between polymatroid theory and locally repairable codes (LRCs) is established. The codes considered here are completely general in that they are subsets of $A^n$, where $A$ is an arbitrary finite set. Three classes of…

In this paper we construct new optimal hierarchical locally recoverable codes. Our construction is based on a combination of the ideas of \cite{ballentine2019codes,sasidharan2015codes} with an algebraic number theoretical approach that…

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 recoverable codes (LRCs) are classical error-correcting codes widely used in large scale distributed and cloud storage systems. Quantum locally recoverable codes (quantum LRCs) are the quantum counterpart of classical LRCs. They…

In distributed storage systems, erasure codes with locality $r$ is preferred because a coordinate can be recovered by accessing at most $r$ other coordinates which in turn greatly reduces the disk I/O complexity for small $r$. However, the…
