Locally recoverable codes (LRCs) have emerged as fundamental objects in modern coding theory, primarily due to their pivotal role in distributed and cloud storage systems. A major breakthrough in their construction was achieved by Tamo and…
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…
In general, array codes consist of $m\times n$ arrays and in many cases, the arrays satisfy parity constraints along lines of different slopes (generally with a toroidal topology). Such codes are useful for RAID type of architectures, since…
We consider linear cyclic codes with the locality property, or locally recoverable codes (LRC codes). A family of LRC codes that generalizes the classical construction of Reed-Solomon codes was constructed in a recent paper by I. Tamo and…
Grassmannian codes are known to be useful in error-correction for random network coding. Recently, they were used to prove that vector network codes outperform scalar linear network codes, on multicast networks, with respect to the alphabet…
Recently, the research on local repair codes is mainly confined to repair the failed nodes within each repair group. But if the extreme cases occur that the entire repair group has failed, the local code stored in the failed group need to…
We provide a geometric characterization of $k$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$-linear sum-rank metric codes as tuples of $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^k$. We then use this characterization to study one-weight codes in the…
We propose a new class of space-time block codes based on finite-field rank-metric codes in combination with a rank-metric-preserving mapping to the set of Eisenstein integers. It is shown that these codes achieve maximum diversity order…
In this paper we propose a new approach to code-based signatures that makes use in particular of rank metric codes. When the classical approach consists in finding the unique preimage of a syndrome through a decoding algorithm, we propose…
In this work codes with availability are constructed based on the cyclic \emph{locally repairable code} (LRC) construction by Tamo et al. and their extension to $(r,\rho)$-locality by Chen et al. The minimum distance of these codes is…
Compared with classical block codes, efficient list decoding of rank-metric codes seems more difficult. Although the list decodability of random rank-metric codes and limits to list decodability have been completely determined, little work…
We examine an error-correcting coding framework in which each coded symbol is constrained to be a function of a fixed subset of the message symbols. With an eye toward distributed storage applications, we seek to design systematic codes…
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…
Locality enables storage systems to recover failed nodes from small subsets of surviving nodes. The setting where nodes are partitioned into subsets, each allowing for local recovery, is well understood. In this work we consider a…
We construct the first (locally computable, approximately) locally list decodable codes with rate, efficiency, and error tolerance approaching the information theoretic limit, a core regime of interest for the complexity theoretic task of…
A class of linear block codes which simultaneously generalizes Gabidulin codes and a class of skew cyclic codes is defined. For these codes, both a Hartmann-Tzeng-like bound and a Roos-like bound, with respect to their rank distance, are…
We consider locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and aim to determine the smallest possible length $n=n_q(k,d,r)$ of a linear $[n,k,d]_q$-code with locality $r$. For $k\le 7$ we exactly determine all values of $n_2(k,d,2)$ and for $k\le 6$ we…
This paper introduces new constructions of sum-rank metric codes derived from algebraic function fields, as existing results on such codes remain limited. A major challenge lies in the determination of their parameters. We address this…
Maximally Recoverable Local Reconstruction Codes (LRCs) are codes designed for distributed storage to provide maximum resilience to failures for a given amount of storage redundancy and locality. An $(n,r,h,a,g)$-MR LRC has $n$ coordinates…
An $(n,r,h,a,q)$-Local Reconstruction Code (LRC) is a linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of length $n$, whose codeword symbols are partitioned into $n/r$ local groups each of size $r$. Each local group satisfies `$a$' local parity checks to…
