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…

We establish an equivalence between two important random ensembles of linear codes: random linear codes (RLCs) and random Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. Specifically, we show that these models exhibit identical behavior with respect to key…

A locally recoverable code (LRC code) is a code over a finite alphabet such that every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number of other symbols that form a recovering set. In this paper we derive new finite-length and…

The sum-rank metric provides a unifying framework that generalizes both the celebrated Hamming and rank metrics, and has found applications in areas such as network coding, distributed storage, and space-time coding. A central problem is to…

In this paper motivated from subspace coding we introduce subspace-metric codes and subset-metric codes. These are coordinate-position independent pseudometrics and suitable for the folded codes. The half-Singleton upper bounds for linear…

Erasure codes play an important role in storage systems to prevent data loss. In this work, we study a class of erasure codes called Multi-Erasure Locally Recoverable Codes (ME-LRCs) for storage arrays. Compared to previous related works,…
