Subspace codes were introduced in order to correct errors and erasures for randomized network coding, in the case where network topology is unknown (the noncoherent case). Subspace codes are indeed collections of subspaces of a certain…

This paper discusses a stylized communications problem where one wishes to transmit a real-valued signal x in R^n (a block of n pieces of information) to a remote receiver. We ask whether it is possible to transmit this information reliably…

Maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding for arbitrary block codes remains fundamentally hard, with worst-case time complexity-measured by the total number of multiplications-being no better than straightforward exhaustive search, which requires…

Under polynomial time reduction, the maximum likelihood decoding of a linear code is equivalent to computing the error distance of a received word. It is known that the decoding complexity of standard Reed-Solomon codes at certain radius is…

In this work, we study the performance of Reed-Solomon codes against an adversary that first permutes the symbols of the codeword and then performs insertions and deletions. This adversarial model is motivated by the recent interest in…

The complexity of maximal likelihood decoding of the Reed-Solomon codes $[q-1, k]_q$ is a well known open problem. The only known result in this direction states that it is at least as hard as the discrete logarithm in some cases where the…
