An $(r, \delta)$-locally repairable code ($(r, \delta)$-LRC for short) was introduced by Prakash et al. \cite{Prakash2012} for tolerating multiple failed nodes in distributed storage systems, which was a generalization of the concept of…

By a locally recoverable code (LRC), we will in this paper, mean a linear code in which a given code symbol can be recovered by taking a linear combination of at most $r$ other code symbols with $r << k$. A natural extension is to the local…

We consider the locally repairable codes (LRC), aiming at sequential recovering multiple erasures. We define the (n,k,r,t)-SLRC (Sequential Locally Repairable Codes) as an [n,k] linear code where any t'(>= t) erasures can be sequentially…

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…

Local Reconstruction Codes (LRCs) allow for recovery from a small number of erasures in a local manner based on just a few other codeword symbols. A maximally recoverable (MR) LRC offers the best possible blend of such local and global…

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…

Linear erasure codes with local repairability are desirable for distributed data storage systems. An [n, k, d] code having all-symbol (r, \delta})-locality, denoted as (r, {\delta})a, is considered optimal if it also meets the minimum…

A family of distance-optimal LRC codes from certain subcodes of $q$-ary Reed-Solomon codes, proposed by I.~Tamo and A.~Barg in 2014, assumes that the code length $n$ is a multiple of $r+1.$ By shortening codes from this family, we show that…
