Locally repairable codes (LRCs) were originally introduced to enable efficient recovery from erasures in distributed storage systems by accessing only a small number of other symbols. While their structural properties-such as bounds and…
In an $[n,k,d]$ linear code, a code symbol is said to have locality $r$ if it can be repaired by accessing at most $r$ other code symbols. For an $(n,k,r)$ \emph{locally repairable code} (LRC), the minimum distance satisfies the well-known…
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…

We develop a duality theory of locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and apply it to establish a series of new bounds on their parameters. We introduce and study a refined notion of weight distribution that captures the code's locality. Using a…
Distributed data storage systems are essential to deal with the need to store massive volumes of data. In order to make such a system fault-tolerant, some form of redundancy becomes crucial, incurring various overheads - most prominently in…
Private Information Retrieval (PIR) schemes allow a user to retrieve a record from the server without revealing any information on which record is being downloaded. In this paper, we consider PIR schemes where the database is stored using…
New asymptotic upper bounds are presented on the rate of sequences of locally repairable codes (LRCs) with a prescribed relative minimum distance and locality over a finite field $F$. The bounds apply to LRCs in which the recovery functions…
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…
In modern practical data centers, storage nodes are usually organized into equally sized groups, which is called racks. The cost of cross-rack communication is much more expensive compared with the intra-rack communication cost. The codes…
Codes over rings, especially over Galois rings, have been extensively studied for nearly three decades due to their similarity to linear codes over finite fields. A distributed storage system uses a linear code to encode a large file across…
In the context of distributed storage systems, locally repairable codes have become important. In this paper we focus on codes that allow for multi-erasure pattern decoding with low computational effort. Different optimality requirements,…
In error-correcting codes, locality refers to several different ways of quantifying how easily a small amount of information can be recovered from encoded data. In this work, we study a notion of locality called the s-Disjoint-Repair-Group…
Considerable interest has been paid in recent literature to codes combining local and global properties for erasure correction. Applications are in cloud type of implementations, in which fast recovery of a failed storage device is…
In this paper we give constructions for infinite sequences of finite non-linear locally recoverable codes $\mathcal C\subseteq \prod\limits^N_{i=1}\mathbb F_{q_i}$ over a product of finite fields arising from basis expansions in algebraic…
Low degree Reed-Muller codes are known to satisfy local decoding properties which find applications in private information retrieval (PIR) protocols, for instance. However, their practical instantiation encounters a first barrier due to…
This paper studies optimal quantum $(r,\delta)$-LRCs from matrix-product (MP) codes. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for an MP code to be an optimal $(r,\delta)$-LRC. Based on this, we present a characterization for…
Motivated by the construction of optimal locally repairable codes, we introduce the new finite geometric concept of a \emph{local arc} which is defined as a collection $\mathcal{S}$ of disjoint point sets $S_{i}$ in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q)$ such…
