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…

Constructing Reed-Solomon (RS) codes that can correct insertion and deletion (ins-del) errors has been the focus of several recent studies. However, efficient decoding algorithms for such codes have received less attention and remain a…

Lifted Reed-Solomon and multiplicity codes are classes of codes, constructed from specific sets of $m$-variate polynomials. These codes allow for the design of high-rate codes that can recover every codeword or information symbol from many…

In this work, we show new and improved error-correcting properties of folded Reed-Solomon codes and multiplicity codes. Both of these families of codes are based on polynomials over finite fields, and both have been the sources of recent…

In coding theory, a common question is to understand the threshold rates of various local properties of codes, such as their list decodability and list recoverability. A recent work Levi, Mosheiff, and Shagrithaya (FOCS 2025) gave a novel…

The classical Reed-Muller codes over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ are based on evaluations of $m$-variate polynomials of degree at most $d$ over a product set $U^m$, for some $d$ less than $|U|$. Because of their good distance properties,…

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…

We show that the sequence of dimensions of the linear spaces, generated by a given rank-metric code together with itself under several applications of a field automorphism, is an invariant for the whole equivalence class of the code. The…

The list decoding problem for a code asks for the maximal radius up to which any ball of that radius contains only a constant number of codewords. The list decoding radius is not well understood even for well studied codes, like…

This article discusses the decoding of Gabidulin codes and shows how to extend the usual decoder to any supercode of a Gabidulin code at the cost of a significant decrease of the decoding radius. Using this decoder, we provide polynomial…
