We address an open problem posed by Chen-Cheng-Qi (IEEE Trans.\ Inf.\ Theory, 2025): can the decoding of binary sum-rank-metric codes $\SR(C_1,C_2)$ with $2\times2$ matrix blocks be reduced entirely to decoding the constituent…

This work studies several decoding algorithms for hyperbolic codes. We use some previous ideas to describe how to decode a hyperbolic code using the largest Reed-Muller code contained in it or using the smallest Reed-Muller code that…

This work proves new results on the ability of binary Reed-Muller codes to decode from random errors and erasures. We obtain these results by proving improved bounds on the weight distribution of Reed-Muller codes of high degrees.…
