Linear codes over finite extension fields have widespread applications in theory and practice. In some scenarios, the decoder has a sequential access to the codeword symbols, giving rise to a hierarchical erasure structure. In this paper we…

For a systematic erasure code, update complexity (UC) is defined as the maximum number of parity blocks needed to be changed when some information blocks are updated. Locally repairable codes (LRCs) have been recently proposed and used in…

A Locally Recoverable code is an error-correcting code such that any erasure in a single coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from a small subset of other coordinates. We study Locally Recoverable Algebraic Geometry codes arising from…

We construct maximally recoverable codes (corresponding to partial MDS codes) which are based on linearized Reed-Solomon codes. The new codes have a smaller field size requirement compared with known constructions. For certain asymptotic…

We consider irregular product codes.In this class of codes, each codeword is represented by a matrix. The entries in each row (column) of the matrix should come from a component row (column) code. As opposed to (standard) product codes, we…
