In this work, doubly extended linearized Reed--Solomon codes and triply extended Reed--Solomon codes are generalized. We obtain a general result in which we characterize when a multiply extended code for a general metric attains the…

We prove that Reed-Solomon (RS) codes with random evaluation points are list recoverable up to capacity with optimal output list size, for any input list size. Namely, given an input list size $\ell$, a designated rate $R$, and any…

We investigate the list decodability of symbol-pair codes in the present paper. Firstly, we show that list decodability of every symbol-pair code does not exceed the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. On the other hand, we are able to prove that with…

We show that any q-ary code with sufficiently good distance can be randomly punctured to obtain, with high probability, a code that is list decodable up to radius $1 - 1/q - \epsilon$ with near-optimal rate and list sizes. Our results imply…

List-decoding and list-recovery are important generalizations of unique decoding that received considerable attention over the years. However, the optimal trade-off among list-decoding (resp. list-recovery) radius, list size, and the code…

Reed--Solomon codes are a well--studied code class which fulfill the Singleton bound with equality. However, their length is limited to the size $q$ of the underlying field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper we present a code construction which…

List-decodability of Reed-Solomon codes has received a lot of attention, but the best-possible dependence between the parameters is still not well-understood. In this work, we focus on the case where the list-decoding radius is of the form…

A simple, recently observed generalization of the classical Singleton bound to list-decoding asserts that rate $R$ codes are not list-decodable using list-size $L$ beyond an error fraction $\frac{L}{L+1} (1-R)$ (the Singleton bound being…
