We present error-correcting codes that achieve the information-theoretically best possible trade-off between the rate and error-correction radius. Specifically, for every $0 < R < 1$ and $\eps> 0$, we present an explicit construction of…

We construct $s$-interleaved linearized Reed--Solomon (ILRS) codes and variants and propose efficient decoding schemes that can correct errors beyond the unique decoding radius in the sum-rank metric. The proposed interpolation-based scheme…

So far, there is no polynomial-time list decoding algorithm (beyond half the minimum distance) for Gabidulin codes. These codes can be seen as the rank-metric equivalent of Reed--Solomon codes. In this paper, we provide bounds on the list…

We examine an error-correcting coding framework in which each coded symbol is constrained to be a function of a fixed subset of the message symbols. With an eye toward distributed storage applications, we seek to design systematic codes…

This paper investigates the decoding of certain Gabidulin codes that were transmitted over a channel with space-symmetric errors. Space-symmetric errors are additive error matrices that have the property that their column and row spaces are…

The classical family of $[n,k]_q$ Reed-Solomon codes over a field $\F_q$ consist of the evaluations of polynomials $f \in \F_q[X]$ of degree $< k$ at $n$ distinct field elements. In this work, we consider a closely related family of codes,…
