In this paper, we establish the list-decoding capacity theorem for sum-rank metric codes. This theorem implies the list-decodability theorem for random general sum-rank metric codes: Any random general sum-rank metric code with a rate not…
Power decoding, or "decoding using virtual interleaving" is a technique for decoding Reed--Solomon codes up to the Sudan radius. Since the method's inception, it has been an open question if it is possible to use this approach to decode up…
We propose a new partial decoding algorithm for one-point Hermitian codes that can decode up to the same number of errors as the Guruswami--Sudan decoder. Simulations suggest that it has a similar failure probability as the latter one. The…

First- and second-order Reed-Muller (RM(1) and RM(2), respectively) codes are two fundamental error-correcting codes which arise in communication as well as in probabilistically-checkable proofs and learning. In this paper, we take the…
In modern practical data centers, storage nodes are usually organized into equally sized groups, which is called racks. The cost of cross-rack communication is much more expensive compared with the intra-rack communication cost. The codes…

In distributed storage, erasure codes -- like Reed-Solomon Codes -- are often employed to provide reliability. In this setting, it is desirable to be able to repair one or more failed nodes while minimizing the repair bandwidth. In this…
