In this note we first review the classical Petterson-Gorenstein-Zierler decoding algorithm for the class of alternant codes (which includes Reed-Solomon, Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem and classical Goppa codes), then we present an improvement…
Mart{\'\i}nez-Pe{\~n}as and Kschischang (IEEE Trans.\ Inf.\ Theory, 2019) proposed lifted linearized Reed--Solomon codes as suitable codes for error control in multishot network coding. We show how to construct and decode \ac{LILRS} codes.…
Iterative decoding of non-binary LDPC codes is currently performed using either the Sum-Product or the Min-Sum algorithms or slightly different versions of them. In this paper, several low-complexity quasi-optimal iterative algorithms are…

In [4] we describe a variation of the classical permutation decoding algorithm that can be applied to any binary affine-invariant code; in particular, it can be applied to first-order Reed-Muller codes successfully. In this paper we study…
Recently, a number of authors have proposed decoding schemes for Reed-Solomon (RS) codes based on multiple trials of a simple RS decoding algorithm. In this paper, we present a rate-distortion (R-D) approach to analyze these…
We introduce the new concept of computation coding. Similar to how rate-distortion theory is concerned with the lossy compression of data, computation coding deals with the lossy computation of functions. Particularizing to linear…

We consider a new family of codes, termed asymmetric Lee distance codes, that arise in the design and implementation of DNA-based storage systems and systems with parallel string transmission protocols. The codewords are defined over a…
We show that decoding of $\ell$-Interleaved Gabidulin codes, as well as list-$\ell$ decoding of Mahdavifar--Vardy codes can be performed by row reducing skew polynomial matrices. Inspired by row reduction of $\F[x]$ matrices, we develop a…
This paper presents an algorithm for decoding homogeneous interleaved codes of high interleaving order in the rank metric. The new decoder is an adaption of the Hamming-metric decoder by Metzner and Kapturowski (1990) and guarantees to…
Transversal logical gates offer the opportunity for fast and low-noise logic, particularly when interspersed by a single round of parity check measurements of the underlying code. Using such circuits for the surface code requires decoding…
Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are an important class of non-binary error-correction codes. They are particularly competent in correcting burst errors, being widely applied in modern communications and data storage systems. This also thanks to…
As far as we know, there is no decoding algorithm of any binary self-dual $[40, 20, 8]$ code except for the syndrome decoding applied to the code directly. This syndrome decoding for a binary self-dual $[40,20,8]$ code is not efficient in…
This paper considers a new alphabet set, which is a ring that we call $\mathbb{F}_4R$, to construct linear error-control codes. Skew cyclic codes over the ring are then investigated in details. We define a nondegenerate inner product and…

The security of code-based cryptography usually relies on the hardness of the syndrome decoding (SD) problem for the Hamming weight. The best generic algorithms are all improvements of an old algorithm by Prange, and they are known under…
