Recursive list decoding of Reed-Muller (RM) codes, with moderate list size, is known to approach maximum-likelihood (ML) performance of short length $(\leq 256)$ RM codes. Recursive decoding employs the Plotkin construction to split the…

We provide a general framework for bounding the block error threshold of a linear code $C\subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^N$ over the erasure channel in terms of its bit error threshold. Our approach relies on understanding the minimum support weight…

We prove that for any additive noise channel over $\mathbb{F}_q$, there exist error-correcting codes approaching channel capacity encodable by arithmetic circuits (with weighted addition gates) over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of size $O(n)$ and depth…
