In this paper we present a concrete algebraic construction of a novel class of convolutional codes. These codes are built upon generalized Vandermonde matrices and therefore can be seen as a natural extension of Reed-Solomon block codes to…

We extend coded distributed computing over finite fields to allow the number of workers to be larger than the field size. We give codes that work for fully general matrix multiplication and show that in this case we serendipitously have…

We present an approach to showing that a linear code is resilient to random errors. We use this approach to obtain decoding results for both transitive codes and Reed-Muller codes. We give three kinds of results about linear codes in…

A new iterative low complexity algorithm has been presented for computing the Walsh-Hadamard transform (WHT) of an $N$ dimensional signal with a $K$-sparse WHT, where $N$ is a power of two and $K = O(N^\alpha)$, scales sub-linearly in $N$…
