Maximum rank distance codes denoted MRD-codes are the equivalent in rank metric of MDS-codes. Given any integer $q$ power of a prime and any integer $n$ there is a family of MRD-codes of length $n$ over $\FF{q^n}$ having polynomial-time…

MDS codes have garnered significant attention due to their wide applications in practice. To date, most known MDS codes are equivalent to Reed-Solomon codes. The construction of non-Reed-Solomon (non-RS) type MDS codes has emerged as an…

Folded Reed-Solomon codes are an explicit family of codes that achieve the optimal trade-off between rate and error-correction capability: specifically, for any $\eps > 0$, the author and Rudra (2006,08) presented an $n^{O(1/\eps)}$ time…

Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are considered optimal because the minimum distance cannot be improved for a given length and code size. The most prominent MDS codes are likely the generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes. In 1989, Roth…

We consider the problem of designing optimal linear codes (in terms of having the largest minimum distance) subject to a support constraint on the generator matrix. We show that the largest minimum distance can be achieved by a subcode of a…

We show that any q-ary code with sufficiently good distance can be randomly punctured to obtain, with high probability, a code that is list decodable up to radius $1 - 1/q - \epsilon$ with near-optimal rate and list sizes. Our results imply…
