We present a new decoding algorithm based on error locating pairs and correcting an amount of errors exceeding half the minimum distance. When applied to Reed--Solomon or algebraic geometry codes, the algorithm is a reformulation of the…
Algebraic decoding algorithms are commonly applied for the decoding of Reed-Solomon codes. Their main advantages are low computational complexity and predictable decoding capabilities. Many algorithms can be extended for correction of both…

This paper studies random-coding error exponents of randomised list decoding, in which the decoder randomly selects $L$ messages with probabilities proportional to the decoding metric of the codewords. The exponents (or bounds) are given…
We give a linear-time erasure list-decoding algorithm for expander codes. More precisely, let $r > 0$ be any integer. Given an inner code $C_0$ of length $d$, and a $d$-regular bipartite expander graph $G$ with $n$ vertices on each side, we…

In this work, we give the first construction of high-rate locally list-recoverable codes. List-recovery has been an extremely useful building block in coding theory, and our motivation is to use these codes as such a building block. In…
Optimal constructions of classical LDPC codes can be obtained by choosing the Tanner graph uniformly at random among biregular graphs. We introduce a class of codes that we call ``diffusion codes'', defined by placing each edge connecting…

A binary code is said to be a disjunctive list-decoding $s_L$-code, $s\ge1$, $L\ge1$, (briefly, LD $s_L$-code) if the code is identified by the incidence matrix of a family of finite sets in which the union of any $s$ sets can cover not…
