In this paper, we introduce a novel explicit family of subcodes of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes that efficiently achieve list decoding capacity with a constant output list size. Our approach builds upon the idea of large linear subcodes of RS…

Power decoding is a partial decoding paradigm for arbitrary algebraic geometry codes for decoding beyond half the minimum distance, which usually returns the unique closest codeword, but in rare cases fails to return anything. The original…

The recently-emerging field of higher order MDS codes has sought to unify a number of concepts in coding theory. Such areas captured by higher order MDS codes include maximally recoverable (MR) tensor codes, codes with optimal list-decoding…

The most successful method to obtain lower bounds for the minimum distance of an algebraic geometric code is the order bound, which generalizes the Feng-Rao bound. We provide a significant extension of the bound that improves the order…

We propose a new partial decoding algorithm for one-point Hermitian codes that can decode up to the same number of errors as the Guruswami--Sudan decoder. Simulations suggest that it has a similar failure probability as the latter one. The…
