The classical family of $[n,k]_q$ Reed-Solomon codes over a field $\F_q$ consist of the evaluations of polynomials $f \in \F_q[X]$ of degree $< k$ at $n$ distinct field elements. In this work, we consider a closely related family of codes,…

We establish an equivalence between two important random ensembles of linear codes: random linear codes (RLCs) and random Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. Specifically, we show that these models exhibit identical behavior with respect to key…

Lifted Reed-Solomon codes are a natural affine-invariant family of error-correcting codes which generalize Reed-Muller codes. They were known to have efficient local-testing and local-decoding algorithms (comparable to the known algorithms…

This paper shows that there exist Reed--Solomon (RS) codes, over \black{exponentially} large finite fields \black{in the code length}, that are combinatorially list-decodable well beyond the Johnson radius, in fact almost achieving the…

We show that Reed-Solomon codes of dimension $k$ and block length $n$ over any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ can be deterministically list decoded from agreement $\sqrt{(k-1)n}$ in time $\text{poly}(n, \log |\mathbb{F}|)$. Prior to this work,…

Folded Reed-Solomon (FRS) codes are variants of Reed-Solomon codes, known for their optimal list decoding radius. We show explicit FRS codes with rate $R$ that can be list decoded up to radius $1-R-\epsilon$ with lists of size…
