Petabyte-scale distributed storage systems are currently transitioning to erasure codes to achieve higher storage efficiency. Classical codes like Reed-Solomon are highly sub-optimal for distributed environments due to their high overhead…

An $(n,r,h,a,q)$-Local Reconstruction Code (LRC) is a linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ of length $n$, whose codeword symbols are partitioned into $n/r$ local groups each of size $r$. Each local group satisfies `$a$' local parity checks to…

A code over a finite field is called locally recoverable code (LRC) if every coordinate symbol can be determined by a small number (at most r, this parameter is called locality) of other coordinate symbols. For a linear code with length n,…

In this paper, we propose locally repairable codes (LRCs) with optimal minimum distance for distributed storage systems (DSS). A two-layer encoding structure is employed to ensure data reconstruction and the designated repair locality. The…

We study monomial-Cartesian codes (MCCs) which can be regarded as $(r,\delta)$-locally recoverable codes (LRCs). These codes come with a natural bound for their minimum distance and we determine those giving rise to $(r,\delta)$-optimal…

We introduce a family of balanced locally repairable codes (BLRCs) $[n, k, d]$ for arbitrary values of $n$, $k$ and $d$. Similar to other locally repairable codes (LRCs), the presented codes are suitable for applications that require a low…

In this paper, a link between polymatroid theory and locally repairable codes (LRCs) is established. The codes considered here are completely general in that they are subsets of $A^n$, where $A$ is an arbitrary finite set. Three classes of…

Local Reconstruction Codes (LRCs) allow for recovery from a small number of erasures in a local manner based on just a few other codeword symbols. A maximally recoverable (MR) LRC offers the best possible blend of such local and global…

Recently, it was discovered by several authors that a $q$-ary optimal locally recoverable code, i.e., a locally recoverable code archiving the Singleton-type bound, can have length much bigger than $q+1$. This is quite different from the…

In distributed storage systems, erasure codes with locality $r$ is preferred because a coordinate can be recovered by accessing at most $r$ other coordinates which in turn greatly reduces the disk I/O complexity for small $r$. However, the…
