List-decodability of Reed-Solomon codes has received a lot of attention, but the best-possible dependence between the parameters is still not well-understood. In this work, we focus on the case where the list-decoding radius is of the form…
Reed-Solomon codes are a classic family of error-correcting codes consisting of evaluations of low-degree polynomials over a finite field on some sequence of distinct field elements. They are widely known for their optimal unique-decoding…
There has been a great deal of work establishing that random linear codes are as list-decodable as uniformly random codes, in the sense that a random linear binary code of rate $1 - H(p) - \epsilon$ is $(p,O(1/\epsilon))$-list-decodable…
In the present paper, we consider list decoding for both random rank metric codes and random linear rank metric codes. Firstly, we show that, for arbitrary $0<R<1$ and $\epsilon>0$ ($\epsilon$ and $R$ are independent), if $0<\frac{n}{m}\leq…
Understanding the limits of list-decoding and list-recovery of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes is of prime interest in coding theory and has attracted a lot of attention in recent decades. However, the best possible parameters for these problems…
This paper shows that, with high probability, randomly punctured Reed-Solomon codes over fields of polynomial size achieve the list decoding capacity. More specifically, we prove that for any $\epsilon>0$ and $R\in (0,1)$, with high…
A binary code Enc$:\{0,1\}^k \to \{0,1\}^n$ is $(0.5-\epsilon,L)$-list decodable if for all $w \in \{0,1\}^n$, the set List$(w)$ of all messages $m \in \{0,1\}^k$ such that the relative Hamming distance between Enc$(m)$ and $w$ is at most…
In this work, we study the problem of list decoding of insertions and deletions. We present a Johnson-type upper bound on the maximum list size. The bound is meaningful only when insertions occur. Our bound implies that there are binary…
This paper concerns itself with the question of list decoding for general adversarial channels, e.g., bit-flip ($\textsf{XOR}$) channels, erasure channels, $\textsf{AND}$ ($Z$-) channels, $\textsf{OR}$ channels, real adder channels, noisy…
In this work we consider the list-decodability and list-recoverability of arbitrary $q$-ary codes, for all integer values of $q\geq 2$. A code is called $(p,L)_q$-list-decodable if every radius $pn$ Hamming ball contains less than $L$…
In this work, we consider the list-decodability and list-recoverability of codes in the zero-rate regime. Briefly, a code $\mathcal{C} \subseteq [q]^n$ is $(p,\ell,L)$-list-recoverable if for all tuples of input lists $(Y_1,\dots,Y_n)$ with…
In a recent breakthrough [BGM23, GZ23, AGL23], it was shown that randomly punctured Reed-Solomon codes are list decodable with optimal list size with high probability, i.e., they attain the Singleton bound for list decoding [ST20, Rot22,…
Erasure list decoding was introduced to correct a larger number of erasures with output of a list of possible candidates. In the present paper, we consider both random linear codes and algebraic geometry codes for list decoding erasure…
In this paper, we prove that with high probability, random Reed-Solomon codes approach the half-Singleton bound - the optimal rate versus error tradeoff for linear insdel codes - with linear-sized alphabets. More precisely, we prove that,…
We study the list decodability of different ensembles of codes over the real alphabet under the assumption of an omniscient adversary. It is a well-known result that when the source and the adversary have power constraints $ P $ and $ N $…
We study uniquely decodable codes and list decodable codes in the high-noise regime, specifically codes that are uniquely decodable from $\frac{1-\varepsilon}{2}$ fraction of errors and list decodable from $1-\varepsilon$ fraction of…
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…
It is well known that a random q-ary code of rate \Omega(\epsilon^2) is list decodable up to radius (1 - 1/q - \epsilon) with list sizes on the order of 1/\epsilon^2, with probability 1 - o(1). However, until recently, a similar statement…

Compared with classical block codes, efficient list decoding of rank-metric codes seems more difficult. Although the list decodability of random rank-metric codes and limits to list decodability have been completely determined, little work…
