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…
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,…
In this work, we define Generalized Monomial Cartesian Codes (GMCC), which constitute a natural extension of generalized Reed-Solomon codes. We describe how two different generalized Reed-Solomon codes can be combined to construct one GMCC.…

Let $q=p^m$ be a prime power, $e$ be an integer with $0\leq e\leq m-1$ and $s=\gcd(e,m)$. In this paper, for a vector $v$ and a $q$-ary linear code $C$, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalent code $vC$ of $C$…
This paper studies the parameters for which Reed-Muller (RM) codes over $GF(2)$ can correct random erasures and random errors with high probability, and in particular when can they achieve capacity for these two classical channels.…

Let $f$ be a polynomial of degree $d$ in $n$ variables over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. The polynomial is said to be unbiased if the distribution of $f(x)$ for a uniform input $x \in \mathbb{F}^n$ is close to the uniform distribution over…
