Power decoding, or "decoding using virtual interleaving" is a technique for decoding Reed--Solomon codes up to the Sudan radius. Since the method's inception, it has been an open question if it is possible to use this approach to decode up…
The GM-MDS theorem, conjectured by Dau-Song-Dong-Yuen and proved by Lovett and Yildiz-Hassibi, shows that the generator matrices of Reed-Solomon codes can attain every possible configuration of zeros for an MDS code. The recently emerging…
In this work we describe an explicit, simple, construction of large subsets of F^n, where F is a finite field, that have small intersection with every k-dimensional affine subspace. Interest in the explicit construction of such sets, termed…
We describe a new parameterized family of symmetric error-correcting codes with low-density parity-check matrices (LDPC). Our codes can be described in two seemingly different ways. First, in relation to Reed-Muller codes: our codes are…
Gabidulin codes, serving as the rank-metric counterpart of Reed-Solomon codes, constitute an important class of maximum rank distance (MRD) codes. However, unlike the fruitful positive results about the list decoding of Reed-Solomon codes,…
The Reed-Muller (RM) code encoding $n$-variate degree-$d$ polynomials over ${\mathbb F}_q$ for $d < q$, with its evaluation on ${\mathbb F}_q^n$, has relative distance $1-d/q$ and can be list decoded from a $1-O(\sqrt{d/q})$ fraction of…
In this paper, we propose a new ensemble of rateless forward error correction (FEC) codes. The proposed codes are serially concatenated codes with Reed-Solomon (RS) codes as outer codes and Kite codes as inner codes. The inner Kite codes…
We propose a new family of spatially coupled product codes, called sub-block rearranged staircase (SR-staircase) codes. Each SR-staircase code block is constructed by encoding rearranged preceding code blocks and new information blocks,…
Products of MDS codes are of major practical importance; for a recent example, they are used in Data Availability Sampling (DAS) in blockchain networks such as Celestia and as part of the Ethereum roadmap. This motivates us to consider…
Interleaved Reed-Solomon codes admit efficient decoding algorithms which correct burst errors far beyond half the minimum distance in the random errors regime, e.g., by computing a common solution to the Key Equation for each Reed-Solomon…
We present a general framework for constructing high rate error correcting codes that are locally correctable (and hence locally decodable if linear) with a sublinear number of queries, based on lifting codes with respect to functions on…
A method is described which allows to evaluate efficiently a polynomial in a (possibly trivial) extension of the finite field of its coefficients. Its complexity is shown to be lower than that of standard techniques when the degree of the…
Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are widely used in distributed storage systems. In this paper, we study the repair bandwidth and sub-packetization size of RS codes. The repair bandwidth is defined as the amount of transmitted information from…
We introduce Reed-Solomon-Gabidulin codes which is, at the same time, an extension to Reed-Solomon codes on the one hand and Gabidulin codes on the other hand. We prove that our codes have good properties with respect to the minimal…
This study addresses the use of Reed-Solomon error correction codes in QR codes to enhance resilience against failures. To fully grasp this approach, a basic cryptographic context is provided, necessary for understanding Reed-Solomon codes.…

Affine-invariant codes are codes whose coordinates form a vector space over a finite field and which are invariant under affine transformations of the coordinate space. They form a natural, well-studied class of codes; they include popular…
MDS codes play a central role in practice due to their broad applications. To date, most known MDS codes are generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, leaving codes that are not equivalent to GRS codes comparatively less understood. Studying…
