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…

Reed--Solomon codes are a well--studied code class which fulfill the Singleton bound with equality. However, their length is limited to the size $q$ of the underlying field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper we present a code construction which…

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 show that polynomial codes (and some related codes) used for distributed matrix multiplication are interleaved Reed-Solomon codes and, hence, can be collaboratively decoded. We consider a fault tolerant setup where $t$ worker nodes…

In modern practical data centers, storage nodes are usually organized into equally sized groups, which is called racks. The cost of cross-rack communication is much more expensive compared with the intra-rack communication cost. The codes…

A collection of sets satisfies a $(\delta,\varepsilon)$-proximity gap with respect to some property if for every set in the collection, either (i) all members of the set are $\delta$-close to the property in (relative) Hamming distance, or…
