We prove a list recovery guarantee for random low-rate linear codes over sufficiently large prime fields. For fixed dimension $d$, error fraction $\alpha$, and accuracy parameter $\varepsilon$, a random $d$-dimensional linear code $C…

The hull of a linear code is defined to be the intersection of the code and its dual. When the size of the hull is small, it has been proved that some algorithms for checking permutation equivalence of two linear codes and computing the…

This paper presents a saddlepoint approximation of the random-coding union bound of Polyanskiy et al. for i.i.d. random coding over discrete memoryless channels. The approximation is single-letter, and can thus be computed efficiently.…

We speed up existing decoding algorithms for three code classes in different metrics: interleaved Gabidulin codes in the rank metric, lifted interleaved Gabidulin codes in the subspace metric, and linearized Reed-Solomon codes in the…

A scheme for concatenating the recently invented polar codes with non-binary MDS codes, as Reed-Solomon codes, is considered. By concatenating binary polar codes with interleaved Reed-Solomon codes, we prove that the proposed concatenation…

Recursive list decoding is considered for Reed-Muller (RM) codes. The algorithm repeatedly relegates itself to the shorter RM codes by recalculating the posterior probabilities of their symbols. Intermediate decodings are only performed…

Identification is a communication paradigm that promises exponential advantages over transmission for applications that do not actually require all messages to be reliably transmitted. Notably, the identification capacity theorems prove…

We study Reed--Solomon codes over arbitrary fields, inspired by several recent papers dealing with Gabidulin codes over fields of characteristic zero. Over the field of rational numbers, we derive bounds on the coefficient growth during…

We use class field theory, specifically Drinfeld modules of rank 1, to construct a family of asymptotically good algebraic-geometric (AG) codes over fixed alphabets. Over a field of size $\ell^2$, these codes are within $2/(\sqrt{\ell}-1)$…

In this paper, we extend the work of (Abbondati et al., 2024) on decoding simultaneous rational number codes by addressing two important scenarios: multiplicities and the presence of bad primes (divisors of denominators). First, we…

So far, there is no polynomial-time list decoding algorithm (beyond half the minimum distance) for Gabidulin codes. These codes can be seen as the rank-metric equivalent of Reed--Solomon codes. In this paper, we provide bounds on the list…

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,…
