Locally Decodable Codes (LDCs) are error-correcting codes $C\colon\Sigma^n\rightarrow \Sigma^m,$ encoding \emph{messages} in $\Sigma^n$ to \emph{codewords} in $\Sigma^m$, with super-fast decoding algorithms. They are important mathematical…
Folded Reed-Solomon (FRS) codes are variants of Reed-Solomon codes, known for their optimal list decoding radius. We show explicit FRS codes with rate $R$ that can be list decoded up to radius $1-R-\epsilon$ with lists of size…
List-decoding of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes beyond the so called Johnson radius has been one of the main open questions since the work of Guruswami and Sudan. It is now known by the work of Rudra and Wootters, using techniques from high…
We study the problem of universal decoding for unknown discrete memoryless channels in the presence of erasure/list option at the decoder, in the random coding regime. Specifically, we harness a universal version of Forney's classical…
Polar codes asymptotically achieve the symmetric capacity of memoryless channels, yet their error-correcting performance under successive-cancellation (SC) decoding for short and moderate length codes is worse than that of other modern…
Given a classical error-correcting block code, the task of quantum list decoding is to produce from any quantumly corrupted codeword a short list containing all messages whose codewords exhibit high "presence" in the quantumly corrupted…

We present an explicit and efficient algebraic construction of capacity-achieving list decodable codes with both constant alphabet and constant list sizes. More specifically, for any $R \in (0,1)$ and $\epsilon>0$, we give an algebraic…
Expander (Tanner) codes combine sparse graphs with local constraints, enabling linear-time decoding and asymptotically good distance--rate tradeoffs. A standard constraint-counting argument yields the global-rate lower bound $R\ge 2r-1$ for…
We present a construction of subspace codes along with an efficient algorithm for list decoding from both insertions and deletions, handling an information-theoretically maximum fraction of these with polynomially small rate. Our…
We examine an error-correcting coding framework in which each coded symbol is constrained to be a function of a fixed subset of the message symbols. With an eye toward distributed storage applications, we seek to design systematic codes…

Tree codes, introduced by Schulman, are combinatorial structures essential to coding for interactive communication. An infinite family of tree codes with both rate and distance bounded by positive constants is called asymptotically good.…
In this paper, we introduce a novel explicit family of subcodes of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes that efficiently achieve list decoding capacity with a constant output list size. Our approach builds upon the idea of large linear subcodes of RS…
Multivariate multiplicity codes (Kopparty, Saraf, and Yekhanin, J. ACM 2014) are linear codes where the codewords are described by evaluations of multivariate polynomials (with a degree bound) and their derivatives up to a fixed order, on a…
Starting from a practical use of Reed-Solomon codes in a cryptographic scheme published in Indocrypt'09, this paper deals with the threshold of linear $q$-ary error-correcting codes. The security of this scheme is based on the…
In this work, we consider efficient maximum-likelihood decoding of linear block codes for small-to-moderate block lengths. The presented approach is a branch-and-bound algorithm using the cutting-plane approach of Zhang and Siegel (IEEE…
