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…

The root finding step of the Guruswami-Rudra list decoding algorithm for folded Reed-Solomon codes is considered. It is shown that a multivariate generalization of the Roth-Ruckenstein algorithm can be used to implement it. This leads to an…

In this article we prove Griesmer type bounds for additive codes over finite fields. These new bounds give upper bounds on the length of maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, codes which attain the Singleton bound. We will also consider…

This paper provides new and improved Singleton-like bounds for Lee metric codes over integer residue rings. We derive the bounds using various novel definitions of generalized Lee weights based on different notions of a support of a linear…

It's well-known that maximum distance separable codes (in short, MDS) and linear complementary dual (in short, LCD) codes are very important in coding theory and practice. In 2023, Yue et al. [25] constructed three classes of LCD MDS codes…

Generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) and Gabidulin codes have been proposed for various code-based cryptosystems, though most such schemes without elaborate disguising techniques have been successfully attacked. Both code classes are prominent…

We construct maximally recoverable codes (corresponding to partial MDS codes) which are based on linearized Reed-Solomon codes. The new codes have a smaller field size requirement compared with known constructions. For certain asymptotic…

We derive Singleton-type bounds on the free distance and column distances of trellis codes. Our results show that, at a given time instant, the maximum attainable column distance of trellis codes can exceed that of convolutional codes.…

In this paper, we establish the list-decoding capacity theorem for sum-rank metric codes. This theorem implies the list-decodability theorem for random general sum-rank metric codes: Any random general sum-rank metric code with a rate not…

We construct the first asymptotically good relaxed locally correctable codes with polylogarithmic query complexity, bringing the upper bound polynomially close to the lower bound of Gur and Lachish (SICOMP 2021). Our result follows from…

We give a new construction of algebraic codes which are efficiently list decodable from a fraction $1-R-\eps$ of adversarial errors where $R$ is the rate of the code, for any desired positive constant $\eps$. The worst-case list size output…

The repair bandwidth of a code is the minimum amount of data required to repair one or several failed nodes (erasures). For MDS codes, the repair bandwidth is bounded below by the so-called cut-set bound, and codes that meet this bound with…

The repair problem in distributed storage addresses recovery of the data encoded using an erasure code, for instance, a Reed-Solomon (RS) code. We consider the problem of repairing a single node or multiple nodes in RS-coded storage systems…

Locally repairable codes enables fast repair of node failure in a distributed storage system. The code symbols in a codeword are stored in different storage nodes, such that a disk failure can be recovered by accessing a small fraction of…
