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 propose new repair schemes for Reed-Solomon codes that use subspace polynomials and hence generalize previous works in the literature that employ trace polynomials. The Reed-Solomon codes are over $\mathbb{F}_{q^\ell}$ and have…

This paper studies the parameters for which Reed-Muller (RM) codes over $GF(2)$ can correct random erasures and random errors with high probability, and in particular when can they achieve capacity for these two classical channels.…

In this article, we present a new construction of evaluation codes in the Hamming metric, which we call twisted Reed-Solomon codes. Whereas Reed-Solomon (RS) codes are MDS codes, this need not be the case for twisted RS codes. Nonetheless,…
