The decoding error probability of codes is studied as a function of their block length. It is shown that the existence of codes with a polynomially small decoding error probability implies the existence of codes with an exponentially small…

Lifted codes are a class of evaluation codes attracting more attention due to good locality and intermediate availability. In this work we introduce and study quadratic-curve-lifted Reed-Solomon (QC-LRS) codes, where the codeword symbols…

A family of error-correcting codes is list-decodable from error fraction $p$ if, for every code in the family, the number of codewords in any Hamming ball of fractional radius $p$ is less than some integer $L$ that is independent of the…
