A locally recoverable code (LRC code) is a code over a finite alphabet such that every symbol in the encoding is a function of a small number of other symbols that form a recovering set. In this paper we derive new finite-length and…

As an important coding scheme in modern distributed storage systems, locally repairable codes (LRCs) have attracted a lot of attentions from perspectives of both practical applications and theoretical research. As a major topic in the…

We consider linear cyclic codes with the locality property, or locally recoverable codes (LRC codes). A family of LRC codes that generalizes the classical construction of Reed-Solomon codes was constructed in a recent paper by I. Tamo and…

Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are considered with equal or unequal localities, local distances and local field sizes. An explicit two-layer architecture with a sum-rank outer code is obtained, having disjoint local groups and achieving…

Constructions of optimal locally repairable codes (LRCs) in the case of $(r+1) \nmid n$ and over small finite fields were stated as open problems for LRCs in [I. Tamo \emph{et al.}, "Optimal locally repairable codes and connections to…

In this work we consider the list-decodability and list-recoverability of arbitrary $q$-ary codes, for all integer values of $q\geq 2$. A code is called $(p,L)_q$-list-decodable if every radius $pn$ Hamming ball contains less than $L$…

In this work, we consider the list-decodability and list-recoverability of codes in the zero-rate regime. Briefly, a code $\mathcal{C} \subseteq [q]^n$ is $(p,\ell,L)$-list-recoverable if for all tuples of input lists $(Y_1,\dots,Y_n)$ with…

This paper studies maximum likelihood(ML) decoding in error-correcting codes as rational maps and proposes an approximate ML decoding rule by using a Taylor expansion. The point for the Taylor expansion, which will be denoted by $p$ in the…
