We give a method to construct Locally Recoverable Error-Correcting codes. This method is based on the use of rational maps between affine spaces. The recovery of erasures is carried out by Lagrangian interpolation in general and simply by…
Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have significantly improved automated code generation. While existing approaches have achieved strong performance at the function and file levels, real-world software engineering requires…
We construct the first (locally computable, approximately) locally list decodable codes with rate, efficiency, and error tolerance approaching the information theoretic limit, a core regime of interest for the complexity theoretic task of…
In the torn paper channel, a transmitted codeword is broken at random locations into fragments that arrive at the decoder in an unordered manner. A central theoretical challenge within this model is global alignment -- the task of…
We define a class of automorphisms of rational function fields of finite characteristic and employ these to construct different types of optimal linear rank-metric codes. The first construction is of generalized Gabidulin codes over…
This work focuses on sequential locally recoverable codes (SLRCs), a special family of locally repairable codes, capable of correcting multiple code symbol erasures, which are commonly used for distributed storage systems. First, we…
Recently, it was discovered by several authors that a $q$-ary optimal locally recoverable code, i.e., a locally recoverable code archiving the Singleton-type bound, can have length much bigger than $q+1$. This is quite different from the…
In error-correcting codes, locality refers to several different ways of quantifying how easily a small amount of information can be recovered from encoded data. In this work, we study a notion of locality called the s-Disjoint-Repair-Group…
We present a new combinatorial characterization for local optimality of a codeword in an irregular Tanner code. The main novelty in this characterization is that it is based on a linear combination of subtrees in the computation trees.…
Geometrically local quantum codes, comprised of qubits and checks embedded in $\mathbb{R}^D$ with local check operators, have been a subject of significant interest. A key challenge is identifying the optimal code construction that…
The explosion in the volumes of data being stored online has resulted in distributed storage systems transitioning to erasure coding based schemes. Yet, the codes being deployed in practice are fairly short. In this work, we address what we…
We extend coded distributed computing over finite fields to allow the number of workers to be larger than the field size. We give codes that work for fully general matrix multiplication and show that in this case we serendipitously have…
A $k$-query locally decodable code (LDC) $C$ allows one to encode any $n$-symbol message $x$ as a codeword $C(x)$ of $N$ symbols such that each symbol of $x$ can be recovered by looking at $k$ symbols of $C(x)$, even if a constant fraction…
By a locally recoverable code (LRC), we will in this paper, mean a linear code in which a given code symbol can be recovered by taking a linear combination of at most $r$ other code symbols with $r << k$. A natural extension is to the local…
We provide detailed local descriptions of stable polynomials in terms of their homogeneous decompositions, Puiseux expansions, and transfer function realizations. We use this theory to first prove that bounded rational functions on the…
Modern distributed computation infrastructures are often plagued by unavailabilities such as failing or slow servers. These unavailabilities adversely affect the tail latency of computation in distributed infrastructures. The simple…
Locally repairable codes are widely applicable in contemporary large-scale distributed cloud storage systems and various other areas. By making use of some algebraic structures of elliptic curves, Li et al. developed a series of $q$-ary…
In a {\em locally recoverable} or {\em repairable} code, any symbol of a codeword can be recovered by reading only a small (constant) number of other symbols. The notion of local recoverability is important in the area of distributed…
In this work, we give the first construction of high-rate locally list-recoverable codes. List-recovery has been an extremely useful building block in coding theory, and our motivation is to use these codes as such a building block. In…
A rational function $f(x)$ is rationally summable if there exists a rational function $g(x)$ such that $f(x)=g(x+1)-g(x)$. Detecting whether a given rational function is summable is an important and basic computational subproblem that…
