The classical family of Reed-Solomon codes consist of evaluations of polynomials over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of degree less than $k$, at $n$ distinct field elements. These are arguably the most widely used and studied codes, as…
In the article ''On the (Non) NP-Hardness of Computing Circuit Complexity'', Murray and Williams imply the PARTITION decision problem is not known to be NP-hard via $2^{n^{o(1)}}$-size AC0 reductions. In this note, we show PARTITION is…
Gibbons and Korach studied a fundamental problem in 1997: given an observed sequence of reads and writes of a multi-threaded program, does there exist an interleaving which is sequentially consistent? Apart from applications in testing…
A large class of MDS linear codes is constructed. These codes are endowed with an efficient decoding algorithm. Both the definition of the codes and the design of their decoding algorithm only require from Linear Algebra methods, making…
This paper deals with the computational complexity of conditions which guarantee that the NP-hard problem of finding the sparsest solution to an underdetermined linear system can be solved by efficient algorithms. In the literature, several…
We define a virtual projection of a Reed-Solomon code $RS(q^{l},n,k)$ to an $RS(q,n,k)$ Reed-Solomon code. A new probabilistic decoding algorithm that can be used to perform fractional decoding beyond the $\alpha$- decoding radius is…
In this paper we show how to attain the capacity of discrete symmetric channels with polynomial time decoding complexity by considering iterated $(U|U+V)$ constructions with Reed-Solomon code or algebraic geometry code components. These…
There has been a rise in decoding quantum error correction codes with neural network based decoders, due to the good decoding performance achieved and adaptability to any noise model. However, the main challenge is scalability to larger…
In a seminal work, Gibbons and Korach studied the complexity of deciding whether an observed sequence of reads and writes of a multi-threaded program admits a sequentially consistent interleaving. They showed the problem to be NP-hard even…
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…
Reed-Muller codes are some of the oldest and most widely studied error-correcting codes, of interest for both their algebraic structure as well as their many algorithmic properties. A recent beautiful result of Saptharishi, Shpilka and Volk…
Theoretical complexity is a vital subfield of computer science that enables us to mathematically investigate computation and answer many interesting queries about the nature of computational problems. It provides theoretical tools to assess…
We propose a new partial decoding algorithm for $h$-interleaved one-point Hermitian codes that can decode-under certain assumptions-an error of relative weight up to $1-(\tfrac{k+g}{n})^{\frac{h}{h+1}}$, where $k$ is the dimension, $n$ the…
We show that computing the interleaving distance between two multi-graded persistence modules is NP-hard. More precisely, we show that deciding whether two modules are $1$-interleaved is NP-complete, already for bigraded, interval…
We show that Reed-Solomon codes of dimension $k$ and block length $n$ over any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ can be deterministically list decoded from agreement $\sqrt{(k-1)n}$ in time $\text{poly}(n, \log |\mathbb{F}|)$. Prior to this work,…
Given a classical error-correcting block code, the task of quantum list decoding is to produce from any quantumly corrupted codeword a short list containing all messages whose codewords exhibit high "presence" in the quantumly corrupted…
List-decodability of Reed-Solomon codes has received a lot of attention, but the best-possible dependence between the parameters is still not well-understood. In this work, we focus on the case where the list-decoding radius is of the form…
Various real-world problems consist of partitioning a set of locations into disjoint subsets, each subset spread in a way that it covers the whole set with a certain radius. Given a finite set S, a metric d, and a radius r, define a subset…
We prove that certain problems naturally arising in knot theory are NP--hard or NP--complete. These are the problems of obtaining one diagram from another one of a link in a bounded number of Reidemeister moves, determining whether a link…
Algebraic decoding algorithms are commonly applied for the decoding of Reed-Solomon codes. Their main advantages are low computational complexity and predictable decoding capabilities. Many algorithms can be extended for correction of both…
