arXiv:1201.6397 · doi:10.3934/amc.2012.6.259
Abstract
A list decoding algorithm for matrix-product codes is provided when are nested linear codes and is a non-singular by columns matrix. We estimate the probability of getting more than one codeword as output when the constituent codes are Reed-Solomon codes. We extend this list decoding algorithm for matrix-product codes with polynomial units, which are quasi-cyclic codes. Furthermore, it allows us to consider unique decoding for matrix-product codes with polynomial units.
