Abstract
A locally recoverable (LRC) code is a code over a finite field such that any erased coordinate of a codeword can be recovered from a small number of other coordinates in that codeword. We construct LRC codes correcting more than one erasure, which are subfield-subcodes of some -affine variety codes. For these LRC codes, we compute localities that determine the minimum size of a set of positions so that any erasures in can be recovered from the remaining coordinates in this set. We also show that some of these LRC codes with lengths are -optimal.
