Unique Decoding of Reed-Solomon and Related Codes for Semi-Adversarial Errors

Joshua Brakensiek, Yeyuan Chen, Manik Dhar +1

Motivated by recent developments in coding theory, particular in list-decoding, we introduce a new error model which we call semi-adversarial errors. This error model bridges betwe…

From Random to Explicit via Subspace Designs With Applications to Local Properties and Matroids

Joshua Brakensiek, Yeyuan Chen, Manik Dhar +1

In coding theory, a common question is to understand the threshold rates of various local properties of codes, such as their list decodability and list recoverability. A recent wor…

Combinatorial Bounds for List Recovery via Discrete Brascamp--Lieb Inequalities

Joshua Brakensiek, Yeyuan Chen, Manik Dhar +1

In coding theory, the problem of list recovery asks one to find all codewords of a given code which such that at least fraction of the symbols of lie in some pre…

Randomly Punctured Reed-Solomon Codes Achieve the List Decoding Capacity over Polynomial-Size Alphabets

Zeyu Guo, Zihan Zhang

This paper shows that, with high probability, randomly punctured Reed-Solomon codes over fields of polynomial size achieve the list decoding capacity. More specifically, we prove t…

Random Reed-Solomon Codes Achieve List-Decoding Capacity With Linear-Sized Alphabets

Omar Alrabiah, Zeyu Guo, Venkatesan Guruswami +2

Reed-Solomon codes are a classic family of error-correcting codes consisting of evaluations of low-degree polynomials over a finite field on some sequence of distinct field element…

AG Codes Achieve List-decoding Capacity over Constant-sized Fields

Joshua Brakensiek, Manik Dhar, Sivakanth Gopi +1

The recently-emerging field of higher order MDS codes has sought to unify a number of concepts in coding theory. Such areas captured by higher order MDS codes include maximally rec…
