This question has been investigated extensively starting with the seminal works of Shannon (1948) and Hamming (1950), and has led to the rich theory of “error-correcting codes”. This theory has traditionally gone hand in hand with the algorithmic theory of “decoding” that tackles the problem of recovering from the errors e?ciently. This thesis presents some spectacular new results in the area of decoding algorithms for error-correctingcodes. Speci?cally,itshowshowthenotionof“list-decoding” can be applied to recover from far more errors, for a wide variety of err- correcting codes, than achievable before. A brief bit of background: error-correcting codes are combinatorial str- tures that show how to represent (or “encode”) information so that it is - silient to a moderate number of errors. Speci?cally, an error-correcting code takes a short binary string, called the message, and shows how to transform it into a longer binary string, called the codeword, so that if a small number of bits of the codewordare ?ipped, the resulting string does not look like any other codeword. The maximum number of errorsthat the code is guaranteed to detect, denoted d, is a central parameter in its design. A basic property of such a code is that if the number of errors that occur is known to be smaller than d/2, the message is determined uniquely. This poses a computational problem,calledthedecodingproblem:computethemessagefromacorrupted codeword, when the number of errors is less than d/2.Lecture Notes in Computer Science,0302-9743 ;3282Data structures (Computer science)Coding theoryInformation theoryAlgorithmsComputersComputer science—MathematicsData Structures and Information Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I15009Coding and Information Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I15041Algorithm Analysis and Problem Complexityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16021Models and Principleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18016Discrete Mathematics in Computer Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I17028Algorithmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14018Data structures (Computer science).Coding theory.Information theory.Algorithms.Computers.Computer science—Mathematics.Data Structures and Information Theory.Coding and Information Theory.Algorithm Analysis and Problem Complexity.Models and Principles.Discrete Mathematics in Computer Science.Algorithms.005.7/254.10bclGuruswami Venkatesanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut508816BOOK996466073403316List Decoding of Error-Correcting Codes771937UNISA02079oam 2200505 a 450 991069029620332120110208065611.0(CKB)5470000002336316ocm35515310(OCoLC)35515310(OCoLC)37524756(EXLCZ)99547000000233631619960911d1996 ua 0engtxtrdacontentnrdamediancrdacarrierForeign science and technology information sources in the federal government and select private sector organizations /sponsored by the Department of Commerce, International Technology Policy, Technology Administration, and the Department of State, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, Office of Science Technology and Health, Technological Competitiveness DivisionWashington, DC :U.S. Dept. of Commerce, Office of Technology Policy,[1996]xii, 228, xiv pages ;28 cm"July 1996."Shipping list no.: 1996-0351-P.TechnologyInformation servicesDirectoriesScienceInformation servicesDirectoriesInformation servicesUnited StatesDirectoriesGovernment informationUnited StatesDirectoriesTechnologyInformation servicesScienceInformation servicesInformation servicesGovernment informationUnited States.Department of Commerce.Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy.United States.Department of State.Technological Competitiveness Division.DGPODLCGPOCUMGZMAGLWNCBTCTAVVWGPOBOOK9910690296203321Foreign science and technology information sources in the federal government and select private sector organizations3174217UNINA
