Recently, a variant of the Reed-Muller family, called symmetric Reed-Muller codes, was proposed. In this paper, we prove that multivariable symmetric Reed-Muller codes form a class of locally-correctable codes. Then, the dual codes of symmetric Reed-Muller codes are given.
In this paper, we show that the projective Reed-Muller~(PRM) codes form a family of locally correctable codes~(LCC) in the regime of low query complexities. A PRM code is specified by the alphabet size q, the number of variables m, and the degree d. When d≤q−1, we present a perfectly smooth local decoder to recover a symbol by accessing γ≤q symbols to the coordinates fall on a line. There are three major parameters considered in LCCs, namely the query complexity, the message length and the code length. This paper shows that PRM codes are shorter than generalized Reed-Muller~(GRM) codes in LCCs. Precisely, given a GRM code over a field of size q, there exists a class of shorter codes over a field of size q−1, while maintaining the same values on the query complexities and the message lengths.
Reed-Muller (RM) codes, a classical family of codes known for their elegant algebraic structure, have recently been shown to achieve capacity under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding on the binary erasure channel and this has rekindled interest in their efficient decoding. We consider the code family RM(m-3,m) and develop a new ML decoder, for transmission over the binary symmetric channel, that exploits their large symmetry group. The new decoder has lower complexity than an earlier method introduced by Seroussi and Lempel in 1983.
In this thesis, we start from the theory of classical error-correcting codes. We also introduce classical Reed-Muller codes along with its properties. We discuss the encoding and decoding methods for classical Reed-Muller codes using the majority rule. Then we turn to the topic of quantum error-correcting codes.We talk about stabilizer codes and discuss how classical Reed-Muller codes can be transformed into quantum Reed-Muller codes using Steane's method. Finally, we give a construction of a quantum code with parameter [[8,3,3]], and discuss its encoding and decoding process.
In this paper, by treating Reed-Muller (RM) codes as a special class of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and assuming that sub-blocks of the parity-check matrix are randomly interleaved to each other as Gallager's codes, we present a short proof that RM codes are entropy-achieving as source coding for Bernoulli sources and capacity-achieving as channel coding for binary memoryless symmetric (BMS) channels, also known as memoryless binary-input output-symmetric (BIOS) channels, in terms of bit error rate (BER) under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding.
