Efficient List-decoding of Polynomial Ideal Codes with Optimal List Size
CoRR(2024)
摘要
In a recent breakthrough [BGM23, GZ23, AGL23], it was shown that Reed-Solomon
codes, defined over random evaluation points, are list decodable with
optimal list size with high probability, i.e., they attain the
Singleton bound for list decoding [ST20, Rot22, GST22]. We extend this
result to a large subclass of polynomial ideal codes, which includes
several well-studied families of error-correcting codes such as Reed-Solomon
codes, folded Reed-Solomon codes, and multiplicity codes. Our results imply
that a large subclass of polynomial ideal codes with random evaluation points
over exponentially large fields achieve the Singleton bound for list-decoding
exactly; while such codes over quadratically-sized fields approximately achieve
it.
Combining this with the efficient list-decoding algorithms for polynomial
ideal codes of [BHKS21], our result implies as a corollary that a large
subclass of polynomial ideal codes (over random evaluation points) is
efficiently list decodable with optimal list size. To the best of our
knowledge, this gives the first family of codes that can be efficiently list
decoded with optimal list size (for all list sizes), as well as the first
family of linear codes of rate R that can be efficiently list decoded up
to a radius of 1 -R-ϵ with list size that is polynomial (and even
linear) in 1/ϵ. Moreover, the result applies to natural families of
codes with algebraic structure such as folded Reed-Solomon or multiplicity
codes (over random evaluation points).
Our proof follows the general framework of [BGM23, GZ23], where the main new
ingredients are a duality theorem for polynomial ideal codes, as well as
a new algebraic folded GM-MDS theorem (extending the algebraic GM-MDS
theorem of [YH19, Lov21]), which may be of independent interest.
