Sparse and Balanced MDS Codes Over Small Fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes with a sparse and balanced generator matrix are appealing in distributed storage systems for balancing and minimizing the computational load. Such codes have been constructed via Reed-Solomon codes over large fields. In this paper, we focus on small fields. We prove that there exists an [n,k]q MDS code that has a sparse and balanced generator matrix for any qgeqn provided that nleq2k, by designing several algorithms with complexity running in polynomial time in k and n.
