Abstract
Reed–Solomon codes are widely used to establish a reliable channel to transmit information in digital communication which has a strong error correction capability and a variety of efficient decoding algorithm. Usually we use the maximum likelihood decoding (MLD) algorithm in the decoding process of Reed–Solomon codes. MLD algorithm relies on determining the error distance of received word. Dür, Guruswami, Wan, Li, Hong, Wu, Yue and Zhu et al. got some results on the error distance. For the Reed–Solomon code [Formula: see text], the received word [Formula: see text] is called an ordinary word of [Formula: see text] if the error distance [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] being the Lagrange interpolation polynomial of [Formula: see text]. We introduce a new method of studying the ordinary words. In fact, we make use of the result obtained by Y.C. Xu and S.F. Hong on the decomposition of certain polynomials over the finite field to determine all the ordinary words of the standard Reed–Solomon codes over the finite field of [Formula: see text] elements. This completely answers an open problem raised by Li and Wan in [On the subset sum problem over finite fields, Finite Fields Appl. 14 (2008) 911–929].
期刊介绍:
Algebra Colloquium is an international mathematical journal founded at the beginning of 1994. It is edited by the Academy of Mathematics & Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, jointly with Suzhou University, and published quarterly in English in every March, June, September and December. Algebra Colloquium carries original research articles of high level in the field of pure and applied algebra. Papers from related areas which have applications to algebra are also considered for publication. This journal aims to reflect the latest developments in algebra and promote international academic exchanges.
