About this title

Synopsis

This book concerns state-of-the-art coding and decoding methods. Research reviewed in the book include Berlekamp's algorithm for factoring polynomials (the first significant improvement on a classical mathematical problem in almost two centuries), and Berlekamp's algorithm for decoding Bose- Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem and Reed-Solomon codes. For the past 15 years, this coding algorithm has been used universally in algebraic decoders that correct multiple errors in communications or computer memory systems. Chapters Basic Binary Codes; Arithmetic Operations Modulo an Irreducible Binary Polynomial; The Number of Irreducible q-ary Polynomials of Given Degree; The Factorization of Polynomials Over Finite Fields; The Enumeration of Information Symbols in BCH Codes; appendices and references.
