Abstract
A decoding algorithm for algebraic geometric codes that was given by A.N. Skorobogatov and S.G. Vladut (preprint, Inst. Problems of Information Transmission, 1988) is considered. The author gives a modified algorithm, with improved performance, which he obtains by applying the above algorithm a number of times in parallel. He proves the existence of the decoding algorithm on maximal curves by showing the existence of certain divisors. However, he has so far been unable to give an efficient procedure of finding these divisors. >

Decoding algebraic-geometric codes up to the designed minimum distance

TL;DR: This decoding procedure is a generalization of Peterson's decoding procedure for the BCH codes and can be used to correct any ((d*-1)/2) or fewer errors with complexity O(n/sup 3/), where d* is the designed minimum distance of the algebraic-geometric code and n is the codelength.
