「Algebraic ECCs」: Lec3 GV Bound and q-ARY Entropy

In this series, I will be learning Algebraic Error Correcting Codes, lectured by Mary Wootters. The lecture videos are available here. Feedback and sugguestions are always welcome! ^ - ^

Topics Covered:

• The GV Bound:
• Efficiency and Maximum-Likelihood Decoding
• Application: McEliece Cryptosystem
• Off to Asymptopia
  • Family of Codes
  • q-ary Entropy
  • Trade-off Between Rate and Distance
