✦ Synopsis


We study trellises of Reed}Muller codes from "rst principles. Our approach to local trellis behaviour seems to be new and yields amongst other things another proof of a result of Berger and Be'ery on the state complexity of Reed}Muller codes. We give a general form of a minimal-span generator matrix for the family of Reed}Muller codes with their standard bit-order. We apply this to determining the number of parallel subtrellises in any uniform sectionalisation of a Reed}Muller code and to designing trellises for Reed}Muller codes with more parallel subtrellises than the minimal trellis, but with the same state complexity.

We present lower and upper bounds on the covering radius of Reed-Muller codes, yielding asymptotical improvements on known results. The lower bound is simply the sphere covering one (not very new). The upper bound is derived from a thorough use of a lemma, the 'essence of Reed-Mullerity'. The idea

It is well-known that Reed-Solomon codes may be used to provide error correction for multiple failures in RAID-like systems. The coding technique itself, however, is not as well-known. To the coding theorist, this technique is a straightforward extension to a basic coding paradigm and needs no speci
