Groebner Basis: A Bridge between Coding Theory and Computer Algebra

Shojiro Sakata

Date: July 17th (Wednesday)
Time: 16:20-17:00
Abstract
In this talk we give a survey of
  1. when the concept of Groebner basis has been introduced into the world of coding theory;
  2. how the concept of Groebner basis has been applied to construction and decoding of error-correcting codes,
and discuss some important roles of Groebner basis in recent development of coding theory. It is emphasized that Buchberger's algorithm and its relatives take their parts just at the point of contact of coding theory with system theory and that Groebner basis is a key not only to full decoding of the most frequently used error-correcting codes such as Reed-Solomon and Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem codes but also to construction and efficient decoding method of the next generation of error-correcting codes called algebraic-geometry codes.
