The solution of a general block tridiagonal linear system by a cyclic odd-even reduction algorithm is considered. Under conditions of diagonal dominance, norms describing the off-diagonal blocks ...

Cyclic and constacyclic codes form a pivotal class of linear error‐correcting codes that are defined over finite fields. Their algebraic structure, characterised by ideals in polynomial quotient rings ...

test and verify the Reed-Solomon codec. Each of these steps is important, and missing one results in developing hardware that does not work the first time and must be re-created. For example, it is ...
