Abstract
The previous chapters presented the elementary laws of encoding like BCH, Reed-Solomon or CRSC codes. Most of these elementary codes are asymptotically good, in the sense that their minimum Hamming distances (MHD) can be made as large as we want, by sufficiently increasing the degree of the generator polynomials. The complexity of the decoders is unfortunately unacceptable for the degrees of polynomials that would guarantee the MHD required by practical applications.
