文摘The complexity of decoding the standard Reed-Solomon code is a well-known open problem in coding theory.The main problem is to compute the error distance of a received word.Using the Weil bound for character sum estimate,Li and Wan showed that the error distance can be determined when the degree of the received word as a polynomial is small.In the first part,the result of Li and Wan is improved.On the other hand,one of the important parameters of an error-correcting code is the dimension.In most cases,one can only get bounds for the dimension.In the second part,a formula for the dimension of the generalized trace Reed-Solomon codes in some cases is obtained.
