Abstract

This paper presents a Patterson-style list-decoding algorithm for classical irreducible binary Goppa codes. The algorithm corrects, in polynomial time, approximately n-√n(n - 2t - 2) errors in a length-n classical irreducible degree-t binary Goppa code. Compared to the best previous polynomial-time list-decoding algorithms for the same codes, the new algorithm corrects approximately t2/2n extra errors.
