Abstract

In this paper we will survey some of the most recent results on low-density parity-check codes. Our emphasis will be primarily on the asymptotic theory of these codes. For the most part, we will introduce the main concepts for the easier case of the erasure channel. We will also give an application of these methods to reliable content delivery.
