Abstract
A two-step sub-optimal algorithm for decoding binary product codes is discussed. This algorithm realizes at least half the minimum Euclidean distance of the code. The fundamental geometric properties associated with the algorithm are investigated, and bounds on the number of nearest neighbors are derived. This investigation also results with an improved algorithm which achieves the minimum effective error coefficient, the number of minimum-weight codewords in the product code.
