Abstract

We revisit the construction of high noise, almost optimal rate list decodable code of Guruswami, Guruswami showed that if one can explicitly construct optimal extractors then one can build an explicit (1 - ε,O(1/ε)) list decodable codes of rate Ω(ε/log1/ε) and alphabet size 2O(1/ε·log1/ε). We show that if one replaces the expander component in the construction with an unbalanced disperser, then one can dramatically improve the alphabet size to 2 O(1/εlog2 1/ε) while keeping all other parameters the same.
