Lower bounds and correctness results for locally decodable codes

We study fundamental properties of Locally Decodable Codes (LDCs). LDCs are motivated by the intuition that traditional codes do not have a good tradeoff between resistance to arbitrary error and probe complexity. For example, if you apply a traditional code on a database, the resulting codeword ca...
