Decoding Reed-Solomon codes up to the Sudan radius with the Euclidean algorithm

We modify the Euclidean algorithm of Feng and Tzeng to decode Reed-Solomon (RS) codes up to the Sudan radius. The basic steps are the virtual extension to an Interleaved RS code and the reformulation of the multi-sequence shift-register problem of varying length to a multi-sequence problem of equal length. We prove the reformulation and analyze the complexity of our new decoding approach. Furthermore, the extended key equation, that describes the multi-sequence problem, is derived in an alternative polynomial way.
