Abstract :
Algorithms to decode iterated codes when at least one of the "component codes" is majority decodable are given. The decoding algorithms allow the use of the decoders of the component codes and still make it possible to correct all error patterns guaranteed to be correctable by the minimum distance of the iterated code.
