  • Abstract
    MEMBER, IEEE, AND HENK C. A. V~ TILBORG The fact that the general decoding problem for linear codes and the general problem of finding the weights of a linear code are both NP-complete is shown. This strongly suggests, but does not rigorously imply, that no algorithm for either of these problems which runs in polynomial time exists.
