  • Abstract
    Using continued fractions, a simplified algorithm for decoding B.C.H. and R.S. codes is developed that corrects both erasures and errors on a finite field GF(qm). The decoding method is a modification of the Forney-Belekamp technique. It is believed that the present scheme is both simpler to understand and to implement than more conventional algorithms.
