Comparison of Two Algorithms for Decoding Alternant Codes.

We compare the key equation solving algorithm introduced by Fitzpatrick to the Berlekamp-Massey algorithm. Our main result is that the two algorithms have the same computational complexity. It follows that in practice Fitzpatricks algorithm improves on Berlekamp-Massey since it uses less storage and...
