This article gives new fast methods for decoding certain errorcorrecting codes by solving certain algebraic equations. As described by Peterson (1961), the locations of a Bose-Chaudhuri Hocquenghem code over a field of characteristic p are associated with the elements of an extension field, GF(pk). The code is designed in such a way that the weighted power-sum symmetric functions of the error locations can be obtained directly by computing appropriately chosen parity checks on the received word. Good methods for computing the elementary symmetric functions from the weighted power-sum symmetric functions have been presented by Berlekamp (1967). The elementary symmetric functions, a l , a2, .. , at are the coefficients of an algebraic equation whose roots are the error locations
