A list decoding algorithm is presented for the family of generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, capable of correcting a number of errors greater than half the minimum distance d of the code. Based on a previous work of Sudan (see J. Compl., vol.13, p.180-93, 1997), an extended key equation is derived for GRS codes, which is reduced to the classical key equation when the number of errors is limited to [(d-1)/2]. Using a technique due to Feng and Tzeng (1991), an algorithm is obtained for solving the extended key equation in time complexity quadratic in d. For comparison, the time complexity of the respective part in Sudan's algorithm is cubic in the code length.
