We give a linear-time erasure list-decoding algorithm for expander codes. More precisely, let r > 0 be any integer. Given an inner code ${\mathcal{C}_0}$ of length d, and a d-regular bipartite expander graph G with n vertices on each side, we give an algorithm to list-decode the expander code $\mathcal{C} = \mathcal{C}\left( {G,{\mathcal{C}_0}} \right)$ of length nd from approximately δδrnd erasures in time n•poly(d2r/δ), where δ and δr are the relative distance and the r’th•generalized relative distance of ${\mathcal{C}_0}$, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first linear-time algorithm that can list-decode expander codes from erasures beyond their (designed) distance of approximately δ2nd.To obtain our results, we show that an approach similar to that of (Hemenway and Wootters, Information and Computation, 2018) can be used to obtain such an erasure-list-decoding algorithm with an exponentially worse dependence of the running time on r and δ; then we show how to improve the dependence of the running time on these parameters.
