Abstract :
Two error-erasure decoding algorithms for product codes that correct all the error-erasure patterns guaranteed correctable by the minimum Hamming distance of the product code are given. The first algorithm works when at least one of the component codes is majority-logic decodable. The second algorithm works for any product code. Both algorithms use the decoders of the component codes.
