    Abstract

    We investigate the performance of Gallager type error- correcting codes for Binary Symmetric Channels, where the code word comprises products of K bits selected from the original message and decoding is carried out utilizing a connectivity tensor with C connections per index. Shannon's bound for the channel capacity is recovered for large K and zero temperature when the code rate K/C is finite. Close to optimal error-correcting capability, with improved decoding properties is obtained for finite K and C.
