Abstract
A method transforms a generalized parity check matrix representing a linear block binary code. First, an input generalized parity check matrix is defined for the linear block binary code. Auxiliary sets are formed from the input generalized parity check matrix and organized into a partially ordered set. The subsets of each auxiliary set are ordered in a list, and parity check equations are constructed from the list of ordered subsets. The parity check equations are translated into an output generalized parity check matrix, which can be used to decode a message encoded according to the linear block binary code.
