Description
A binary linear code \(C\) of length \(n\) that is a \((u,R)\)-LTC with query complexity \(u\) and soundness \(R>0\).
More technically, the code is a \((u,R)\)-LTC if the rows of its parity-check matrix \(H\in GF(2)^{r\times n}\) have weight at most \(u\) and if \begin{align} \frac{1}{r}|H x| \geq \frac{R}{n} D(x,C) \tag*{(1)}\end{align} holds for any bitstring \(x\), where \(D(x,C)\) is the Hamming distance between \(x\) and the closest codeword to \(x\) [1; Def. 11].

- Hadamard code — The Hadamard code is the first code to be identified as a (three-query) LTC [2,3].
- Ben-Sasson-Goldreich-Harsha-Sudan-Vadhan (BGHSV) code
- Ben-Sasson-Sudan-Vadhan-Wigderson (BSVW) code
- Dinur code
- Goldreich-Sudan code — Goldreich-Sudan codes resulted from what is often referred to as the first systematic study of LTCs.
- Kopparty-Meir-Ron-Zewi-Saraf (KMRS) code
- Long code
- Left-right Cayley complex code — Left-right Cayley complex codes yield one of the first two families of \(c^3\)-LTCs.
Cousins
- Linear binary code — Linear binary codes with distances \(\frac{1}{2}n-\sqrt{t n}\) for some \(t\) are called almost-orthogonal and are locally testable with query complexity of order \(O(t)\) [4]. This was later improved to codes with distance \(\frac{1}{2}n-O(n^{1-\gamma})\) for any positive \(\gamma\) [5], provided that the number of codewords is polynomial in \(n\).
- Cyclic linear binary code — Cyclic linear codes cannot be \(c^3\)-LTCs [6]. Codeword symmetries are in general an obstruction to achieving such LTCs [7].
- Reed-Muller (RM) code — RM codes can be LTCs in the low- [8,9] and high-error [10] regimes; see also [11].
