    Abstract

    This paper presents a Patterson-style list-decoding algorithm for classical irreducible binary Goppa codes. The algorithm corrects, in polynomial time, approximately $n - \sqrt{n(n-2t-2)}$ errors in a length-n classical irreducible degree-t binary Goppa code. Compared to the best previous polynomial-time list-decoding algorithms for the same codes, the new algorithm corrects approximately $t^2/2n$ extra errors.
