In computer science, particularly in coding theory, list decoding is an alternative to unique decoding of error correcting codes for large error rates. The notion was proposed by Elias in the 1950's. The main idea behind list decoding is that the decoding algorithm instead of outputting a single possible message outputs a list of possibilities one of which is correct. This allows for handling a greater number of errors than that allowed by unique decoding.
