contents In this paper, we introduce a novel rate-profile design based on search-constrained optimization techniques to assess the performance of polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) codes under Fano (sequential) decoding. The results demonstrate that the resulting PAC code offers much reduced computational complexity compared to a construction based on a conventional genetic algorithm without a performance loss in error-correction performance. As the fitness function of our algorithm, we propose an adaptive successive cancellation list decoding algorithm to determine the weight distribution of the rate profiles. The simulation results indicate that, for a PAC(256, 128) code, only 8% of the population requires that their fitness function be evaluated with a large list size. This represents an improvement of almost 92% over a conventional evolutionary algorithm. For a PAC(64, 32) code, this improvement is about 99%. We also plotted the performance of the high-rate PAC(128, 105) and PAC(64, 51) codes, and the results show that they exhibit superior performance compared to other algorithms.
