One of the most important and challenging problems in coding theory is to construct codes with best possible parameters and properties. The class of quasi-cyclic (QC) codes is known to be fertile to produce such codes. Focusing on QC codes…
A known Kronecker construction of completely regular codes has been investigated taking different alphabets in the component codes. This approach is also connected with lifting constructions of completely regular codes. We obtain several…
The study of optical orthogonal codes has been motivated by an application in an optical code-division multiple access system. This paper focuses on optimal two-dimensional optical orthogonal codes with autocorrelation and cross-correlation…
The dual of the Kasami code of length $q^2-1$, with $q$ a power of $2$, is constructed by concatenating a cyclic MDS code of length $q+1$ over $F_q$ with a Simplex code of length $q-1$. This yields a new derivation of the weight…
We consider $q$-ary (linear and nonlinear) block codes with exactly two distances: $d$ and $d+\delta$. Several combinatorial constructions of optimal such codes are given. In the linear (but not necessary projective) case, we prove that…
Asymmetric quantum error-correcting codes (AQCs) may offer some advantage over their symmetric counterparts by providing better error-correction for the more frequent error types. The well-known CSS construction of $q$-ary AQCs is extended…
In this paper, for an odd prime power $q$, we extend the construction of Xie et al. \cite{XOYM2023} to propose two classes of linear codes $\mathcal{C}_{Q}$ and $\mathcal{C}_{Q}'$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with at most four…
Two general constructions of linear codes with functions over finite fields have been extensively studied in the literature. The first one is given by $\mathcal{C}(f)=\left\{ {\rm Tr}(af(x)+bx)_{x \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}^*}: a,b \in…
We derive refined entropy upper bounds for $q$-ary $B_2$ codes by exploiting the Fourier structure of the i.i.d. difference distribution $D=X-Y$. Since the pmf of $D$ is an autocorrelation, its Fourier series is a nonnegative trigonometric…
The interest in $q$-analogs of codes and designs has been increased in the last few years as a consequence of their new application in error-correction for random network coding. There are many interesting theoretical, algebraic, and…
In this paper, we construct an infinite family of three-weight binary codes from linear codes over the ring $R=\mathbb{F}_2+v\mathbb{F}_2+v^2\mathbb{F}_2$, where $v^3=1.$ These codes are defined as trace codes. They have the algebraic…
The $q$-ary block codes with two distances $d$ and $d+1$ are considered. Several constructions of such codes are given, as in the linear case all codes can be obtained by a simple modification of linear equidistant codes. Upper bounds for…
In this paper, we construct several infinite families of $q$-ary constacyclic codes over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with length $n$, dimension around $n/2$, and minimum distance at least $cn/\log_q n$ for some positive constant $c$. They…
Combinatorial $t$-designs have wide applications in coding theory, cryptography, communications and statistics. It is well known that the supports of all codewords with a fixed weight in a code may give a $t$-design. In this paper, we first…

This work is a survey on completely regular codes. Known properties, relations with other combinatorial structures and constructions are stated. The existence problem is also discussed and known results for some particular cases are…
New infinite families of quantum symmetric and asymmetric codes are constructed. Several of these are MDS. The codes obtained are shown to have parameters which are better than previously known. A number of known codes are special cases of…
The research of developing a general methodology for the construction of good nonregular designs has been very active in the last decade. Recent research by Xu and Wong [Statist. Sinica 17 (2007) 1191--1213] suggested a new class of…
