A partition of a finite abelian group gives rise to a dual partition on the character group via the Fourier transform. Properties of the dual partitions are investigated and a convenient test is given for the case that the bidual partition…
Linear codes have been an interesting topic in both theory and practice for many years. In this paper, a class of $q$-ary linear codes with few weights are presented and their weight distributions are determined using Gauss periods. Some of…
Linear codes with a few weights can be applied to secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes and strongly regular graphs. For an odd prime power $q$, we construct a class of three-weight $\F_q$-linear codes from quadratic…
The present note establishes the equivalence of Mac Williams identities for an additive code C and its dual to Polarized Riemann-Roch Conditions on their Zeta-functions. In such a way, the duality of additive codes appears to be a polarized…
Random network coding recently attracts attention as a technique to disseminate information in a network. This paper considers a non-coherent multi-shot network, where the unknown and time-variant network is used several times. In order to…

The $b$-symbol read channel is motivated by the limitations of the reading process in high density data storage systems. The corresponding new metric is a generalization of the Hamming metric known as the $b$-symbol weight metric and has…
A linear code is said to be $\Delta$-divisible if the Hamming weights of all its codewords are divisible by $\Delta$. The $p$-adic valuation of a code is defined as the greatest integer $t$ such that the code is $p^t$-divisible. In this…
The structure of a linear block code is pivotal in defining fundamental properties, particularly weight distribution, and code design. In this study, we characterize the Type II structure of polar codewords with weights less than twice the…
We give a characterization for the binary linear constant weight codes by using the symmetric difference of the supports of the codewords. This characterization gives a correspondence between the set of binary linear constant weight codes…
In this paper, we propose a class of linear codes and obtain their weight distribution. Some of these codes are almost optimal. Moreover, several classes of constant composition codes(CCCs) are constructed as subcodes of linear codes.
Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…

A classical method of constructing a linear code over $\gf(q)$ with a $t$-design is to use the incidence matrix of the $t$-design as a generator matrix over $\gf(q)$ of the code. This approach has been extensively investigated in the…
