For non-negative integers $r$ and $m$, let $S_m^{(r)}(n)$ denote the $r$-fold summation (or hyper-sum) over the first $n$ positive integers to the $m$th powers, with the initial condition $S_m^{(0)}(n) =n^m$. In this paper, we derive a new…

In this work, we explore the relationship between free resolution of some monomial ideals and Generalized Hamming Weights (GHWs) of binary codes. More precisely, we look for a structure smaller than the set of codewords of minimal support…

We determine the weight spectra of the Reed-Muller codes $RM(m-3,m)$ for $m\ge 6$ and $RM(m-4,m)$ for $m\ge 8$. The technique used is induction on $m$, using that the sum of two weights in $RM(r-1,m-1)$ is a weight in $RM(r,m)$, and using…

In this paper, we describe the properties of the $i$-components of Hamming codes. We suggest constructions of the admissible families of components of Hamming codes. It is shown that every $q$-ary code of length $m$ and minimum distance 5…

In this paper, several weighted summation formulas of $q$-hyperharmonic numbers are derived. As special cases, several formulas of hyperharmonic numbers of type $\sum_{\ell=1}^{n} {\ell}^{p} H_{\ell}^{(r)}$ and $\sum_{\ell=0}^{n} {\ell}^{p}…

In this paper we consider the problem of determining the weight spectrum of q-ary codes C(3,m) associated with Grassmann varieties G(3,m). For m=6 this was done by Nogin. We derive a formula for the weight of a codeword of C(3,m), in terms…

A fundamental property of codes, the second-order weight distribution, is proposed to solve the problems such as computing second moments of weight distributions of linear code ensembles. A series of results, parallel to those for weight…

In theories in which the parameters of the low energy theory are not unique, perhaps having different values in different domains of the universe as is possible in some inflationary models, the fermion masses would be distributed with…

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…

The masses of excited heavy mesons are studied with sum rules in the heavy quark effective theory. A set of interpolating currents creating (annihilating) excited heavy mesons with arbitrary spin and parity are proposed and their properties…

Let $m$, $k_1$, and $k_2$ be three integers with $m\ge 2$. For any set $A\subseteq \mathbb{Z}_m$ and $n\in \mathbb{Z}_m$, let $\hat{r}_{k_1,k_2}(A,n)$ denote the number of solutions of the equation $n=k_1a_1+k_2a_2$ with $a_1,a_2\in A$. In…

The extended coset leader weight enumerator of the generalized Reed-Solomon $[q + 1, q - 3, 5]_q$ code is computed. The computation is considered as a question in finite geometry. For this we need the classification of the points, lines and…

We provide a geometric characterization of $k$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$-linear sum-rank metric codes as tuples of $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^k$. We then use this characterization to study one-weight codes in the…

We consider a class of Hermitian Hamiltonians with position-dependent mass $H=((m^alpha)p(m^beta)p(m^alpha))/2+\V$ with $2(alpha)+\beta=-1$. We apply these Hamiltonians to different piecewise flat potentials and masses (step, barrier, well…

A weighted Hamming metric is introduced in [4] and it showed that the binary generalized Goppa code is a perfect code in some weighted Hamming metric. In this paper, we study the weight structures which admit the binary Hamming code and the…

In the present paper we introduce and study finite point subsets of a special kind, called optimum distributions, in the n-dimensional unit cube. Such distributions are closely related with known (delta,s,n)-nets of low discrepancy. It…

Error-correcting codes have an important role in data storage and transmission and in cryptography, particularly in the post-quantum era. Hermitian matrices over finite fields and equipped with the rank metric have the potential to offer…
