The minimum distance graph of an extended Preparata code P(m) has vertices corresponding to codewords and edges corresponding to pairs of codewords that are distance 6 apart. The clique structure of this graph is investigated and it is…
Let (X,dX) and (Y,dY) be semimetric spaces with distance sets D(X) and, respectively, D(Y). A mapping F : X \to Y is a weak similarity if it is surjective and there exists a strictly increasing f : D(Y) \to D(X) such that dX = f \circ dY…
An (n,d)-permutation code is a subset C of Sym(n) such that the Hamming distance d_H between any two distinct elements of C is at least equal to d. In this paper, we use the characterisation of the isometry group of the metric space…
Consider the metric space $\mathcal{C}$ consisting of the $n$-dimensional Boolean cube equipped with the Hamming distance. A weak isometry of $\mathcal{C}$ is a permutation of $\mathcal{C}$ preserving a given subset of Hamming distances. In…
We consider linear codes over a finite field of odd characteristic, derived from determinantal varieties, obtained from symmetric matrices of bounded ranks. A formula for the weight of a code word is derived. Using this formula, we have…
Weak similarities form a special class of mappings between semimetric spaces. Two semimetric spaces $X$ and $Y$ are weakly similar if there exists a weak similarity $\Phi\colon X\to Y$. We find a structural characteristic of finite…
Let $\mathcal{C} = (C_1, C_2, \ldots)$ be a sequence of codes such that each $C_i$ is a linear $[n_i,k_i,d_i]$-code over some fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}$, where $n_i$ is the length of the codewords, $k_i$ is the dimension, and $d_i$ is…
Security aspects of the Index Coding with Side Information (ICSI) problem are investigated. Building on the results of Bar-Yossef et al. (2006), the properties of linear index codes are further explored. The notion of weak security,…
For a code $C$ in a space with maximal distance $n$, we say that $C$ has symmetric distances if its distance set $S(C)$ is symmetric with respect to $n / 2$. In this paper, we prove that if $C$ is a binary code with length $2n$, constant…
Let $F_q$ be a finite field. A flag of $F_q$-linear codes $C_0\subsetneq C_1\subsetneq\dots\subsetneq C_s$ is said to satisfy the isometry-dual property if there exists a vector $x\in(F_q^*)^n$ such that $C_i=x\cdot C_{s-i}^\perp$, where…
In this paper we will discuss isometries and strong isometries for convolutional codes. Isometries are weight-preserving module isomorphisms whereas strong isometries are, in addition, degree-preserving. Special cases of these maps are…
Partitions of the binary linear Hamming code into Preparata-like codes are known to induce line-parallelisms of PG$(n, 2)$. In this paper, we show that if $P$ is any Preparata-like code contained in the binary linear Hamming code $H$ of the…
Minimal codes are linear codes where all non-zero codewords are minimal, i.e., whose support is not properly contained in the support of another codeword. The minimum possible length of such a $k$-dimensional linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$…
We consider additive codes over GF(4) that are self-dual with respect to the Hermitian trace inner product. Such codes have a well-known interpretation as quantum codes and correspond to isotropic systems. It has also been shown that these…
The minimum distance graph of a code has the codewords as vertices and edges exactly when the Hamming distance between two codewords equals the minimum distance of the code. A constructive proof for reconstructibility of an extended perfect…
An expander code is a binary linear code whose parity-check matrix is the bi-adjacency matrix of a bipartite expander graph. We provide a new formula for the minimum distance of such codes. We also provide a new proof of the result that…
Linear codes for error detection on a q-ary symmetric channel are studied. It is shown that for given dimension k and minimum distance d, there exists a value \mu(d,k) such that if C is a code of length n >= \mu(d,k), then neither C nor its…
We prove that certain triangulated categories are (weakly) approximable in the sense of A. Neeman. We prove that a triangulated $C$ that is compactly generated by a single object $G$ is weakly approximable if $C(G,G[i])=0$ for $i>1$ (we say…
We investigate weakly constrained codes, in which specific patterns occur with prescribed frequencies rather than being strictly forbidden as in conventional constrained coding. We propose a capacity-achieving construction of a weakly…
Finite metric spaces are the object of study in many data analysis problems. We examine the concept of weak isometry between finite metric spaces, in order to analyse properties of the spaces that are invariant under strictly increasing…
