Let $C$ be a $(n,q^{2k},n-k+1)_{q^2}$ additive MDS code which is linear over ${\mathbb F}_q$. We prove that if $n \geqslant q+k$ and $k+1$ of the projections of $C$ are linear over ${\mathbb F}_{q^2}$ then $C$ is linear over ${\mathbb…
In recent years, many connections have been made between minimal codes, a classical object in coding theory, and other remarkable structures in finite geometry and combinatorics. One of the main problems related to minimal codes is to give…
A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n - k + 1]$ is called maximum distance separable (MDS), and one with parameters $[n, k, n - k]$ is called almost MDS (AMDS). A code is near-MDS (NMDS) if both it and its dual are AMDS. NMDS codes…
In modern storage technologies, symbol-pair codes have emerged as a crucial framework for addressing errors in channels where symbols are read in overlapping pairs to guard against pair errors. A symbol-pair code that meets the…
A basic problem for constant dimension codes is to determine the maximum possible size $A_q(n,d;k)$ of a set of $k$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, called codewords, such that the subspace distance satisfies…
Upper bounds on the minimum Lee distance of codes that are linear over ${\mathbb Z}_q$, $q=p^t$, $p$ prime are discussed. The bounds are Singleton like, depending on the length, rank, and alphabet size of the code. Codes meeting such bounds…
A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n-k+1]$ is called a maximum distance separable (MDS for short) code. A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n-k]$ is said to be almost maximum distance separable (AMDS for short). A linear code is said…
A q-ary linear code of dimension k is called a maximum weight spectrum (MWS) code if it has the maximum possible number (viz. (q^k-1)/(q-1)) of different non-zero weights. We construct MWS codes from quasi-minimal codes, thus obtaining of…
We present a new general construction of MDS codes over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We describe two explicit subclasses which contain new MDS codes of length at least $q/2$ for all values of $q \ge 11$. Moreover, we show that most of the…
Both MDS and Euclidean self-dual codes have theoretical and practical importance and the study of MDS self-dual codes has attracted lots of attention in recent years. In particular, determining existence of $q$-ary MDS self-dual codes for…
In this paper, we produce new classes of MDS self-dual codes via (extended) generalized Reed-Solomon codes over finite fields of odd characteristic. Among our constructions, there are many MDS self-dual codes with new parameters which have…
We show that $A_2(7,4) \leq 388$ and, more generally, $A_q(7,4) \leq (q^2-q+1)[7]_q + q^4 - 2q^3 + 3q^2 - 4q + 4$ by semidefinite programming for $q \leq 101$. Furthermore, we extend results by Bachoc et al. on SDP bounds for $A_2(n,d)$,…
Higher order MDS codes are an interesting generalization of MDS codes recently introduced by Brakensiek, Gopi and Makam (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 2022). In later works, they were shown to be intimately connected to optimally list-decodable…
Let $q$ be a prime power. Let $\lambda>1$ be a divisor of $q-1$, and let $\tau>1$ and $\rho>1$ be divisors of $q+1$. Under certain conditions we prove that there exists an MDS stabilizer quantum code with length $n=\lambda \tau \sigma$…
We study (symbol-pair) codes for symbol-pair read channels introduced recently by Cassuto and Blaum (2010). A Singleton-type bound on symbol-pair codes is established and infinite families of optimal symbol-pair codes are constructed. These…
In this paper, we present three new classes of $q$-ary quantum MDS codes utilizing generalized Reed-Solomon codes satisfying Hermitian self-orthogonal property. Among our constructions, the minimum distance of some $q$-ary quantum MDS codes…

The weight spectra of MDS codes of length $ n $ and dimension $ k $ over the arbitrary alphabets are studied. For all $ q $-ary MDS codes of dimension $ k $ containing the zero codeword, it is shown that all $ k $ weights from $ n $ to $…
The symbol-pair code is a new coding framework proposed to guard against pair-errors in symbol-pair read channels. Especially, a symbol-pair code with the parameters achieving the Singleton-type bound is called an MDS symbol-pair code. In…
An improved Singleton-type upper bound is presented for the list decoding radius of linear codes, in terms of the code parameters [n,k,d] and the list size L. L-MDS codes are then defined as codes that attain this bound (under a slightly…
