In this paper, we describe a procedure for constructing $q$--ary $[N,3,N-2]$--MDS codes, of length $N\leq q+1$ (for $q$ odd) or $N\leq q+2$ (for $q$ even), using a set of non--degenerate Hermitian forms in $PG(2,q^2)$.

One of the most fundamental topics in subspace coding is to explore the maximal possible value ${\bf A}_q(n,d,k)$ of a set of $k$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ such that the subspace distance satisfies $\operatorname{d_S}(U,V) =…

We study q-ary linear codes C obtained from Veronese surfaces over finite fields. We show how one can find the higher weight spectra of these codes, or equivalently, the weight distribution of all extension codes of C over all field…

We propose a unified theory of generalized weights for linear codes endowed with an arbitrary distance. Instead of relying on supports or anticodes, the weights of a code are defined via the intersections of the code with a chosen family of…

The weight enumerators (quant-ph/9610040) of a quantum code are quite powerful tools for exploring its structure. As the weight enumerators are quadratic invariants of the code, this suggests the consideration of higher-degree polynomial…

We consider (symmetric, non-degenerate) bilinear spaces over a finite field and investigate the properties of their $\ell$-complementary subspaces, i.e., the subspaces that intersect their dual in dimension $\ell$. This concept generalizes…

A $q$-ary code of length $n$, size $M$, and minimum distance $d$ is called an $(n,M,d)_q$ code. An $(n,q^{k},n-k+1)_q$ code is called a maximum distance separable (MDS) code. In this work, some MDS codes over small alphabets are classified.…
