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…
The classical way of extending an $[n, k, d]$ linear code $\C$ is to add an overall parity-check coordinate to each codeword of the linear code $\C$. This extended code, denoted by $\overline{\C}(-\bone)$ and called the standardly extended…
In this paper, for an even integer $n\geq 4$ and any positive integer $k$ with ${\rm gcd}(n/2,k)={\rm gcd}(n/2-k,2k)=d$ being odd, a class of $p$-ary codes $\mathcal{C}^k$ is defined and their weight distribution is completely determined,…
The minimum distance of a code is an important concept in information theory. Hence, computing the minimum distance of a code with a minimum computational cost is a crucial process to many problems in this area. In this paper, we present…
Cyclic codes are an important class of linear codes, whose weight distribution have been extensively studied. Most previous results obtained so far were for cyclic codes with no more than three zeroes. Inspired by the works…
All codes with minimum distance 8 and codimension up to 14 and all codes with minimum distance 10 and codimension up to 18 are classified. Nonexistence of codes with parameters [33,18,8] and [33,14,10] is proved. This leads to 8 new exact…
Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes form a wide and useful class of linear codes that includes thoroughly quasi-cyclic codes, finite geometry (FG) low density parity check (LDPC) codes, and Hermitian codes. Although it is known that the…
We give a general unified method that can be used for $L_1$ {\em closeness testing} of a wide range of univariate structured distribution families. More specifically, we design a sample optimal and computationally efficient algorithm for…
We survey the existing techniques for calculating code distances of classical codes and apply these techniques to generic quantum codes. For classical and quantum LDPC codes, we also present a new linked-cluster technique. It reduces…
The average weight distribution of a regular low-density parity-check (LDPC) code ensemble over a finite field is thoroughly analyzed. In particular, a precise asymptotic approximation of the average weight distribution is derived for the…
We introduce a formula for determining the number of codewords of weight 2 in cyclic codes and provide results related to the count of codewords with weight 3. Additionally, we establish a recursive relationship for binary cyclic codes that…
We present a linked-cluster technique for calculating the distance of a quantum LDPC code. It offers an advantage over existing deterministic techniques for codes with small relative distances (which includes all known families of quantum…
In modern data storage systems, non-binary LDPC codes for recovering from disk failures are increasingly considered strong competitors to MDS codes such as Reed-Solomon codes. Since disk failures can be modeled as erasures, we analyze…
Distance weighted discrimination (DWD) is a linear discrimination method that is particularly well-suited for classification tasks with high-dimensional data. The DWD coefficients minimize an intuitive objective function, which can solved…
Most bounds on the size of codes hold for any code, whether linear or not. Notably, the Griesmer bound holds only in the linear case and so optimal linear codes are not necessarily optimal codes. In this paper we identify code parameters…
The equilibrium distribution function determines macroscopic observables in statistical physics. While conventional methods correct equilibrium distributions in weakly nonlinear or near-integrable systems, they fail in strongly nonlinear…
Linear codes have been an interesting subject of study for many years, as linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, a class of…
In this article, we construct linear codes over the commutative non-unital ring $I$ of size four. We obtain their Lee-weight distributions and study their binary Gray images. Under certain mild conditions, these classes of binary codes are…
Consider a finite directed graph without cycles in which the arrows are weighted. We present an algorithm for the computation of a new distance, called path-length-weighted distance, which has proven useful for graph analysis in the context…
