In 1962, Jesse MacWilliams published a set of formulas for linear and abelian group codes that among other applications, were incredibly valuable in the study of self-dual codes. Now called the MacWilliams Identities, her results relate the…
In the 1960s, MacWilliams proved that the Hamming weight enumerator of a linear code over a finite field completely determines, and is determined by, the Hamming weight enumerator of its dual code. In particular, if two linear codes have…
The $m$-spotty byte error control codes provide a good source for detecting and correcting errors in semiconductor memory systems using high density RAM chips with wide I/O data (e.g. 8, 16, or 32 bits). $m$-spotty byte error control codes…
Past few years have seen an extensive use of RAM chips with wide I/O data (e.g. 16, 32, 64 bits) in computer memory systems. These chips are highly vulnerable to a special type of byte error, called an $m$-spotty byte error, which can be…
We derive bounds on general quantum error correcting codes against the displacement noise channel. The bounds limit the distances attainable by codes and also apply in an approximate setting. Our main result is a quantum analogue of the…
MacWilliams identities relate the weight enumerators of a code with those of its dual and are classically formulated with respect to the Hamming weight. For other metrics, however, these identities often fail when considering the weight…
We interpret the symmetrized weight enumerator of linear codes over finite commutative Frobenius rings as a summation over multisets and thereby provide a new proof of the MacWilliams identity for the symmetrized weight enumerator. The…
This paper examines the $w$-weight enumerators of weights $w$ with maximal symmetry over finite chain rings and matrix rings over finite fields. In many cases, including the homogeneous weight, the MacWilliams identities for $w$-weight…
Analogies between codes and lattices have been extensively studied for the last decades, in this dictionary, the MacWilliams identity is the finite analog of the Jacobi-Poisson formula of the Theta function. Motivated by the random theory…
We use derivatives to prove the equivalences between MacWilliams identity and its four equivalent forms, and present new interpretations for the four equivalent forms. Our results explicitly give out the relationships between MacWilliams…
Codes over various metrics such as Rosenbloom-Tsfasman (RT), Lee, etc. have been considered. Recently, codes over poset metrics have been studied. Poset metric is a great generalization of many metrics especially the well-known ones such as…
The MacWilliams Extension Theorem states that each linear isometry of a linear code extends to a monomial map. Unlike the linear codes, in general, additive codes do not have the extension property. In this paper, an analogue of the…
In this work we characterize the combinatorial metrics admitting a MacWilliams-type identity and describe the group of linear isometries of such metrics. Considering coverings that are not connected, we classify the metrics satisfying the…
Linear codes are considered over the ring Z_4+uZ_4, a non-chain extension of Z_4. Lee weights, Gray maps for these codes are defined and MacWilliams identities for the complete, symmetrized and Lee weight enumerators are proved. Two…
Continuing previous works on MacWilliams theory over codes and lattices, a generalization of the MacWilliams theory over $\mathbb{Z}_k$ for $m$ codes is established, and the complete weight enumerator MacWilliams identity also holds for…
We develop a duality theory of locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and apply it to establish a series of new bounds on their parameters. We introduce and study a refined notion of weight distribution that captures the code's locality. Using a…
The MacWilliams extension theorem is investigated for various weight functions over finite Frobenius rings. The problem is reformulated in terms of a local-global property for subgroups of the general linear group. Among other things, it is…
The Doob scheme $D(m,n'+n'')$ is a metric association scheme defined on $E_4^m \times F_4^{n'}\times Z_4^{n''}$, where $E_4=GR(4^2)$ or, alternatively, on $Z_4^{2m} \times Z_2^{2n'} \times Z_4^{n''}$. We prove the MacWilliams identities…
In this paper, we have introduced the concepts of support distribution and the support enumerator as refinements of the classical weight distribution and weight enumerator respectively, capturing coordinate level activity in linear block…
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…
