An $(n,k,r)$ \emph{locally repairable code} (LRC) is an $[n,k,d]$ linear code where every code symbol can be repaired from at most $r$ other code symbols. An LRC is said to be optimal if the minimum distance attains the Singleton-like bound…
In this paper, by analyzing solutions of certain equations in the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{5^m}$, three classes of new optimal quinary cyclic codes with parameters $[5^m-1,5^m-2m-2,4]$ and two theorems are presented. With the help of the…

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…
Codes which attain the sphere packing bound are called perfect codes. The most important metrics in coding theory on which perfect codes are defined are the Hamming metric and the Johnson metric. While for the Hamming metric all perfect…
There is a one-to-one correspondence between $\ell$-quasi-cyclic codes over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ and linear codes over a ring $R = \mathbb F_q[Y]/(Y^m-1)$. Using this correspondence, we prove that every $\ell$-quasi-cyclic self-dual…

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…
We present new constructions of quantum codes of linear or close-to-linear distance and dimension with low-weight stabilizers. Only a few constructions of such codes were previously known, and were primarily based on a specific operation…
Given two identical linear codes $\mathcal C$ over $\mathbb F_q$ of length $n$, we independently pick one codeword from each codebook uniformly at random. A $\textit{sumset}$ is formed by adding these two codewords entry-wise as integer…
