Firstly, we give a formula on the generalized Hamming weight of linear codes constructed generically by defining sets. Secondly, by choosing properly the defining set we obtain a class of cyclotomic linear codes and then present two…
This article deals with a study of the structure of the class group of the cyclotomic field $K=\Q(\zeta_p)$ for $p$ an odd prime number, starting from Stickelberger relation. The present state of this work leads me to set a question for all…
A system of nested dichotomies is a method of decomposing a multi-class problem into a collection of binary problems. Such a system recursively splits the set of classes into two subsets, and trains a binary classifier to distinguish…
In this paper, six constructions of difference families are presented. These constructions make use of difference sets, almost difference sets and disjoint difference families, and give new point of views of relationships among these…
A system of nested dichotomies is a method of decomposing a multi-class problem into a collection of binary problems. Such a system recursively applies binary splits to divide the set of classes into two subsets, and trains a binary…
Balancedly splittable Hadamard matrices are introduced and studied. A connection is made to the Hadamard diagonalizable strongly regular graphs, maximal equiangular lines set, and unbiased Hadamard matrices. Several construction methods are…
In this paper, we study skew-symmetric $2$-$\{v;r,k;\lambda\}$ supplementary difference sets related to a certain class of complex spherical 2-codes. A classification of such supplementary difference sets is complete for $v \le 51$.
We use difference sets to construct interesting sets of lines in complex space. Using (v,k,1)-difference sets, we obtain k^2-k+1 equiangular lines in C^k when k-1 is a prime power. Using semiregular relative difference sets with parameters…
We extend the existing skew polynomial representations of matrix algebras which are direct sum of matrix spaces over division rings. In this representation, the sum-rank distance between two tuples of matrices is captured by a weight…
The problem to construct optimal conflict-avoiding codes of even lengths and the Hamming weight $3$ is completely settled. On the contrary, it is still open for odd lengths. It turns out that the prime lengths are the fundamental cases…
In this Phd. thesis, a structural analysis of construction schemes is developed. The importance of this study will be justified by constructing several distinct combinatorial objects which have been of great interest in mathematics. We then…
In the present paper, we study relative difference sets (RDSs) and linked systems of them. It is shown that a closed linked system of RDSs is always graded by a group. Based on this result, we also define a product of RDS linked systems…
(Strong) circular external difference families (which we denote as CEDFs and SCEDFs) can be used to construct nonmalleable threshold schemes. They are a variation of (strong) external difference families, which have been extensively studied…
We develop summation by parts (SBP) approach for generating high-order finite-difference schemes on the interval and propose new sets of schemes up to the 12th order. The coefficients of the schemes are governed by values of grid spacing…
We revisit the problem of constructing Menon-Hadamard difference sets. In 1997, Wilson and Xiang gave a general framework for constructing Menon-Hadamard difference sets by using a combination of a spread and four projective sets of type Q…
Chowla~(1962), McEliece~(1974), Evans~(1977, 1981) and Aoki~(1997, 2004, 2012) studied Gauss sums, some integral powers of which are in the field of rational numbers. Such Gauss sums are called {\it pure}. In particular, Aoki (2004) gave a…
We can obtain a non-symmetric class $2$ association scheme by a skew-Hadamard matrix. We begin with a skew-Hadamard matrix of order $n$, construct a skew-Hadamard matrix of order $2n$ by doubling construction, and a non-symmetric class $2$…
We present a variety of new results on finite sets A of integers for which the sumset A+A is larger than the difference set A-A, so-called MSTD (more sums than differences) sets. First we show that there is, up to affine transformation, a…
Let $n_1=ef+1$ and $n_2=ef'+1$ be two distinct odd primes with positive integers $e,\ f,\ f'.$ In this paper, the two-prime Whiteman's generalized cyclotomic sequence of order $e=6$ is employed to construct several classes of cyclic codes…
We construct a new family of homomorphisms between (graded) Specht modules of the quiver Hecke algebras of type A. These maps have many similarities with the homomorphisms constructed by Carter and Payne in the special case of the symmetric…
