This paper investigates the theory of sum-rank metric codes for which the individual matrix blocks may have different sizes. Various bounds on the cardinality of a code are derived, along with their asymptotic extensions. The duality theory…
Hermitian hulls of linear codes are interesting for theoretical and practical reasons alike. In terms of recent application, linear codes whose hulls meet certain conditions have been utilized as ingredients to construct…
Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are optimal where the minimum distance cannot be improved for a given length and code size. Twisted Reed-Solomon codes over finite fields were introduced in 2017, which are generalization of…
Computing the autotopism group of a partial Latin rectangle can be performed in a variety of ways. This pilot study has two aims: (a) to compare these methods experimentally, and (b) to identify the design goals one should have in mind for…
We prove that for all n>1 every latin n-dimensional cube of order 5 has transversals. We find all 123 paratopy classes of layer-latin cubes of order 5 with no transversals. For each $n\geq 3$ and $q\geq 3$ we construct a (2q-2)-layer latin…
Every Latin square has three attributes that can be even or odd, but any two of these attributes determines the third. Hence the parity of a Latin square has an information content of 2 bits. We extend the definition of parity from Latin…
We investigate a natural subfamily of twisted linearized Reed--Solomon (TLRS) codes in the sum-rank metric, where the twist is applied only to the constant term. We establish a simple necessary and sufficient condition for these codes to be…
Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) is one of the most popular methods for dimensionality reduction and visualization of high dimensional data. Apart from these tasks, it also found applications in the field of geometry processing for the…
The singleton defect of an $[n,k,d]$ linear code ${\cal C}$ is defined as $s({\cal C})=n-k+1-d$. Codes with $S({\cal C})=0$ are called maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, and codes with $S(\cal C)=S(\cal C ^{\bot})=1$ are called near…
We show that the sets of $d$-dimensional Latin hypercubes over a non-empty set $X$, with $d$ running over the positive integers, determine an operad which is isomorphic to a sub-operad of the endomorphism operad of $X$. We generalise this…
In this work, we study linear codes with the folded Hamming distance, or equivalently, codes with the classical Hamming distance that are linear over a subfield. This includes additive codes. We study MDS codes in this setting and define…
We characterize numerical semigroups $S$ with embedding dimension three attaining equality in the inequality $\max\Delta(S)+2\leq \operatorname{cat}(S)$, where $\Delta(S)$ denotes the Delta set of $S$ and $\operatorname{cat}(S)$ denotes the…
Near MDS (NMDS) codes are closely related to interesting objects in finite geometry and have nice applications in combinatorics and cryptography. But there are many unsolved problems about construction of NMDS codes. In this paper, by using…
We consider the problem of constructing Latin cubes subject to the condition that some symbols may not appear in certain cells. We prove that there is a constant $\gamma > 0$ such that if $n=2^k$ and $A$ is $3$-dimensional $n\times n\times…
The Clifford spectrum is an elegant way to define the joint spectrum of several Hermitian operators. While it has been know that for examples as small as three $2$-by-$2$ matrices the Clifford spectrum can be a two-dimensional manifold, few…
A partial transversal $T$ of a Latin square $L$ is a set of entries of $L$ in which each row, column and symbol is represented at most once. A partial transversal is maximal if it is not contained in a larger partial transversal. Any…
The rate regions of multilevel diversity coding systems (MDCS), a sub-class of the broader family of multi-source multi-sink networks with special structure, are investigated. After showing how to enumerate all non-isomorphic MDCS instances…
We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for there to exist a latin square of order $n$ containing two subsquares of order $a$ and $b$ that intersect in a subsquare of order $c$. We also solve the case of two disjoint subsquares. We…
The metric (resp. edge metric or mixed metric) dimension of a graph $G$, is the cardinality of the smallest ordered set of vertices that uniquely recognizes all the pairs of distinct vertices (resp. edges, or vertices and edges) of $G$ by…
The weight spectra of MDS codes of length $ n $ and dimension $ k $ over the arbitrary alphabets are studied. For all $ q $-ary MDS codes of dimension $ k $ containing the zero codeword, it is shown that all $ k $ weights from $ n $ to $…
