A Maximum Distance Separable code over an alphabet $F$ is defined via an encoding function $C:F^k \rightarrow F^n$ that allows to retrieve a message $m \in F^k$ from the codeword $C(m)$ even after erasing any $n-k$ of its symbols. The…

We investigate when a maximum distance separable ($MDS$) code over $F_q$ is also completely regular ($CR$). For lengths $n=q+1$ and $n=q+2$ we provide a complete classification of the $MDS$ codes that are $CR$ or at least uniformly packed…
