We derive weighted sums, including binomial and double binomial sums, for the generalized Fibonacci sequence $\{G_m\}$ where for $m\ge 2$, $G_m=G_{m-1}+G_{m-2}$ with initial values $G_0$ and $G_1$.
In this paper, we give the Jacobi polynomials for first-order generalized Reed--Muller codes. We show as a corollary the nonexistence of combinatorial $3$-designs in these codes.
Explicit bases for the subfield subcodes of projective Reed-Muller codes over the projective plane and their duals are obtained. In particular, we provide a formula for the dimension of these codes. For the general case over the projective…
The dual of the Kasami code of length $q^2-1$, with $q$ a power of $2$, is constructed by concatenating a cyclic MDS code of length $q+1$ over $F_q$ with a Simplex code of length $q-1$. This yields a new derivation of the weight…

Recursive list decoding is considered for Reed-Muller (RM) codes. The algorithm repeatedly relegates itself to the shorter RM codes by recalculating the posterior probabilities of their symbols. Intermediate decodings are only performed…
Lifted Reed-Solomon codes, a subclass of lifted affine-invariant codes, have been shown to be of high rate while preserving locality properties similar to generalized Reed-Muller codes, which they contain as subcodes. This work introduces a…

In 1981, Schatz proved that the covering radius of the binary Reed-Muller code $RM(2,6)$ is 18. For $RM(2,7)$, we only know that its covering radius is between 40 and 44. In this paper, we prove that the covering radius of the binary…
