In this paper, we give a method for constructing linear codes with small hulls by generalizing the method in \cite{LCD-T-matric}. As a result, we obtain many optimal Euclidean LCD codes and Hermitian LCD codes, which improve the previously…
We exhibit seven linear codes exceeding the current best known minimum distance d for their dimension k and block length n. Each code is defined over F_8, and their invariants [n,k,d] are given by [49,13,27], [49,14,26], [49,16,24],…
Toric codes are a type of evaluation code introduced by J.P. Hansen in 2000. They are produced by evaluating (a vector space composed by) polynomials at the points of $(\mathbb{F}_q^*)^s$, the monomials of these polynomials being related to…
From a rational convex polytope of dimension $r\ge 2$ J.P. Hansen constructed an error correcting code of length $n=(q-1)^r$ over the finite field $\fq$. A rational convex polytope is the same datum as a normal toric variety and a Cartier…
We define a statistical measure of the typical size of short words in a linear code over a finite field. We prove that the dual toric codes coming from polytopes of degree one are characterized, among all dual toric codes, by being extremal…
All codes with minimum distance 8 and codimension up to 14 and all codes with minimum distance 10 and codimension up to 18 are classified. Nonexistence of codes with parameters [33,18,8] and [33,14,10] is proved. This leads to 8 new exact…
In this paper we introduce a new type of code, called projective nested cartesian code. It is obtained by the evaluation of homogeneous polynomials of a fixed degree on a certain subset of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{F}_q)$, and they may be seen…

In the present article, we consider Algebraic Geometry codes on some rational surfaces. The estimate of the minimum distance is translated into a point counting problem on plane curves. This problem is solved by applying the upper bound…
A lower bound on minimum distance of convolutional polar codes is provided. The bound is obtained from the minimum weight of generalized cosets of the codes generated by bottom rows of the polarizing matrix. Moreover, a construction of…
Toric geometry provides a bridge between the theory of polytopes and algebraic geometry: one can associate to each lattice polytope a polarized toric variety. In this paper we explore this correspondence to classify smooth lattice polytopes…
This paper is a general survey of literature on Goppa-type codes from higher dimensional algebraic varieties. The construction and several techniques for estimating the minimum distance are described first. Codes from various classes of…
A toric code, introduced by Hansen to extend the Reed-Solomon code as a $k$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, is determined by a toric variety or its associated integral convex polytope $P \subseteq [0,q-2]^n$, where $k=|P \cap…
A decade ago Kitaev's toric code model established the new paradigm of topological quantum computation. Due to remarkable theoretical and experimental progress, the quantum simulation of such complex many-body systems is now within the…
We consider linear cyclic codes with the locality property, or locally recoverable codes (LRC codes). A family of LRC codes that generalize the classical construction of Reed-Solomon codes was constructed in a recent paper by I. Tamo and A.…
Minimal linear codes are in one-to-one correspondence with special types of blocking sets of projective spaces over a finite field, which are called strong or cutting blocking sets. In this paper we prove an upper bound on the minimal…
In an interesting paper Professor Cunsheng Ding provided three constructions of cyclic codes of length being a product of two primes. Numerical data shows that many codes from these constructions are best cyclic codes of the same length and…
For a given lattice polytope $P$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$, consider the space $\mathcal{L}_P$ of trivariate polynomials over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, whose Newton polytopes are contained in $P$. We give an upper bound for the maximum number…
We study subfield-subcodes of Generalized Toric (GT) codes over $\mathbb{F}_{p^s}$. These are the multidimensional analogues of BCH codes, which may be seen as subfield-subcodes of generalized Reed-Solomon codes. We identify polynomial…
Toric log del Pezzo surfaces correspond to convex lattice polygons containing the origin in their interior and having only primitive vertices. An upper bound on the volume and on the number of boundary lattice points of these polygons is…
