Hoholdt, van Lint and Pellikaan used order functions to construct codes by means of Linear Algebra and Semigroup Theory only. However, Geometric Goppa codes that can be represented by this method are mainly those based on just one point. In…
Algebraic geometry codes or Goppa codes are defined with places of degree one. In constructing generalised algebraic geometry codes places of higher degree are used. In this paper we present 41 new codes over GF(16) which improve on the…
In 1998 Hoholdt, van Lint and Pellikaan introduced the concept of a ``weight function'' defined on a F_q-algebra and used it to construct linear codes, obtaining among them the algebraic-geometric (AG) codes supported on one point. Later it…
A new effective decoding algorithm is presented for arbitrary algebraic-geometric codes on the basis of solving a generalized key equation with the majority coset scheme of Duursma. It is an improvement of Ehrhard's algorithm, since the…
Let $p$ be a prime number and $s> 0$ an integer. In this short note, we investigate one-point geometric Goppa codes associated with an elementary abelian $p$-extension of $\mathbb{F}_{p^{s}}(x)$. We determine their dimension and the exact…
We introduce the first geometric construction of codes in the sum-rank metric, which we called linearized Algebraic Geometry codes, using quotients of the ring of Ore polynomials with coefficients in the function field of an algebraic…
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…
This Diplom thesis provides an explicit construction of a quantum Goppa code for any hyperelliptic curve over a non-binary field. Hyperelliptic curves have conjugate pairs of rational places. We use these pairs to construct self-orthogonal…
Generalized Goppa codes are defined by a code locator set $\mathcal{L}$ of polynomials and a Goppa polynomial $G(x)$. When the degree of all code locator polynomials in $\mathcal{L}$ is one, generalized Goppa codes are classical Goppa…
In this paper we study the dual codes of a wide family of evaluation codes on norm-trace curves. We explicitly find out their minimum distance and give a lower bound for the number of their minimum-weight codewords. A general geometric…
This paper is mainly a semi-tutorial introduction to elementary algebraic topology and its applications to Ising-type models of statistical physics, using graphical models of linear and group codes. It contains new material on systematic…
Expository paper discussing AG or Goppa codes arising from curves, first from an abstract general perspective then turning to concrete examples associated to modular curves. We will try to explain these extremely technical ideas using a…
Rosenbloom and Tsfasman, in their foundational work on the $m$-metric, introduced algebraic-geometric codes defined by multiple points on a smooth projective curve $X$. This construction involves a divisor $G$ and another divisor $D=\sum n…
In this paper we study evaluation codes arising from plane quotients of the Hermitian curve, defined by affine equations of the form $y^q+y=x^m$, $q$ being a prime power and $m$ a positive integer which divides $q+1$. The dual minimum…
We investigate the geometric foundations of the space of geometric Goppa codes using the Tsfasman-Vladut H-construction. These codes are constructed from level structures, which extend the classical Goppa framework by incorporating…
The theory of algebraic-geometric codes has been developed in the beginning of the 80's after a paper of V.D. Goppa. Given a smooth projective algebraic curve X over a finite field, there are two different constructions of error-correcting…
In this article, we present a new construction of codes from algebraic curves. Given a curve over a non-prime finite field, the obtained codes are defined over a subfield. We call them Cartier Codes since their construction involves the…
In this note, we investigate Goppa codes which are constructed by means of Elliptic function field and Hyperelliptic function field. We also give a simple criterion for self-duality of these codes.
Lenstra and Guruswami described number field analogues of the algebraic geometry codes of Goppa. Recently, the first author and Oggier generalised these constructions to other arithmetic groups: unit groups in number fields and orders in…
We present an introduction to the theory of algebraic geometry codes. Starting from evaluation codes and codes from order and weight functions, special attention is given to one-point codes and, in particular, to the family of Castle codes.
