We construct two new families of linear codes by modifying the generator matrices of generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes. For these codes, we explicitly derive parity-check matrices and establish necessary and sufficient conditions…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $q$ be a power of $p$. In this paper, by using generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS for short) codes and extended GRS codes, we construct two new classes of quantum maximum-distance- separable (MDS) codes with parameters…

A code of length $n$ is said to be (combinatorially) $(\rho,L)$-list decodable if the Hamming ball of radius $\rho n$ around any vector in the ambient space does not contain more than $L$ codewords. We study a recently introduced class of…

A q-ary linear code of dimension k is called a maximum weight spectrum (MWS) code if it has the maximum possible number (viz. (q^k-1)/(q-1)) of different non-zero weights. We construct MWS codes from quasi-minimal codes, thus obtaining of…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^{e}$ elements, where $p$ is a prime number and $e \geq 1$ is an integer. In this paper, by means of generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, we construct two new classes of quantum…

Many classical constructions, such as Plotkin's and Turyn's, were generalized by matrix product (MP) codes. Quasi-twisted (QT) codes, on the other hand, form an algebraically rich structure class that contains many codes with best-known…

Maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes are a class of erasure codes that are widely adopted to enhance the reliability of distributed storage systems (DSS). In (n, k) MDS coded DSS, the original data are stored into n distributed nodes in…

Dealing with large numbers of symmetries is often problematic. One solution is to focus on just symmetries that generate the symmetry group. Whilst there are special cases where breaking just the symmetries in a generating set is complete,…

This work deals with partial MDS (PMDS) codes, a special class of locally repairable codes, used for distributed storage system. We first show that a known construction of these codes, using Gabidulin codes, can be extended to use any…

We give a short argument that yields a new lower bound on the number of subsampled rows from a bounded, orthonormal matrix necessary to form a matrix with the restricted isometry property. We show that a matrix formed by uniformly…

We give constructions of some special cases of $[n,k]$ Reed-Solomon codes over finite fields of size at least $n$ and $n+1$ whose generator matrices have constrained support. Furthermore, we consider a generalisation of the GM-MDS…

Let $q$ be a prime power. Let $\lambda>1$ be a divisor of $q-1$, and let $\tau>1$ and $\rho>1$ be divisors of $q+1$. Under certain conditions we prove that there exists an MDS stabilizer quantum code with length $n=\lambda \tau \sigma$…

In this paper, we derive a formula for constructing a generator matrix for the intersection of any pair of linear codes over a finite field. Consequently, we establish a condition under which a linear code has a trivial intersection with…

We consider the geometric problem of determining the maximum number $n_q(r,h,f;s)$ of $(h-1)$-spaces in the projective space $\operatorname{PG}(r-1,q)$ such that each subspace of codimension $f$ does contain at most $s$ elements. In coding…

A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n - k + 1]$ is called maximum distance separable (MDS), and one with parameters $[n, k, n - k]$ is called almost MDS (AMDS). A code is near-MDS (NMDS) if both it and its dual are AMDS. NMDS codes…
