Let $p$ be a prime such that $p \equiv 2$ or $3$ mod $5$. Linear block codes over the non-commutative matrix ring of $2 \times 2$ matrices over the prime field $GF(p)$ endowed with the Bachoc weight are derived as isometric images of linear…

The minimum distance is one of the most important combinatorial characterizations of a code. The maximum likelihood decoding problem is one of the most important algorithmic problems of a code. While these problems are known to be hard for…

In coding theory, the problem of list recovery asks one to find all codewords $c$ of a given code $C$ which such that at least $1-\rho$ fraction of the symbols of $c$ lie in some predetermined set of $\ell$ symbols for each coordinate of…
