Gleason's 1970 theorem on weight enumerators of self-dual codes has played a crucial role for research in coding theory during the last four decades. Plenty of generalizations have been proved but, to our knowledge, they are all based on…
Linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, several classes of $p$-ary linear codes with two or three weights are constructed…
In most of the network coding problems with $k$ messages, the existence of binary network coding solution over $\mathbb{F}_2$ depends on the existence of adequate sets of $k$-dimensional binary vectors such that each set comprises of…
We improve previously known lower bounds for the minimum distance of certain two-point AG codes constructed using a Generalized Giulietti-Korchmaros curve (GGK). Castellanos and Tizziotti recently described such bounds for two-point codes…
Let $A_q(n,d)$ be the maximum order (maximum number of codewords) of a $q$-ary code of length $n$ and Hamming distance at least $d$. And let $A(n,d,w)$ that of a binary code of constant weight $w$. Building on results from algebraic graph…
We study the generalized and extended weight enumerator of the q-ary Simplex code and the q-ary first order Reed-Muller code. For our calculations we use that these codes correspond to a projective system containing all the points in a…
Numerical semigroups have been extensively studied throughout the literature, and many of their invariants have been characterized. In this work, we generalize some of the most important results about symmetry, pseudo-symmetry, or…
For the elements of a numerical semigroup which are larger than the Frobenius number, we introduce the definition of, seed, by broadening the notion of generator. This new concept allows us to explore the semigroup tree in an alternative…
We present a new algorithm to explore or count the numerical semigroups of a given genus which uses the unleaved version of the tree of numerical semigroups. In the unleaved tree there are no leaves rather than the ones at depth equal to…
In this paper we introduce a particular semigroup transform $\mathcal{A}$ that fixes the invariants involved in Wilf's conjecture, except the embedding dimension. It also allows one to arrange the set of not ordinary and not irreducible…
The generalized Hamming weights (GHWs) are fundamental parameters of linear codes. In this paper, we investigate the generalized Hamming weights of two classes of linear codes constructed from defining sets and determine them completely…
In this note, we show that {\it $\gamma$-hyperelliptic} numerical semigroups of genus $g \gg \gamma$ satisfy a refinement of a well-known characteristic weight inequality due to Torres. The refinement arises from substituting the usual…
A common tool in the theory of numerical semigroups is to interpret a desired class of semigroups as the integer lattice points in a rational polyhedron in order to leverage computational and enumerative techniques from polyhedral geometry.…
Cumulative weight enumerators of random linear codes are introduced, their asymptotic properties are studied, and very sharp thresholds are exhibited; as a consequence, it is shown that the asymptotic Gilbert-Varshamov bound is a very sharp…
We describe the asymptotic behavior of weighted factorization lengths on numerical semigroups. Our approach is geometric as opposed to analytic, explains the presence of Curry-Schoenberg B-splines as limiting distributions, and provides…
We determine de Weierstrass semigroup of a pair of certain rational points on the GK-curves. We use this semigroup to obtain two-point AG codes with better parameters than comparable one-point AG codes arising from these curves. These…
Let $p$ be a prime number. Irreducible cyclic codes of length $p^2-1$ and dimension $2$ over the integers modulo $p^h$ are shown to have exactly two nonzero Hamming weights. The construction uses the Galois ring of characteristic $p^h$ and…

We study the density of the weights of Generalized Reed--Muller codes. Let $RM_p(r,m)$ denote the code of multivariate polynomials over $\F_p$ in $m$ variables of total degree at most $r$. We consider the case of fixed degree $r$, when we…
We describe a new class of list decodable codes based on Galois extensions of function fields and present a list decoding algorithm. These codes are obtained as a result of folding the set of rational places of a function field using…
