Coding Theory where the alphabet is identified with the elements of a ring or a module has become an important research topic over the last 30 years. Such codes over rings had important applications and many interesting mathematical…
We describe the higher weights of the Grassmann codes $G(2,m)$ over finite fields ${\mathbb F}_q$ in terms of properties of Schubert unions, and in each case we determine the weight as the minimum of two explicit polynomial expressions in…
We consider codes defined over an affine algebra $\mathcal A=R[X_1,\dots,X_r]/\left\langle t_1(X_1),\dots,t_r(X_r)\right\rangle$, where $t_i(X_i)$ is a monic univariate polynomial over a finite commutative chain ring $R$. Namely, we study…
This note presents a descending method that allows us to classify quotients of Reed-Muller codes of lenghth 128 under the action of the affine general linear group.
In [4] we describe a variation of the classical permutation decoding algorithm that can be applied to any binary affine-invariant code; in particular, it can be applied to first-order Reed-Muller codes successfully. In this paper we study…
We develop an algebraic theory of supports for $R$-linear codes of fixed length, where $R$ is a finite commutative unitary ring. A support naturally induces a notion of generalized weights and allows one to associate a monomial ideal to a…
In the past few years, linear codes with few weights and their weight analysis have been widely studied. In this paper, we further investigate a class of two-weight or three-weight linear codes from defining sets and determine their weight…
In this work we show how to get advantage from the Riemann--Hilbert analysis in order to obtain information about the matrix orthogonal polynomials and functions of second kind associated with a weight matrix. We deduce properties for the…
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…
Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of prime $p$. A polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ is square-free if all its monomials are square-free. In this note, we determine an upper bound on the number of…
A systematic way of constructing Grassmannian codes endowed with the subspace distance as lifts of matrix codes over the prime field $GF(p)$ is introduced. The matrix codes are $GF(p)$-subspaces of the ring $M_2(GF(p))$ of $2 \times 2$…
This is the second paper in our series of five in which we test the Master Constraint Programme for solving the Hamiltonian constraint in Loop Quantum Gravity. In this work we begin with the simplest examples: Finite dimensional models with…
In 1970 Delsarte, Goethals and Mac Williams published a seminal paper on generalized Reed-Muller codes where, among many important results, they proved that the minimal weight codewords of these codes are obtained through the evaluation of…
In this paper we give the second weight codewords of the generalized Reed-Muller code of order r and length $q^m$.
Linear codes with a few weights have been widely investigated in recent years. In this paper, we mainly use Gauss sums to represent the Hamming weights of a class of $q$-ary linear codes under some certain conditions, where $q$ is a power…
In this work, we explore the relationship between free resolution of some monomial ideals and Generalized Hamming Weights (GHWs) of binary codes. More precisely, we look for a structure smaller than the set of codewords of minimal support…
The generalized Hamming weights of a linear code have been extensively studied since Wei first use them to characterize the cryptography performance of a linear code over the wire-tap channel of type II. In this paper, we investigate the…
The results of [1,2] on linear homogeneous two-weight codes over finite Frobenius rings are exended in two ways: It is shown that certain non-projective two-weight codes give rise to strongly regular graphs in the way described in [1,2].…
The study of the generalized Hamming weight of linear codes is a significant research topic in coding theory as it conveys the structural information of the codes and determines their performance in various applications. However,…
We define and study a class of Reed-Muller type error-correcting codes obtained from elementary symmetric functions in finitely many variables. We determine the code parameters and higher weight spectra in the simplest cases.
