Linear codes with a few weights are very important in coding theory and have attracted a lot of attention. In this paper, we present a construction of $q$-ary linear codes from trace and norm functions over finite fields. The weight…
Recently, many good quantum codes over various finite fields $F_q$ have been constructed from codes over extension rings or mixed alphabet rings via some version of a Gray map. We show that most of these codes can be obtained more directly…
Consider a sequence of bit strings of length d, such that each string differs from the next in a constant number of bits. We call this sequence a quasi-Gray code. We examine the problem of efficiently generating such codes, by considering…

We present an encoding and decoding scheme for constant weight sequences, that is, given an information sequence, the construction results in a sequence of specific weight within a certain range. The scheme uses a prefix design that is…
We consider a special type of integer partitions in which the parts of the form $p^aq^b$, for some relatively prime integers $p$ and $q$, are restricted by divisibility conditions. We investigate the problems of generating and encoding…
We introduce a new construction for the balancing of non-binary sequences that make use of Gray codes for prefix coding. Our construction provides full encoding and decoding of sequences, including the prefix. This construction is based on…
A Gray code for a combinatorial class is a method for listing the objects in the class so that successive objects differ in some prespecified, small way, typically expressed as a bounded Hamming distance. In a previous work, the authors of…
In this paper we introduce a natural mathematical structure derived from Samuel Beckett's play "Quad". We call this structure a binary Beckett-Gray code. We enumerate all codes for $n \leq 6$ and give examples for $n=7,8$. Beckett-Gray…
Quaternary code (QC) designs form an attractive class of nonregular factorial fractions. We develop a complementary set theory for characterizing optimal QC designs that are highly fractionated in the sense of accommodating a large number…
Many $q$-ary stabilizer quantum codes can be constructed from Hermitian self-orthogonal $q^2$-ary linear codes. This result can be generalized to $q^{2 m}$-ary linear codes, $m > 1$. We give a result for easily obtaining quantum codes from…
Given a parity-check matrix $H_m$ of a $q$-ary Hamming code, we consider a partition of the columns into two subsets. Then, we consider the two codes that have these submatrices as parity-check matrices. We say that anyone of these two…
We consider the following combinatorial question. Let $$ S_0 \subset S_1 \subset S_2 \subset ...\subset S_m $$ be nested sets, where #$(S_i) = i$. A move consists of altering one of the sets $S_i$, $1 \le i \le m-1$, in a manner so that the…
Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes with arbitrary lengths over the ring $\mathbb{F}_{q}+u\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $u^2=0$, $q=p^n$, $n$ a positive integer and $p$ a prime number, are investigated. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem,…
q-ary cumulative-separable $\Gamma(L,G^{(j)})$-codes $L=\{ \alpha \in GF(q^{m}):G(\alpha )\neq 0 \}$ and $G^{(j)}(x)=G(x)^{j}, 1 \leq i\leq q$ are considered. The relation between different codes from this class is demonstrated. Improved…

Following the approach by R. K\"otter and F. R. Kschischang, we study network codes as families of k-dimensional linear subspaces of a vector space F_q^n, q being a prime power and F_q the finite field with q elements. In particular,…
