This work develops new foundations for the theory of linear codes over local Artinian commutative rings. We use algebraic invariants such as the socle, type, length, and minimal number of generators to measure the size of codes. We prove a…

In this paper we investigate connections between linear sets and subspaces of linear maps. We give a geometric interpretation of the results of [18, Section 5] on linear sets on a projective line. We extend this to linear sets in arbitrary…

In 1962, Jesse MacWilliams published a set of formulas for linear and abelian group codes that among other applications, were incredibly valuable in the study of self-dual codes. Now called the MacWilliams Identities, her results relate the…

The weight distribution of an error correcting code is a crucial statistic in determining it's performance. One key tool for relating the weight of a code to that of it's dual is the MacWilliams Identity, first developed for the Hamming…

The MacWilliams Extension Theorem states that each linear isometry of a linear code extends to a monomial map. Unlike the linear codes, in general, additive codes do not have the extension property. In this paper, an analogue of the…

We derive an identity that relates a class of multiple integrals involving Vandermonde polynomials to divided differences. Alternatively the identity can be viewed as an integral formula for divided differences. As part of the derivation we…

In the 1960s, MacWilliams proved that the Hamming weight enumerator of a linear code over a finite field completely determines, and is determined by, the Hamming weight enumerator of its dual code. In particular, if two linear codes have…

We determine an infinite family of linear identities for the number $A_4(n)$ of partition pairs of $n$ with $4$-cores by employing elementary $q$-series techniques and certain $3$-dissection formulas. We then discover an infinite family of…

Since MacWilliams proved the original identity relating the Hamming weight enumerator of a linear code to the weight enumerator of its dual code there have been many different generalizations, leading to the development of $m$-tuple support…

A conceptual framework involving partition functions of normal factor graphs is introduced, paralleling a similar recent development by Al-Bashabsheh and Mao. The partition functions of dual normal factor graphs are shown to be a Fourier…

Some applications of a result, which is proved recently, is considered. We first prove three determinantal identities concerning the binomial coefficient and Stirling numbers of the first and the second kind. We also easily obtain the…

Error-correcting codes have an important role in data storage and transmission and in cryptography, particularly in the post-quantum era. Hermitian matrices over finite fields and equipped with the rank metric have the potential to offer…

Shearer and McEliece [1977] showed that there is no MacWilliams identity for the free distance spectra of orthogonal linear convolutional codes. We show that on the other hand there does exist a MacWilliams identity between the generating…

We search for Nicomachean identities by adding translation parameters, variable parameters, sequence products and adjoining further numbers to sequences. The solutions of definite and indefinite quadratic forms arise in this study of cubic…

Starting from the characteristic polynomial for ordinary matrices we give a combinatorial deduction of the Mandelstam identities and viceversa, thus showing that the two sets of relations are equivalent. We are able to extend this…
