We define generalized Hamming weights for almost affine codes. We show how various aspects and applications of generalized Hamming weights for linear codes, such as Wei duality, generalized Kung's bound, profiles, connection to wire-tap…
A generic construction of linear codes over finite fields has recently received a lot of attention, and many one-weight, two-weight and three-weight codes with good error correcting capability have been produced with this generic approach.…
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…
Using theoretical results about the homogeneous weights for Frobenius rings, we describe the homogeneous weight for the ring family $R_k$, a recently introduced family of Frobenius rings which have been used extensively in coding theory. We…
We give formulas, in terms of graph theoretical invariants, for the minimum distance and the generalized Hamming weights of the linear code generated by the rows of the incidence matrix of a signed graph over a finite field, and for those…
In coding theory, a very interesting problem (but at the same time, a very difficult one) is to determine the weight distribution of a given code. This problem is even more interesting for cyclic codes, and this is so, mainly because they…
In \cite{shi2022few-weight}, Shi and Li studied $\mathcal{C}_D$-codes over the ring $\mathcal{R}:=\mathbb{F}_2[x,y]/\langle x^2, y^2, xy-yx\rangle$ and their binary Gray images, where $D$ is derived using certain simplicial complexes. We…

In this paper, a class of two-weight and three-weight linear codes over $\gf(p)$ is constructed, and their application in secret sharing is investigated. Some of the linear codes obtained are optimal in the sense that they meet certain…
We propose a unified theory of generalized weights for linear codes endowed with an arbitrary distance. Instead of relying on supports or anticodes, the weights of a code are defined via the intersections of the code with a chosen family of…
In this paper, we consider some structures of linear codes over the ring $\mathcal{R}_k=R[v_1,\dots,v_k],$ where $v_i^2=v_i$ forall $i=1,\dots,k),$ and $R$ is a finite commutative Frobenius ring.
Linear codes have been an interesting subject of study for many years, as linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, a class of…
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 paper, we apply two-to-one functions over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ in two generic constructions of binary linear codes. We consider two-to-one functions in two forms: (1) generalized quadratic functions; and (2) $\left(x^{2^t}+x\right)^e$…
In this paper, we first introduce the notion of generalized pair weights of an $[n, k]$-linear code over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ and the notion of pair $r$-equiweight codes, where $1\le r\le k-1$. Some basic properties of…
The determination of weight distribution of cyclic codes involves evaluation of Gauss sums and exponential sums. Despite of some cases where a neat expression is available, the computation is generally rather complicated. In this note, we…
Given a finite directed graph with $n$ vertices, we define a metric $d_G$ on $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is the finite field with $q$ elements. The weight of a word is defined as the number of vertices that can be reached by a…
We construct strongly walk-regular graphs as coset graphs of the duals of codes with three non-zero homogeneous weights over $\mathbb{Z}_{p^m},$ for $p$ a prime, and more generally over chain rings of depth $m$, and with a residue field of…
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…
In this work, we define composite matrices which are derived from group rings. We extend the idea of G-codes to composite G-codes. We show that these codes are ideals in a group ring, where the ring is a finite commutative Frobenius ring…
