In this paper we study the family of cyclic codes such that its minimum distance reaches the maximum of its BCH bounds. We also show a way to construct cyclic codes with that property by means of computations of some divisors of a…

We introduce in this article a new method to estimate the minimum distance of codes from algebraic surfaces. This lower bound is generic, i.e. can be applied to any surface, and turns out to be ``liftable'' under finite morphisms, paving…

Motivated by applications in combinatorial design theory and constructing LCD codes, C. Ding et al \cite{DLX} introduced cyclic codes $\mho(q,m,h)$ and $\bar\mho(q,m,h)$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ as new generalization and version of the punctured…

The length function $\ell_q(r,R)$ is the smallest length of a $q$-ary linear code of codimension (redundancy) $r$ and covering radius $R$. The $d$-length function $\ell_q(r,R,d)$ is the smallest length of a $q$-ary linear code with…

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…

Quasi-cyclic codes have been recently employed in the constructions of quantum error-correcting codes. In this paper, we propose a construction of infinite families of quasi-cyclic codes over $\F_q$ which are self-orthogonal with respect to…

A subspace code is a nonempty set of subspaces of a vector space $\mathbb F^n_q$. Linear codes with complementary duals, or LCD codes, are linear codes whose intersection with their duals is trivial. In this paper, we introduce a notion of…

For a high-rate case, it is difficult to randomly construct good low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes of short and moderate lengths because their Tanner graphs are prone to making short cycles. Also, the existing high-rate quasi-cyclic…
