Constant-dimension codes (CDCs) have been investigated for noncoherent error correction in random network coding. The maximum cardinality of CDCs with given minimum distance and how to construct optimal CDCs are both open problems, although…
In this paper, we consider the Reed-Muller (RM) codes. For the first order RM code, we prove that it is unique in the sense that any linear code with the same length, dimension and minimum distance must be the first order RM code; For the…
We generalize upper bounds for constant dimension codes containing a lifted maximum rank distance code first studied by Etzion and Silberstein. The proof allows to construct several improved codes.
We propose to study unweighted graphs of constant distance VC-dimension as a broad generalization of many graph classes for which we can compute the diameter in truly subquadratic-time. In particular for any fixed $H$, the class of…
Flag codes are multishot network codes consisting of sequences of nested subspaces (flags) of a vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, where $q$ is a prime power and $\mathbb{F}_q$, the finite field of size $q$. In this paper we study the…

In this paper, we consider the unit graph $G(\mathbb{Z}_{n})$, where $n=p_{1}^{n_{1}} \text{ or } p_{1}^{n_{1}}p_{2}^{n_{2}} \text{ or } p_{1}^{n_{1}}p_{2}^{n_{2}}p_{3}^{n_{3}}$ and $p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3}$ are distinct primes. For any prime…
Consider the Grassmann graph formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the field of $q$ elements ($1<k<n-1$) and denote by $\Pi(n,k)_q$ the restriction of this graph to the set of projective $[n,k]_q$…
Subspace designs are a (large) collection of high-dimensional subspaces $\{H_i\}$ of $\F_q^m$ such that for any low-dimensional subspace $W$, only a small number of subspaces from the collection have non-trivial intersection with $W$; more…
This paper gives new methods of constructing {\it symmetric self-dual codes} over a finite field $GF(q)$ where $q$ is a power of an odd prime. These methods are motivated by the well-known Pless symmetry codes and quadratic double circulant…
The hull of a linear code (i.e., a finite field vector space)~\({\mathcal C}\) is defined to be the vector space formed by the intersection of~\({\mathcal C}\) with its dual~\({\mathcal C}^{\perp}.\) Constructing vector spaces with a…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) have recently been widely used in distributed storage systems and the LRCs with $(r,\delta)$-locality ($(r,\delta)$-LRCs) attracted a lot of interest for tolerating multiple erasures. Ge et al. constructed…
Consider a $q$-ary block code satisfying the property that no $l$-letters long codeword's prefix occurs as a suffix of any codeword for $l$ inside some interval. We determine a general upper bound on the maximum size of these codes and a…
We consider quantum MDS (QMDS) codes for quantum systems of dimension $q$ with lengths up to $q^2+2$ and minimum distances up to $q+1$. We show how starting from QMDS codes of length $q^2+1$ based on cyclic and constacyclic codes, new QMDS…
