We study the generalized rank weight distribution of a linear code. First, we provide a MacWilliams-type identity which relates the distributions of a code and its dual. Then, we give a formula for the enumerator polynomial. Finally, we…
We classify all $q$-ary $\Delta$-divisible linear codes which are spanned by codewords of weight $\Delta$. The basic building blocks are the simplex codes, and for $q=2$ additionally the first order Reed-Muller codes and the parity check…
A self-dual binary linear code is called Type I code if it has singly-even codewords, i.e.~it has codewords with weight divisible by $2.$ The purpose of this paper is to investigate interesting properties of Type I codes of different…
The results of [1,2] on linear homogeneous two-weight codes over finite Frobenius rings are exended in two ways: It is shown that certain non-projective two-weight codes give rise to strongly regular graphs in the way described in [1,2].…
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 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…
In this paper, we construct an infinite family of five-weight codes from trace codes over the ring $R=\mathbb{F}_2+u\mathbb{F}_2$, where $u^2=0.$ The trace codes have the algebraic structure of abelian codes. Their Lee weight is computed by…
We consider a class of linear codes associated to projective algebraic varieties defined by the vanishing of minors of a fixed size of a generic matrix. It is seen that the resulting code has only a small number of distinct weights. The…
In this article, we construct linear codes over the commutative non-unital ring $I$ of size four. We obtain their Lee-weight distributions and study their binary Gray images. Under certain mild conditions, these classes of binary codes are…
We construct trace codes over $\Z_4$ by using Boolean functions and skew sets, respectively. Their Lee weight distribution is studied by using a Galois ring version of the Walsh-Hadamard transform and exponential sums. We obtain a new…
A code $C = \Phi(\mathcal{C})$ is called $\mathbb{Z}_p \mathbb{Z}_{p^2}$-linear if it's the Gray image of the $\mathbb{Z}_p \mathbb{Z}_{p^2}$-additive code $\mathcal{C}$. In this paper, the rank and the dimension of the kernel of…
Linear codes with few weights have been an interesting subject of study for many years, as these codes have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, linear codes…
In this paper, two different Gray-like maps from $Z_p^\alpha\times Z_{p^k}^\beta$, where $p$ is prime, to $Z_p^n$, $n={\alpha+\beta p^{k-1}}$, denoted by $\phi$ and $\Phi$, respectively, are presented. We have determined the connection…
We study q-ary linear codes C obtained from Veronese surfaces over finite fields. We show how one can find the higher weight spectra of these codes, or equivalently, the weight distribution of all extension codes of C over all field…
In this paper q-ary Raptor codes under ML decoding are considered. An upper bound on the probability of decoding failure is derived using the weight enumerator of the outer code, or its expected weight enumerator if the outer code is drawn…
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 study the third weight of generalized Reed-Muller codes. We prove under some restrictive condition that the third weight of generalized Reed-Muller codes depends on the third weight of generalized Reed-Muller codes of…

We develop a duality theory of locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and apply it to establish a series of new bounds on their parameters. We introduce and study a refined notion of weight distribution that captures the code's locality. Using a…
