Universal security over a network with linear network coding has been intensively studied. However, previous linear codes and code pairs used for this purpose were linear over a larger field than that used on the network, which restricts…

This paper presents a new explicit construction for locally repairable codes (LRCs) for distributed storage systems which possess all-symbols locality and maximal possible minimum distance, or equivalently, can tolerate the maximal number…

We study the structure of anticodes in the sum-rank metric for arbitrary fields and matrix blocks of arbitrary sizes. Our main result is a complete classification of optimal linear anticodes. We also compare the cardinality of the ball in…

In this paper, we study the order of a maximal clique in an amply regular graph with a fixed smallest eigenvalue by considering a vertex that is adjacent to some (but not all) vertices of the maximal clique. As a consequence, we show that…

This paper presents a deterministic, strongly polynomial time algorithm for computing the matrix rank for a class of symbolic matrices (whose entries are polynomials over a field). This class was introduced, in a different language, by…

Two-weight linear codes are linear codes in which any nonzero codeword can have only two possible distinct weights. Those in the Hamming metric have proven to be very interesting for their connections with authentication codes, association…

We study monomial-Cartesian codes (MCCs) which can be regarded as $(r,\delta)$-locally recoverable codes (LRCs). These codes come with a natural bound for their minimum distance and we determine those giving rise to $(r,\delta)$-optimal…

In this paper we consider self-dual NRT-codes, that is, self-dual codes in the metric space endowed with the Niederreiter-Rosenbloom-Tsfasman (NRT-metric). We use polynomial invariant theory to describe the shape enumerator of a binary…

Testing mutual independence for high-dimensional observations is a fundamental statistical challenge. Popular tests based on linear and simple rank correlations are known to be incapable of detecting non-linear, non-monotone relationships,…

Sum-rank-metric codes have wide applications in universal error correction, multishot network coding, space-time coding and the construction of partial-MDS codes for repair in distributed storage. Fundamental properties of sum-rank-metric…

This paper examines the $w$-weight enumerators of weights $w$ with maximal symmetry over finite chain rings and matrix rings over finite fields. In many cases, including the homogeneous weight, the MacWilliams identities for $w$-weight…

Maximum rank distance codes denoted MRD-codes are the equivalent in rank metric of MDS-codes. Given any integer $q$ power of a prime and any integer $n$ there is a family of MRD-codes of length $n$ over $\FF{q^n}$ having polynomial-time…

Estimating the linear dimensionality of a data set in the presence of noise is a common problem. However, data may also be corrupted by monotone nonlinear distortion that preserves the ordering of matrix entries but causes linear methods…

We analyze the list-decodability, and related notions, of random linear codes. This has been studied extensively before: there are many different parameter regimes and many different variants. Previous works have used complementary styles…

Gleason's 1970 theorem on weight enumerators of self-dual codes has played a crucial role for research in coding theory during the last four decades. Plenty of generalizations have been proved but, to our knowledge, they are all based on…

Two skew cyclic codes can be equivalent for the Hamming metric only if they have the same length, and only the zero code is degenerate. The situation is completely different for the rank metric, where lengths of codes correspond to the…
