A $q$-ary code of length $n$, size $M$, and minimum distance $d$ is called an $(n,M,d)_q$ code. An $(n,q^{k},n-k+1)_q$ code is called a maximum distance separable (MDS) code. In this work, some MDS codes over small alphabets are classified.…

Bounds on linear codes play a central role in coding theory, as they capture the fundamental trade-off between error-correction capability (minimum distance) and information rate (dimension relative to length). Classical results…
