A linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with the Hamming metric is called $\Delta$-divisible if the weights of all codewords are divisible by $\Delta$. They have been introduced by Harold Ward a few decades ago. Applications include subspace…

Linear codes are considered over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_4+v\mathbb{Z}_4$, where $v^2=v$. Gray weight, Gray maps for linear codes are defined and MacWilliams identity for the Gray weight enumerator is given. Self-dual codes, construction of…

To each linear code over a finite field we associate the matroid of its parity check matrix. We show to what extent one can determine the generalized Hamming weights of the code (or defined for a matroid in general) from various sets of…

In 1997 Rosenthal and York defined generalized Hamming weights for convolutional codes, by regarding a convolutional code as an infinite dimensional linear code endowed with the Hamming metric. In this paper, we propose a new definition of…

Minimal codes are linear codes where all non-zero codewords are minimal, i.e., whose support is not properly contained in the support of another codeword. The minimum possible length of such a $k$-dimensional linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$…

We construct a class of linear codes by choosing a proper defining set and determine their complete weight enumerators and weight enumerators. The results show that they are at most three-weight codes and they are suitable for applications…

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…

We initiate a study of varieties of minimal degree in weighted projective spaces. We call a weighted projective space $\mathbf{P}(w_0,\dots,w_n)$ divisible if $w_i \mid w_{i+1}$ for all $i$. We provide sharp bounds for when a non-degenerate…

We discuss a class of binary cyclic codes and their dual codes. The minimum distance is determined using algebraic geometry, and an application of Weil's theorem. We relate the weights appearing in the dual codes to the number of rational…

In this work, we explore the relationship between free resolution of some monomial ideals and Generalized Hamming Weights (GHWs) of binary codes. More precisely, we look for a structure smaller than the set of codewords of minimal support…

The determination of weight distribution of cyclic codes involves evaluation of Gauss sums and exponential sums. Despite of some cases where a neat expression is available, the computation is generally rather complicated. In this note, we…
