In this paper, we defined the $Z_q$-linear codes and discussed its various parameters. We constructed $Z_q$-Simplex code and $Z_q$-MacDonald code and found its parameters. We have given a lower and an upper bounds of its covering radius for…
The weight spectra of MDS codes of length $ n $ and dimension $ k $ over the arbitrary alphabets are studied. For all $ q $-ary MDS codes of dimension $ k $ containing the zero codeword, it is shown that all $ k $ weights from $ n $ to $…
The weight distribution of second order $q$-ary Reed-Muller codes have been determined by Sloane and Berlekamp (IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, vol. IT-16, 1970) for $q=2$ and by McEliece (JPL Space Programs Summary, vol. 3, 1969) for general…
By exploiting the connection between scattered $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^3$ and minimal non degenerate $3$-dimensional rank metric codes of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^{n}$, $n \geq m+2$, described in [2], we will exhibit a new…
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…
In coding theory, a very interesting problem (but at the same time, a very difficult one) is to determine the weight distribution of a given code. This problem is even more interesting for cyclic codes, and this is so, mainly because they…
In this paper, we introduce the homogeneous weight and homogeneous Gray map over the ring $R_{q}=\mathbb{F}_{2}[u_{1},u_{2},\ldots,u_{q}]/\left\langle u_{i}^{2}=0,u_{i}u_{j}=u_{j}u_{i}\right\rangle$ for $q \geq 2$. We also consider the…
In a previous paper, we derived a recursive formula determining the weight distributions of the [n=(q^m-1)/(q-1)] Hamming code H(m,q), when (m,q-1)=1. Here q is a prime power. We note here that the formula actually holds for any positive…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and integer $n\ge 1$. Let $\ell$ be a prime such that $\ell^k|(q-1)$ for some integer $k\ge 1$ and $\mu$ be an element of order $\ell^k$ in $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we determine the…
In this paper, for any odd prime $p$ and an integer $m\ge 3$, several classes of linear codes with $t$-weight $(t=3,5,7)$ are obtained based on some defining sets, and then their complete weight enumerators are determined explicitly by…
For an odd prime $p$ and two positive integers $n\geq 3$ and $k$ with $\frac{n}{{\rm gcd}(n,k)}$ being odd, the paper determines the weight distribution of a $p$-ary cyclic code $\mathcal{C}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ with nonzeros…
A fundamental property of codes, the second-order weight distribution, is proposed to solve the problems such as computing second moments of weight distributions of linear code ensembles. A series of results, parallel to those for weight…
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…
It is well-known that Reed-Solomon codes and extended Reed-Solomon codes are two special classes of MDS codes with wide applications in practice. The complete weight enumerators of these codes are very important for determining the…
Cyclic codes are an important class of linear codes, whose weight distribution have been extensively studied. So far, most of previous results obtained were for cyclic codes with no more than three zeros. Recently, \cite{Y-X-D12}…
In this paper we define $\mathbb{Z}_{2}\mathbb{Z}_{4}-$Simplex and MacDonald Codes of type $\alpha $ and $\beta $ and we give the covering radius of these codes.
Linear codes with a few weights can be applied to secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes and strongly regular graphs. For an odd prime power $q$, we construct a class of three-weight $\F_q$-linear codes from quadratic…
We consider the $[q+1,q-3,5]_q3$ generalized doubly-extended Reed-Solomon code of codimension $4$ as the code associated with the twisted cubic in the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$. Basing on the point-plane incidence matrix of…
We develop an algorithm for computing the weight distribution of a linear $[n,k]$ code over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We represent the codes by their characteristic vector with respect to a given generator matrix and a special type of…
In this work, we determine new linear equations for the weight distribution of linear codes over finite chain rings. The identities are determined by counting the number of some special submatrices of the parity-check matrix of the code.…
