We study sequences of linear or affine codes with uniform weight spectrum, i.e., a part of codewords with any fixed weight tends to zero. It is proved that a sequence of linear codes has a uniform weight spectrum if the number of vectors…
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…

We construct strongly walk-regular graphs as coset graphs of the duals of codes with three non-zero homogeneous weights over $\mathbb{Z}_{p^m},$ for $p$ a prime, and more generally over chain rings of depth $m$, and with a residue field of…
In this paper, we construct four families of linear codes over finite fields from the complements of either the union of subfields or the union of cosets of a subfield, which can produce infinite families of optimal linear codes, including…
We consider weighted Reed-Muller codes over point ensemble $S_1 \times...\times S_m$ where $S_i$ needs not be of the same size as $S_j$. For $m = 2$ we determine optimal weights and analyze in detail what is the impact of the ratio…

The generalized Hamming weights (GHWs) of linear codes are fundamental parameters, the knowledge of which is of great interest in many applications. However, to determine the GHWs of linear codes is difficult in general. In this paper, we…
In this paper we find the second generalized Hamming weight of some evaluation codes arising from a projective torus, and it allows to compute the second generalized Hamming weight of the codes parameterized by the edges of any complete…
Recently, linear codes constructed from defining sets have been studied extensively. They may have nice parameters if the defining set is chosen properly. Let $ m >2$ be a positive integer. For an odd prime $ p $, let $ r=p^m $ and…
We present a new way to encode weighted sums into unweighted pairwise constraints, obtaining the following results. - Define the k-SUM problem to be: given n integers in [-n^2k, n^2k] are there k which sum to zero? (It is well known that…
We introduce the concept of spread of a code, and we specialize it to the case of maximum weight spectrum (MWS) codes. We classify two newly-defined sub-families of MWS codes according to their weight distributions, and completely describe…
