Weak superimposed codes are combinatorial structures related closely to generalized cover-free families, superimposed codes, and disjunct matrices in that they are only required to satisfy similar but less stringent conditions. This class…
Goppa codes form an important class of alternant codes with wide applications in algebraic coding theory and code-based cryptography. Determining the true minimum distance of a Goppa code is a difficult problem. In this paper, we provide a…

Tight $2 s$-designs are the $2 s$-$(v, k, \lambda)$ designs whose sizes achieve the Fisher type lower bound ${v \choose s}$. Symmetric $2$-designs, the Witt $4$-$(23, 7, 1)$ design and the Witt $4$-$(23, 16, 52)$ design are tight designs.…

We obtain new linear programming (LP) and constructive bounds for the covering radius of binary orthogonal arrays of strength $2k$. Our LP bounds develop in two alternative scenarios. First, if a point $y \in F_2^n$, where the covering…
Almost difference sets have emerged as a fascinating and important area of research as they can produce functions with optimal nonlinearity, cyclic codes, and binary sequences with optimal autocorrelation. This study aims to investigate the…
In this paper, we obtain a number of new infinite families of Hadamard matrices. Our constructions are based on four new constructions of difference families with four or eight blocks. By applying the Wallis-Whiteman array or the Kharaghani…
Maximum scattered subspaces are not only objects of intrinsic interest in finite geometry but also powerful tools for the construction of MRD-codes, projective two-weight codes, and strongly regular graphs. In 2018 Csajb\'ok, Marino,…
