We consider some $q$-series which depend on a pair of positive integers $(k,m)$. While positivity of these series holds for the first few values of $(k,m)$, the situation is quite unclear for other values of $(k,m)$. In addition, our series…
For a nonnegative integer $r$ and a positive integer $v$ satisfying \[ \frac{r(q-1)}{2}<v<\frac{(r+1)(q-1)}{2}, \] we define the combinatorial numbers \[ A_r(v)= \begin{cases} \displaystyle \sum_{t=r(q-1)-v}^{v}\…
In this paper we study the following problem: Discrete partitioning problem (DPP): Let $\mathbb{F}_q P^n$ denote the $n$-dimensional finite projective space over $\mathbb{F}_q$. For positive integer $k \leq n$, let $\{ A^i\}_{i=1}^N$ be a…
The notion of good integers, namely the divisors of the sequence $(a^s+b^s)_{s\ge 1}$ for nonzero coprime integers $a$ and $b$, together with their subfamilies such as oddly-good and evenly-good integers, has become an important arithmetic…
The set of all subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ is denoted by $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$. The subspace distance $d_S(X,Y) = \dim(X)+ \dim(Y) - 2\dim(X \cap Y)$ defined on $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$ turns it into a natural coding space for error correction in…
A linearized polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb F_{q^n}[x]$ is called scattered if for any $y,z\in\mathbb F_{q^n}$, the condition $zf(y)-yf(z)=0$ implies that $y$ and $z$ are $\mathbb F_{q}$-linearly dependent. In this paper two generalizations of…
Given a positive integer $n$ and a partition $(n_1,\ldots,n_r)$ of $n$, one can consider the associated $n$-dimensional multiprojective space $\mathbb{P}^{n_1}\times \cdots \times \mathbb{P}^{n_r}$. These multiprojective spaces are…
Let $(R,\mm,K)$ be a regular local ring containing a field $k$ such that either char $k=0$ or char $k=p$ and tr-deg $K/\BF_p\geq 1$. Let $g_1,\ldots,g_t$ be regular parameters of $R$ which are linearly independent modulo $\mm^2$. Let…
In [2] and [19] are presented the first two families of maximum scattered $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear sets of the projective line $\mathrm{PG}(1,q^n)$. More recently in [23] and in [5], new examples of maximum scattered $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces…
Let $q$ be an odd prime power and let $X(m,q)$ be the set of symmetric bilinear forms on an $m$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$. The partition of $X(m,q)$ induced by the action of the general linear group gives rise to a…
Subfield codes of linear codes over finite fields have recently received much attention. Some of these codes are optimal and have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes and association schemes. In this paper, the $q$-ary…
We consider the problem of coded distributed computing where a large linear computational job, such as a matrix multiplication, is divided into $k$ smaller tasks, encoded using an $(n,k)$ linear code, and performed over $n$ distributed…
This paper gives a construction of group divisible designs on the binary extension fields with block sizes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively, which is motivated from the decoding of binary quadratic residue codes. A conjecture is proposed for…
Let $F^n$ be the binary $n$-cube, or binary Hamming space of dimension $n$, endowed with the Hamming distance, and ${\cal E}^n$ (respectively, ${\cal O}^n$) the set of vectors with even (respectively, odd) weight. For $r\geq 1$ and $x\in…
In this paper we completely characterize the words with second minimum weight in the $p-$ary linear code generated by the rows of the incidence matrix of points and hyperplanes of $PG(n,q)$, with $q=p^h$ and $p$ prime, proving that they are…
Let the columns of a $p \times q$ matrix $M$ over any ring be partitioned into $n$ blocks, $M = [M_1, ..., M_n]$. If no $p \times p$ submatrix of $M$ with columns from distinct blocks $M_i$ is invertible, then there is an invertible $p…
For $g\geq2$, $j=1,\dots,g$ and $n\geq g+j$ we exhibit infinitely many new rigid and extremal effective codimension $j$ cycles in $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$ from the strata of quadratic differentials and projections of these strata…
In this paper, for an odd prime power $q$, we extend the construction of Xie et al. \cite{XOYM2023} to propose two classes of linear codes $\mathcal{C}_{Q}$ and $\mathcal{C}_{Q}'$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with at most four…
In this article, we investigate properties of cyclic codes over a finite non-chain ring $\mathbb{F}_q+v\mathbb{F}_q+v^2\mathbb{F}_q+v^3\mathbb{F}_q+v^4\mathbb{F}_q,$ where $q=p^r,$ $r$ is a positive integer, $p$ is an odd prime, $4 \mid…
An asymmetric binary covering code of length n and radius R is a subset C of the n-cube Q_n such that every vector x in Q_n can be obtained from some vector c in C by changing at most R 1's of c to 0's, where R is as small as possible.…
