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…
It is well known that quantum codes can be constructed by means of classical symplectic dual-containing codes. This paper considers a family of two-generator quasi-cyclic codes and derives sufficient conditions for these codes to be…
We present a construction of 1-perfect binary codes, which gives a new lower bound on the number of such codes. We conjecture that this lower bound is asymptotically tight.
A constant weight binary code consists of $n$-bit binary codewords, each with exactly $w$ bits equal to 1, such that any two codewords are at least Hamming distance $d$ apart. $A(n,d,w)$ is the maximum size of a constant weight binary code…
Shimada and Zhang studied the existence of polarizations on some supersingular $K3$ surfaces by reducing the existence of the polarizations to that of ternary $[12,5]$ codes satisfying certain conditions. In this note, we give a…
Upper and lower bounds on the largest number of weights in a cyclic code of given length, dimension and alphabet are given. An application to irreducible cyclic codes is considered. Sharper upper bounds are given for the special cyclic…
In the past few years, linear codes with few weights and their weight analysis have been widely studied. In this paper, we further investigate a class of two-weight or three-weight linear codes from defining sets and determine their weight…
We consider codes over the two semi-local non-unital rings of order six, \[ H_{23} = \langle a,b \mid 2a=0, 3b = 0, a^2=a, b^2 = 0, ab = 0 = ba \rangle,\] and \[H_{32} = \langle a,b \mid 2a=0, 3b = 0, a^2=0, b^2 = b, ab = 0 = ba \rangle. \]…
In this paper non-trivial non-linear binary systematic AMDS codes are classified in terms of their weight distributions, employing only elementary techniques. In particular, we show that their length and minimum distance completely…
Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, monomials and trinomials over…
Binary linear codes are constructed from graphs, in particular, by the generator matrix $[I_n|A]$ where $A$ is the adjacency matrix of a graph on $n$ vertices. A combinatorial interpretation of the minimum distance of such codes is given.…
The minimum distance of all binary linear codes with dimension at most eight is known. The smallest open case for dimension nine is length $n=46$ with known bounds $19\le d\le 20$. Here we present a $[46,9,20]_2$ code and show its…
A Type IV-II Z4-code is a self-dual code over Z4 with the property that all Euclidean weights are divisible by eight and all codewords have even Hamming weight. In this paper we use generalized bent functions for a construction of…
Let $\mathbb{F}_{2^m}$ be a finite field of cardinality $2^m$, $R=\mathbb{F}_{2^m}+u\mathbb{F}_{2^m}$ $(u^2=0)$ and $s,n$ be positive integers such that $n$ is odd. In this paper, we give an explicit representation for every self-dual…

We prove configuration results for extremal Type II codes, analogous to the configuration results of Ozeki and of the second author for extremal Type II lattices. Specifically, we show that for $n \in \{8, 24, 32, 48, 56, 72, 96\}$ every…
Linear codes are considered over the ring Z_4+uZ_4, a non-chain extension of Z_4. Lee weights, Gray maps for these codes are defined and MacWilliams identities for the complete, symmetrized and Lee weight enumerators are proved. Two…
The maximum number of edges in a graph with matching number m and maximum degree d has been determined in [1] and [2], where some extremal graphs have also been provided. Then, a new question has emerged: how the maximum edge count is…
Recently, there has been intensive research on the weight distributions of cyclic codes. In this paper, we compute the weight distributions of three classes of cyclic codes with Niho exponents. More specifically, we obtain two classes of…
We prove that a putative $[72,36,16]$ code is not the image of linear code over $\ZZ_4$, $\FF_2 + u \FF_2$ or $\FF_2+v\FF_2$, thus proving that the extremal doubly even $[72,36,16]$-binary code cannot have an automorphism group containing a…
