Irreducible cyclic codes are an interesting type of codes and have applications in space communications. They have been studied for decades and a lot of progress has been made. The objectives of this paper are to survey and extend earlier…
Two general constructions of linear codes with functions over finite fields have been extensively studied in the literature. The first one is given by $\mathcal{C}(f)=\left\{ {\rm Tr}(af(x)+bx)_{x \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}^*}: a,b \in…
An important family of codes for data storage systems, cryptography, consumer electronics, and network coding for error control in digital communications are the so-called cyclic codes. This kind of linear codes are also important due to…
In this work, we study the DNA codes from the ring R = Z4 + wZ4, where w^2 = 2+2w with 16 elements. We establish a one to one correspondence between the elements of the ring R and all the DNA codewords of length 2 by defining a…
A linear code is said to be $\Delta$-divisible if the Hamming weights of all its codewords are divisible by $\Delta$. The $p$-adic valuation of a code is defined as the greatest integer $t$ such that the code is $p^t$-divisible. In this…
We make connections of a counting problem of Eulerian cycles for undirected graphs to homological spectral graph theory, and formulate explicitly a trace formula that identifies the number of Eulerian circuits on an Eulerian graph with the…

The weighted-Hamming metric generalizes the Hamming metric by assigning different weights to blocks of coordinates. It is well-suited for applications such as coding over independent parallel channels, each of which has a different level of…
Based on cyclic simplex codes, a new construction of a family of 2-generator quasi-cyclic two-weight codes is given. New optimal binary quasi-cyclic [195, 8, 96], [210, 8, 104] and [240, 8, 120] codes, good QC ternary [195, 6, 126], [208,…
The interplay between coding theory and $t$-designs has attracted a lot of attention for both directions. It is well known that the supports of all codewords with a fixed weight in a code may hold a $t$-design. In this paper, by determining…
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…
In order to understand the performance of a code under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding, one studies the codewords, in particular the minimal codewords, and their Hamming weights. In the context of linear programming (LP) decoding, one's…
Three classes of binary linear codes with at most four nonzero weights were constructed in this paper, in which two of them are projective three-weight codes. As applications, $s$-sum sets for any odd $ s > 1$ were constructed.
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, a class of three-weight…
Chunked codes are efficient random linear network coding (RLNC) schemes with low computational cost, where the input packets are encoded into small chunks (i.e., subsets of the coded packets). During the network transmission, RLNC is…
A convolutional code $\C$ over $\ZZ[D]$ is a $\ZZ[D]$-submodule of $\ZZN[D]$ where $\ZZ[D]$ stands for the ring of polynomials with coefficients in $\ZZ$. In this paper, we study the list decoding problem of these codes when the…
Latroids were introduced by Vertigan, who associated a latroid to a linear block code and showed that its Tutte polynomial determines the weight enumerator of the code. We associate a latroid to a code over a ring or a field endowed with a…
