We consider additive codes over GF(4) that are self-dual with respect to the Hermitian trace inner product. Such codes have a well-known interpretation as quantum codes and correspond to isotropic systems. It has also been shown that these…
We introduce a consistent and efficient method to construct self-dual codes over $GF(q)$ with symmetric generator matrices from a self-dual code over $GF(q)$ of smaller length where $q \equiv 1 \pmod 4$. Using this method, we improve the…
V. Guruswami and N. Resch prove that the list decodability of $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear rank metric codes is as good as that of random rank metric codes in~\cite{venkat2017}. Due to the potential applications of self-orthogonal rank metric…
In this article, the effective lengths of all $q^r$-divisible linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with a non-negative integer $r$ are determined. For that purpose, the $S_q(r)$-adic expansion of an integer $n$ is introduced. It is shown that…
A flag $C_0 \subsetneq C_1 \cdots \subsetneq C_s \subsetneq {\mathbb F}_q^n $ of linear codes is said to be self-orthogonal if the duals of the codes in the flag satisfy $C_{i}^\perp=C_{s-i}$, and it is said to satisfy the isometry-dual…
Self-orthogonal codes are an important subclass of linear codes which have nice applications in quantum codes and lattices. It is known that a binary linear code is self-orthogonal if its every codeword has weight divisible by four, and a…
The Gilbert-Varshamov bound states that the maximum size A_2(n,d) of a binary code of length n and minimum distance d satisfies A_2(n,d) >= 2^n/V(n,d-1) where V(n,d) stands for the volume of a Hamming ball of radius d. Recently Jiang and…
In this note, a class of error-correcting codes is associated to a toric variety associated to a fan defined over a finite field $\fff_q$, analogous to the class of Goppa codes associated to a curve. For such a ``toric code'' satisfying…
Self-dual double circulant codes of odd dimension are shown to be dihedral in even characteristic and consta-dihedral in odd characteristic. Exact counting formulae are derived for them and used to show they contain families of codes with…
Let $q=p^m$ be a prime power and $e$ be an integer with $0\leq e\leq m-1$. $e$-Galois self-dual codes are generalizations of Euclidean $(e=0)$ and Hermitian ($e=\frac{m}{2}$ with even $m$) self-dual codes. In this paper, for a linear code…
Self-orthogonal codes are of interest as they have important applications in quantum codes, lattices and many areas. In this paper, based on the weakly regular plateaued functions or plateaued Boolean functions, we construct a family of…
We prove that there exist non-linear binary cyclic codes that attain the Gilbert-Varshamov bound.
In this paper, we investigate the existence and asymptotic property of self-dual $2$-quasi negacyclic codes of length $2n$ over a finite field of cardinality $q$. When $n$ is odd, we show that the $q$-ary self-dual $2$-quasi negacyclic…
This paper has been withdrawn since a Gilbert-Varshamov bound for general quantum codes has already appeared in Ekert and Macchiavello, Prys. Rev. Lett. 77, p. 2585, and a Gilbert-Varshamov bound for stabilizer codes connected with…
Galois self-orthogonal (SO) codes are generalizations of Euclidean and Hermitian SO codes. Algebraic geometry (AG) codes are the first known class of linear codes exceeding the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. Both of them have attracted much…
Split group codes are a class of group algebra codes over an abelian group. They were introduced in 2000 by Ding, Kohel and Ling as a generalization of the cyclic duadic codes. For a prime power q and an abelian group G of order n such that…
Self-dual codes are important because many of the best codes known are of this type and they have a rich mathematical theory. Topics covered in this survey include codes over F_2, F_3, F_4, F_q, Z_4, Z_m, shadow codes, weight enumerators,…
Motivated by Xing's method [7], we show that there exist [n,k,d] linear Hermitian codes over F_{q^2} with k+d>=n-3 for all sufficiently large q. This improves the asymptotic bound of Algebraic-Geometry codes from Hermitian curves given in…
This paper explores extremal self-dual double circulant (DC) codes and linear complementary dual (LCD) codes of arbitrary length over the Galois field $\mathbb F_2$. We establish the sufficient and necessary conditions for DC codes and…
Self-dual and complementary dual cyclic/abelian codes over finite fields form important classes of linear codes that have been extensively studied due to their rich algebraic structures and wide applications. In this paper, abelian codes…
