In this paper we study the algebraic-geometry of any one-point code on the Hermitian curve. Moreover, we characterize the minimum-weight codewords of some of their dual codes and describe many their small-weight codewords.
In this paper we present a geometrical characterization for the minimum-weight codewords of the Hermitian codes over the fields $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ in the third and fourth phase, namely with distance $d \geq q^2-q$. We consider the unique…
We discuss a class of binary cyclic codes and their dual codes. The minimum distance is determined using algebraic geometry, and an application of Weil's theorem. We relate the weights appearing in the dual codes to the number of rational…
We characterise the minimum weight codewords of the $p$-ary linear code of intersecting lines in ${\rm PG}(3,q)$, $q=p^h$, $q\geq19$, $p$ prime, $h\geq 1$. If $q$ is even, the minimum weight equals $q^3+q^2+q+1$. If $q$ is odd, the minimum…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be the Hermitian curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. In this paper we complete the geometrical characterization of the supports of the minimum-weight codewords of the algebraic-geometry codes over…
For any affine-variety code we show how to construct an ideal whose solutions correspond to codewords with any assigned weight. We classify completely the intersections of the Hermitian curve with lines and parabolas (in the…
We study the minimum number of minimal codewords in linear codes from the point of view of projective geometry. We derive bounds and in some cases determine the exact values. We also present an extension to minimal subcode supports.
In this paper we study the algebraic geometry of any two-point code on the Hermitian curve and reveal the purely geometric nature of their dual minimum distance. We describe the minimum-weight codewords of many of their dual codes through…
Linear complementary dual codes (or codes with complementary duals) are codes whose intersections with their dual codes are trivial. We study the largest minimum weight $d(n,k)$ among all binary linear complementary dual $[n,k]$ codes. We…

We investigate small weight code words of the $p$-ary linear code $\mathcal C_{j,k}(n,q)$ generated by the incidence matrix of $k$-spaces and $j$-spaces of PG$(n,q)$ and its dual, with $q$ a prime power and $0 \leq j < k < n$. Firstly, we…
The $p$-ary code associated with the incidence structure of points and $t$-spaces in a projective space $\mathrm{PG}(m,q)$, where $q=p^h$, is the $\mathbb{F}_p$-subspace generated by the incidence vectors of the blocks of this design. The…
In this paper we focus our attention on a family of finite geometry codes, called type-I projective geometry low-density parity-check (PG-LDPC) codes, that are constructed based on the projective planes PG{2,q). In particular, we study…
In [9], the codewords of small weight in the dual code of the code of points and lines of Q(4, q) are characterised. Inspired by this result, using geometrical arguments, we characterise the codewords of small weight in the dual code of the…
We improve previously known lower bounds for the minimum distance of certain two-point AG codes constructed using a Generalized Giulietti-Korchmaros curve (GGK). Castellanos and Tizziotti recently described such bounds for two-point codes…
