Expander (Tanner) codes combine sparse graphs with local constraints, enabling linear-time decoding and asymptotically good distance--rate tradeoffs. A standard constraint-counting argument yields the global-rate lower bound $R\ge 2r-1$ for…

A linear code is called an MDS self-dual code if it is both an MDS code and a self-dual code with respect to the Euclidean inner product. The parameters of such codes are completely determined by the code length. In this paper, we consider…

Linearized Reed-Solomon (LRS) codes are evaluation codes based on skew polynomials. They achieve the Singleton bound in the sum-rank metric and therefore are known as maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD) codes. In this work, we give necessary…
