Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are very important in both theory and practice. There is a classical construction of a family of $[2^m+1, 2u-1, 2^m-2u+3]$ MDS codes for $1 \leq u \leq 2^{m-1}$, which are cyclic, reversible and BCH…

It is shown that the maximum size of a binary subspace code of packet length $v=6$, minimum subspace distance $d=4$, and constant dimension $k=3$ is $M=77$; in Finite Geometry terms, the maximum number of planes in $\operatorname{PG}(5,2)$…

Let p>3 be an odd prime and m be a positive integer. Little progress on the study of optimal p-ary cyclic codes with parameters [p^m-1,p^m-2m-2,4] has been made.In this paper, by weakening the necessary and sufficient conditions on cyclic…
We improve on the lower bound of the maximum number of planes of ${\rm PG}(8,q)$ mutually intersecting in at most one point leading to the following lower bound: ${\cal A}_q(9, 4; 3) \ge q^{12}+2q^8+2q^7+q^6+q^5+q^4+1$ for constant…
We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct deletions that are localized within a certain part of the codeword that is unknown a priori. Namely, the model that we study is when at most $k$ deletions occur in a window of…
Binary optimal codes often contain optimal or near-optimal subcodes. In this paper we show that this is true for the family of self-dual codes. One approach is to compute the optimum distance profiles (ODPs) of linear codes, which was…

In a lossless compression system with target lengths, a compressor ${\cal C}$ maps an integer $m$ and a binary string $x$ to an $m$-bit code $p$, and if $m$ is sufficiently large, a decompressor ${\cal D}$ reconstructs $x$ from $p$. We call…
