Universal security over a network with linear network coding has been intensively studied. However, previous linear codes used for this purpose were linear over a larger field than that used on the network. In this work, we introduce new…
In 1997 Rosenthal and York defined generalized Hamming weights for convolutional codes, by regarding a convolutional code as an infinite dimensional linear code endowed with the Hamming metric. In this paper, we propose a new definition of…

In this paper, we propose primitive rateless (PR) codes. A PR code is characterized by the message length and a primitive polynomial over $\mathbf{GF}(2)$, which can generate a potentially limitless number of coded symbols. We show that…

A framework of monomial codes is considered, which includes linear codes generated by the evaluation of certain monomials. Polar and Reed-Muller codes are the two best-known representatives of such codes and can be considered as two extreme…
A lower bound on the number of uncorrectable errors of weight half the minimum distance is derived for binary linear codes satisfying some condition. The condition is satisfied by some primitive BCH codes, extended primitive BCH codes,…
In this work we study the list-decoding size of Reed-Muller codes. Given a received word and a distance parameter, we are interested in bounding the size of the list of Reed-Muller codewords that are within that distance from the received…
We present an approach to showing that a linear code is resilient to random errors. We use this approach to obtain decoding results for both transitive codes and Reed-Muller codes. We give three kinds of results about linear codes in…
When reasoning about tasks that involve large amounts of data, a common approach is to represent data items as objects in the Hamming space where operations can be done efficiently and effectively. Object similarity can then be computed by…
The classical Reed-Muller codes over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ are based on evaluations of $m$-variate polynomials of degree at most $d$ over a product set $U^m$, for some $d$ less than $|U|$. Because of their good distance properties,…
In this paper we introduce a new type of code, called projective nested cartesian code. It is obtained by the evaluation of homogeneous polynomials of a fixed degree on a certain subset of $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{F}_q)$, and they may be seen…
For a nonnegative integer $r$ and a positive integer $v$ satisfying \[ \frac{r(q-1)}{2}<v<\frac{(r+1)(q-1)}{2}, \] we define the combinatorial numbers \[ A_r(v)= \begin{cases} \displaystyle \sum_{t=r(q-1)-v}^{v}\…
Let $A(n,d)$ (respectively $A(n,d,w)$) be the maximum possible number of codewords in a binary code (respectively binary constant-weight $w$ code) of length $n$ and minimum Hamming distance at least $d$. By adding new linear constraints to…
Polar codes can be viewed as decreasing monomial codes, revealing a rich algebraic structure governed by the lower-triangular affine (LTA) group. We develop a general framework to compute the Hamming weight of codewords generated by sums of…
