We prove that for any positive integers $n$ and $k$ such that $n\!\geq\! k\!\geq\! 1$, there exists an $[n,k]$ generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) code that has a sparsest and balanced generator matrix (SBGM) over any finite field of size…

In a recent paper, Brakensiek, Gopi and Makam introduced higher order MDS codes as a generalization of MDS codes. An order-$\ell$ MDS code, denoted by $\operatorname{MDS}(\ell)$, has the property that any $\ell$ subspaces formed from…
In this paper, we obtain some new results on the existence of MDS self-dual codes utilizing (extended) generalized Reed-Solomon codes over finite fields of odd characteristic. For some fixed $q$, our results can produce more classes of MDS…
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…
We present a new general construction of MDS codes over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We describe two explicit subclasses which contain new MDS codes of length at least $q/2$ for all values of $q \ge 11$. Moreover, we show that most of the…
In this article we count the number of generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes of dimension k and length n, including the codes coming from a non-degenerate conic plus nucleus. We compare our results with known formulae for the number of…

In this paper, we study a class of subcodes of codimension $1$ in the $[n,k+1]_q$ generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, whose generator matrix is derived by removing the row of degree $k-r$ from the generator matrix of the $[n,k+1]_q$ GRS…
Gabidulin codes over fields of characteristic zero were recently constructed by Augot et al., whenever the Galois group of the underlying field extension is cyclic. In parallel, the interest in sparse generator matrices of Reed-Solomon and…
MDS codes have garnered significant attention due to their wide applications in practice. To date, most known MDS codes are equivalent to Reed-Solomon codes. The construction of non-Reed-Solomon (non-RS) type MDS codes has emerged as an…
In this work, we study the performance of Reed--Solomon codes against adversarial insertion-deletion (insdel) errors. We prove that over fields of size $n^{O(k)}$ there are $[n,k]$ Reed-Solomon codes that can decode from $n-2k+1$ insdel…

This paper considers the problem of designing maximum distance separable (MDS) codes over small fields with constraints on the support of their generator matrices. For any given $m\times n$ binary matrix $M$, the GM-MDS conjecture, due to…
We construct quantum MDS codes with parameters $ [\![ q^2+1,q^2+3-2d,d ]\!] _q$ for all $d \leqslant q+1$, $d \neq q$. These codes are shown to exist by proving that there are classical generalised Reed-Solomon codes which contain their…
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…
