A q-ary linear code of dimension k is called a maximum weight spectrum (MWS) code if it has the maximum possible number (viz. (q^k-1)/(q-1)) of different non-zero weights. We construct MWS codes from quasi-minimal codes, thus obtaining of…

We generalize the notion of cyclic codes by using generator polynomials in (non commutative) skew polynomial rings. Since skew polynomial rings are left and right euclidean, the obtained codes share most properties of cyclic codes. Since…

A binary code is said to be a disjunctive list-decoding $s_L$-code (LD $s_L$-code), $s \ge 2$, $L \ge 1$, if the code is identified by the incidence matrix of a family of finite sets in which the union (or disjunctive sum) of any $s$ sets…
