In this paper, we study properties of rank metric codes in general and maximum rank distance (MRD) codes in particular. For codes with the rank metric, we first establish Gilbert and sphere-packing bounds, and then obtain the asymptotic…
In this work, we provide four methods for constructing new maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD) codes. The first method, a variant of cartesian products, allows faster decoding than known MSRD codes of the same parameters. The other three…

In this paper we introduce and investigate rank-metric intersecting codes, a new class of linear codes in the rank-metric context, inspired by the well-studied notion of intersecting codes in the Hamming metric. A rank-metric code is said…
Maximum rank distance codes denoted MRD-codes are the equivalent in rank metric of MDS-codes. Given any integer $q$ power of a prime and any integer $n$ there is a family of MRD-codes of length $n$ over $\FF{q^n}$ having polynomial-time…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a set of $m$ by $n$ matrices over $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the rank of $A-B$ is at least $d$ for all distinct $A,B\in \mathcal{C}$. Suppose that $m\leqslant n$. If $\#\mathcal{C}= q^{n(m-d+1)}$, then $\mathcal{C}$ is a…
