We define generalized Hamming weights for almost affine codes. We show how various aspects and applications of generalized Hamming weights for linear codes, such as Wei duality, generalized Kung's bound, profiles, connection to wire-tap…
Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of prime $p$. A polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ is square-free if all its monomials are square-free. In this note, we determine an upper bound on the number of…
In this note, we give a very simple description of the generalized Hamming weights of Reed--Muller codes. For this purpose, we generalize the well-known Macaulay representation of a nonnegative integer and state some of its basic…
We give an alternative proof of the formula for the minimum distance of a projective Reed-Muller code of an arbitrary order. It leads to a complete characterization of the minimum weight codewords of a projective Reed-Muller code. This is…
We consider the question of determining the higher weights or the generalized Hamming weights of affine Grassmann codes and their duals. Several initial as well as terminal higher weights of affine Grassmann codes of an arbitrary level are…
We study affine cartesian codes, which are a Reed-Muller type of evaluation codes, where polynomials are evaluated at the cartesian product of n subsets of a finite field F_q. These codes appeared recently in a work by H. Lopez, C.…
We propose a unified theory of generalized weights for linear codes endowed with an arbitrary distance. Instead of relying on supports or anticodes, the weights of a code are defined via the intersections of the code with a chosen family of…
In this paper, we discuss the generalized Hamming weights of a class of linear codes associated with non-degenerate quadratic forms. In order to do so, we study the quadratic forms over subspaces of finite field and obtain some interesting…
We introduce the sum-rank metric analogue of Reed--Muller codes, which we called linearized Reed--Muller codes, using multivariate Ore polynomials. We study the parameters of these codes, compute their dimension and give a lower bound for…
We present a new bound for the minimum distance of a general primary linear code. For affine variety codes defined from generalised C_{ab} curves the new bound often improves dramatically on the Feng-Rao bound for primary codes. The method…
The generalized Hamming weights (GHWs) of linear codes are fundamental parameters, the knowledge of which is of great interest in many applications. However, to determine the GHWs of linear codes is difficult in general. In this paper, we…
In this paper we introduce the relative generalized minimum distance function (RGMDF for short) and it allows us to give an algebraic approach to the relative generalized Hamming weights of the projective Reed--Muller--type codes. Also we…
We study the locally recoverable codes on algebraic curves. In the first part of this article, we provide a bound of generalized Hamming weight of these codes. Whereas in the second part, we propose a new family of algebraic geometric LRC…
Currently known secondary construction techniques for linear codes mainly include puncturing, shortening, and extending. In this paper, we propose a novel method for the secondary construction of linear codes based on their weight…
We develop an algebraic theory of supports for $R$-linear codes of fixed length, where $R$ is a finite commutative unitary ring. A support naturally induces a notion of generalized weights and allows one to associate a monomial ideal to a…
Toric codes are a type of evaluation codes introduced by J.P. Hansen in 2000. They are produced by evaluating (a vector space composed by) polynomials at the points of $(\mathbb{F}_q^*)^s$, the monomials of these polynomials being related…
The generalized Hamming weight (GHW) $d_r(C)$ of linear codes $C$ is a natural generalization of the minimum Hamming distance $d(C)(=d_1(C))$ and has become one of important research objects in coding theory since Wei's originary work [23]…
In this work we develop a geometric approach to the study of rank metric codes. Using this method, we introduce a simpler definition for generalized rank weight of linear codes. We give a complete classification of constant rank weight code…

We define and study a class of Reed-Muller type error-correcting codes obtained from elementary symmetric functions in finitely many variables. We determine the code parameters and higher weight spectra in the simplest cases.
