We provide a geometric characterization of $k$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$-linear sum-rank metric codes as tuples of $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^k$. We then use this characterization to study one-weight codes in the…
In the present paper, we give harmonic weight enumerators and Jacobi polynomials for the first-order Reed--Muller codes and the extended Hamming codes. As a corollary, we show the nonexistence of combinatorial $4$-designs in these codes.
Sum-rank Hamming codes are introduced in this work. They are essentially defined as the longest codes (thus of highest information rate) with minimum sum-rank distance at least $ 3 $ (thus one-error-correcting) for a fixed redundancy $ r $,…

Toric codes are obtained by evaluating rational functions of a nonsingular toric variety at the algebraic torus. One can extend toric codes to the so called generalized toric codes. This extension consists on evaluating elements of an…
The evaluation of the minimum distance of linear block codes remains an open problem in coding theory, and it is not easy to determine its true value by classical methods, for this reason the problem has been solved in the literature with…
We consider linear codes over some fixed finite field extension over an arbitrary finite field. Gabidulin introduced rank metric codes, by endowing linear codes over the extension field with a rank weight over the base field and studied…
For projective Reed--Muller-type codes we give a global duality criterion in terms of the v-number and the Hilbert function of a vanishing ideal. As an application, we provide a global duality theorem for projective Reed--Muller-type codes…
Reed-Muller (RM) codes are among the oldest, simplest and perhaps most ubiquitous family of codes. They are used in many areas of coding theory in both electrical engineering and computer science. Yet, many of their important properties are…
The number-theoretic codes are a class of codes defined by single or multiple congruences. These codes are mainly used for correcting insertion and deletion errors, and for correcting asymmetric errors. This paper presents a formula for a…
Independent parallel q-ary symmetric channels are a suitable transmission model for several applications. The proposed weighted-Hamming metric is tailored to this setting and enables optimal decoding performance. We show that some…
This paper introduces new constructions of sum-rank metric codes derived from algebraic function fields, as existing results on such codes remain limited. A major challenge lies in the determination of their parameters. We address this…
In the past few years, linear codes with few weights and their weight analysis have been widely studied. In this paper, we further investigate a class of two-weight or three-weight linear codes from defining sets and determine their weight…
In this paper we investigate some dual algebraic-geometric codes associated with the Giulietti-Korchm\'aros maximal curve. We compute the minimum distance and the minimum weight codewords of such codes and we investigate the generalized…
Recently, linear codes with a few weights were widely investigated due to their applications in secret sharing schemes and authentication schemes. In this letter, we present a class of $q$-ary linear codes derived from irreducible cyclic…
Irreducible cyclic codes are an interesting type of codes and have applications in space communications. They have been studied for decades and a lot of progress has been made. The objectives of this paper are to survey and extend earlier…
In this paper, we propose and study $r$-minimal codes, a natural extension of minimal codes which have been extensively studied with respect to Hamming metric, rank metric and sum-rank metric. We first propose $r$-minimal codes in a general…
Linear codes play a central role in coding theory and have applications in several branches of mathematics. For error correction purposes the minimum Hamming distance should be as large as possible. Linear codes related to applications in…
Using commutative algebra methods we study the generalized minimum distance function (gmd function) and the corresponding generalized footprint function of a graded ideal in a polynomial ring over a field. The number of solutions that a…
We generalize the Brouwer-Zimmermann algorithm, which is the most efficient general algorithm for computing the minimum distance of a random linear code, to the case of generalized Hamming weights. We also adapt this algorithm to compute…
