In the 1960s, MacWilliams proved that the Hamming weight enumerator of a linear code over a finite field completely determines, and is determined by, the Hamming weight enumerator of its dual code. In particular, if two linear codes have…
Let $\Bbb F_r$ be an extension of a finite field $\Bbb F_q$ with $r=q^m$. Let each $g_i$ be of order $n_i$ in $\Bbb F_r^*$ and $\gcd(n_i, n_j)=1$ for $1\leq i \neq j \leq u$. We define a cyclic code over $\Bbb F_q$ by $$\mathcal C_{(q, m,…

The bilateral minimum distance of a binary linear code is the maximum $d$ such that all nonzero codewords have weights between $d$ and $n-d$. Let $Q\subset \{0,1\}^n$ be a binary linear code whose dual has bilateral minimum distance at…
In this paper, we apply two-to-one functions over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ in two generic constructions of binary linear codes. We consider two-to-one functions in two forms: (1) generalized quadratic functions; and (2) $\left(x^{2^t}+x\right)^e$…
