The mds (maximum distance separable) conjecture claims that a nontrivial linear mds $[n,k]$ code over the finite field $GF(q)$ satisfies $n \leq (q + 1)$, except when $q$ is even and $k = 3$ or $k = q- 1$ in which case it satisfies $n \leq…
This paper gives new methods of constructing {\it symmetric self-dual codes} over a finite field $GF(q)$ where $q$ is a power of an odd prime. These methods are motivated by the well-known Pless symmetry codes and quadratic double circulant…
We shall derive conditions in which a general formula for the dimension of q-ary trace codes induced by algebraic-geometric codes. Significant to this result are several dimension reducing methods for the underlying functions spaces…
The intersection problem for additive (extended and non-extended) perfect codes, i.e. which are the possibilities for the number of codewords in the intersection of two additive codes C1 and C2 of the same length, is investigated. Lower and…
The following open problems, which concern a fundamental limit on coding properties of quantum codes with realistic physical constraints, are analyzed and partially answered here: (a) the upper bound on code distances of quantum…
In this paper we construct new optimal hierarchical locally recoverable codes. Our construction is based on a combination of the ideas of \cite{ballentine2019codes,sasidharan2015codes} with an algebraic number theoretical approach that…
Like classical block codes, a locally repairable code also obeys the Singleton-type bound (we call a locally repairable code {\it optimal} if it achieves the Singleton-type bound). In the breakthrough work of \cite{TB14}, several classes of…
In recent years, many connections have been made between minimal codes, a classical object in coding theory, and other remarkable structures in finite geometry and combinatorics. One of the main problems related to minimal codes is to give…
For nonnegative integers $n,d,w$, let $A(n,d,w)$ be the maximum size of a code $C \subseteq \mathbb{F}_2^n$ with constant weight $w$ and minimum distance at least $d$. We consider two semidefinite programs based on quadruples of code words…
Constructions of distance-optimal codes and quasi-perfect codes are challenging problems and have attracted many attentions. In this paper, we give the following three results. 1) If $\lambda|q^{sm}-1$ and $\lambda…
The Johnson-type upper bound on the maximum size of a code of length $n$, distance $d=2w-1$ and constant composition ${\overline{w}}$ is $\lfloor\dfrac{n}{w_1}\rfloor$, where $w$ is the total weight and $w_1$ is the largest component of…
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…
We determine the minimum possible column multiplicity of even, doubly-, and triply-even codes given their length. This refines a classification result for the possible lengths of $q^r$-divisible codes over $\mathbb{F}_q$. We also give a few…
One of the main problems in random network coding is to compute good lower and upper bounds on the achievable cardinality of the so-called subspace codes in the projective space $\mathcal{P}_q(n)$ for a given minimum distance. The…
For any given alphabet of size $q$, a Homopolymer Free code (HF code) refers to an $(n, M, d)_q$ code of length $n$, size $M$ and minimum Hamming distance $d$, where all the codewords are homopolymer free sequences. For any given alphabet,…
In network coding a constant dimension code consists of a set of k-dimensional subspaces of F_q^n. Orbit codes are constant dimension codes which are defined as orbits of a subgroup of the general linear group, acting on the set of all…
A spread code is a set of vector spaces of a fixed dimension over a finite field Fq with certain properties used for random network coding. It can be constructed in different ways which lead to different decoding algorithms. In this work we…
We consider encoding problems for range queries on arrays. In these problems the goal is to store a structure capable of recovering the answer to all queries that occupies the information theoretic minimum space possible, to within lower…
One peculiarity with deletion-correcting codes is that perfect $t$-deletion-correcting codes of the same length over the same alphabet can have different numbers of codewords, because the balls of radius $t$ with respect to the…
Several upper bounds on the size of quantum codes are derived using the linear programming approach. These bounds are strengthened for the linear quantum codes.
