Minimal codes are linear codes where all non-zero codewords are minimal, i.e., whose support is not properly contained in the support of another codeword. The minimum possible length of such a $k$-dimensional linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$…

Partial spread is important in finite geometry and can be used to construct linear codes. From the results in (Designs, Codes and Cryptography 90:1-15, 2022) by Xia Li, Qin Yue and Deng Tang, we know that if the number of the elements in a…
Minimal linear codes are in one-to-one correspondence with special types of blocking sets of projective spaces over a finite field, which are called strong or cutting blocking sets. In this paper we prove an upper bound on the minimal…
In order to understand the performance of a code under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding, one studies the codewords, in particular the minimal codewords, and their Hamming weights. In the context of linear programming (LP) decoding, one's…
This paper deals with the problem of increasing the minimum distance of a linear code by adding one or more columns to the generator matrix. Several methods to compute extensions of linear codes are presented. Many codes improving the…
In this paper, we consider the affine variety codes obtained evaluating the polynomials $by=a_kx^k+\dots+a_1x+a_0$, $b,a_i\in\mathbb{F}_{q^r}$, at the affine $\F_{q^r}$-rational points of the Norm-Trace curve. In particular, we investigate…
A minimal code is a linear code where the only instance that a codeword has its support contained in the support of another codeword is when the codewords are scalar multiples of each other. Ashikhmin and Barg gave a sufficient condition…

We would like to better understand the fundamental cone of Tanner graphs derived from finite projective planes. Towards this goal, we discuss bounds on the AWGNC and BSC pseudo-weight of minimal pseudo-codewords of such Tanner graphs, on…
