In coding theory, constructing codes with good parameters is one of the most important and fundamental problems. Though a great many of good codes have been produced, most of them are defined over alphabets of sizes equal to prime powers.…
Reed--Solomon codes are a well--studied code class which fulfill the Singleton bound with equality. However, their length is limited to the size $q$ of the underlying field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper we present a code construction which…
We construct linear codes over the finite field Fq from arbitrary simplicial complexes, establishing a connection between topological properties and fundamental coding parameters. First, we study the behaviour of the weights of codewords…
Linear codes have been an interesting topic in both theory and practice for many years. In this paper, for an odd prime power $q$, we construct some class of linear code over finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ with defining set be the preimage of…
A known Kronecker construction of completely regular codes has been investigated taking different alphabets in the component codes. This approach is also connected with lifting constructions of completely regular codes. We obtain several…
We study the maximum length of $q$-ary codes as a function of alphabet size, code size, and Singleton defect. For an $(n, M, d)_q$ code with dimension $\kappa = \log_q M \ge 2$ and Singleton defect $s = n - \lceil\kappa\rceil + 1 - d$, we…

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…
A new ensemble of structured codes is introduced. These codes are called Quasi Linear Codes (QLC). The QLC's are constructed by taking subsets of linear codes. They have a looser structure compared to linear codes and are not closed under…

Constructing locally repairable codes achieving Singleton-type bound (we call them optimal codes in this paper) is a challenging task and has attracted great attention in the last few years. Tamo and Barg \cite{TB14} first gave a…
Let $q$ be a prime power. This paper provides a new class of linear codes that arises from the action of the alternating group on $\mathbb F_q[x_1,\dots,x_m]$ combined with the ideas in (M. Datta and T. Johnsen, 2022). Compared with…
Linear codes generated by component functions of perfect nonlinear (PN) and almost perfect nonlinear (APN) functions and the first-order Reed-Muller codes have been an object of intensive study in coding theory. The objective of this paper…
Let $n$ be a prime power, $r$ be a prime with $r\mid n-1$, and $\varepsilon\in (0,1/2)$. Using the theory of multiplicative character sums and superelliptic curves, we construct new codes over $\mathbb F_r$ having length $n$, relative…
New properties of $q$-ary cyclotomic cosets modulo $n = q^{m} - 1$, where $q \geq 3$ is a prime power, are investigated in this paper. Based on these properties, the dimension as well as bounds for the designed distance of some families of…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q=p^{e}$ elements, where $p$ is a prime number and $e \geq 1$ is an integer. In this paper, by means of generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, we construct two new classes of quantum…
Bounds on linear codes play a central role in coding theory, as they capture the fundamental trade-off between error-correction capability (minimum distance) and information rate (dimension relative to length). Classical results…
A generic construction of linear codes over finite fields has recently received a lot of attention, and many one-weight, two-weight and three-weight codes with good error correcting capability have been produced with this generic approach.…
The $q$-ary block codes with two distances $d$ and $d+1$ are considered. Several constructions of such codes are given, as in the linear case all codes can be obtained by a simple modification of linear equidistant codes. Upper bounds for…
Consider a $q$-ary block code satisfying the property that no $l$-letters long codeword's prefix occurs as a suffix of any codeword for $l$ inside some interval. We determine a general upper bound on the maximum size of these codes and a…
