We define a virtual projection of a Reed-Solomon code $RS(q^{l},n,k)$ to an $RS(q,n,k)$ Reed-Solomon code. A new probabilistic decoding algorithm that can be used to perform fractional decoding beyond the $\alpha$- decoding radius is…
In this paper, we introduce a general construction of linear codes with small dimension hull from any non LCD codes. Furthermore, we show that for any linear code $\Co$ over $\F_q$ ($q > 3$) with $dim(Hull(\Co))=h$ there exist an equivalent…
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.…
In their 2007 book, Tsfasman and Vl\v{a}du\c{t} invite the reader to reinterpret existing coding theory results through the lens of projective systems. Redefining linear codes as projective systems provides a geometric vantage point. In…
We determine the number of ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-rational points of hyperplane sections of classical determinantal varieties defined by the vanishing of minors of a fixed size of a generic matrix, and identify sections giving the maximum number…
For a fixed polynomial $\Delta$, we study the number of polynomials $f$ of degree $n$ over $\mathbb F_q$ such that $f$ and $f+\Delta$ are both irreducible, an $\mathbb F_q[T]$-analogue of the twin primes problem. In the large-$q$ limit, we…
There is a one-to-one correspondence between $\ell$-quasi-cyclic codes over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ and linear codes over a ring $R = \mathbb F_q[Y]/(Y^m-1)$. Using this correspondence, we prove that every $\ell$-quasi-cyclic self-dual…
We consider codes over the alphabet Q={0,1,..,q-1}intended for the control of unidirectional errors of level l. That is, the transmission channel is such that the received word cannot contain both a component larger than the transmitted one…
Basic algebraic and combinatorial properties of finite vector spaces in which individual vectors are allowed to have multiplicities larger than $ 1 $ are derived. An application in coding theory is illustrated by showing that multispace…
Two general constructions of linear codes with functions over finite fields have been extensively studied in the literature. The first one is given by $\mathcal{C}(f)=\left\{ {\rm Tr}(af(x)+bx)_{x \in \mathbb{F}_{q^m}^*}: a,b \in…
The setting of projective systems can be used to study the parameters of a projective linear code $\mathcal{C}$. This can be done by considering the intersections of the point set $\Omega$ defined by the columns of a generating matrix for…
In this paper we present an extension of known semidefinite and linear programming upper bounds for spherical codes and consider a version of this bound for distance graphs. We apply the main result for the distance distribution of a…
Linear codes with complementary duals (abbreviated LCD) are linear codes whose intersection with their dual are trivial. When they are binary, they play an important role in armoring implementations against side-channel attacks and fault…
We construct two series of linear codes over finite ring $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]/(x^2)$ and Galois ring $GR(p^2,m)$ respectively reaching the Griesmer bound. They derive two series of codes over finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ by Gray map. The…
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…
We examine the maximum dimension of a linear system of plane cubic curves whose $\mathbb{F}_q$-members are all geometrically irreducible. Computational evidence suggests that such a system has a maximum (projective) dimension of $3$. As a…
In this paper, based on the theory of defining sets, two classes of five-weight or six-weight linear codes over Fp are constructed. The weight distributions of the linear codes are determined by means of Weil sums and a new type of…
The hull of a linear code $C$ is the intersection of $C$ with its dual code. We present and analyze the number of linear $q$-ary codes of the same length and dimension but with different dimensions for their hulls. We prove that for given…
In this article, we show explicitly all possible weight enumerators for every irreducible cyclic code of length $n$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$, in the case which each prime divisor of $n$ is also a divisor of $q-1$.
Boolean functions can be used to construct binary linear codes in many ways, and vice versa. The objective of this short article is to point out a connection between the weight distributions of all projective binary linear codes and the…
