We consider higher-rank versions of the standard numerical range for matrices. A central motivation for this investigation comes from quantum error correction. We develop the basic structure theory for the higher-rank numerical ranges, and…

Rank-metric codes have been a central topic in coding theory due to their theoretical and practical significance, with applications in network coding, distributed storage, crisscross error correction, and post-quantum cryptography. Recent…

We study properties of rank metric and codes in rank metric over finite fields. We show that in rank metric perfect codes do not exist. We derive an existence bound that is the equivalent of the Gilbert--Varshamov bound in Hamming metric.…

In this work, we provide four methods for constructing new maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD) codes. The first method, a variant of cartesian products, allows faster decoding than known MSRD codes of the same parameters. The other three…

Denote by $f_D(n)$ the maximum size of a set family $\mathcal{F}$ on $[n] \stackrel{\mbox{\normalfont\tiny def}}{=} \{1, \dots, n\}$ with distance set $D$. That is, $|A \bigtriangleup B| \in D$ holds for every pair of distinct sets $A, B…

In the d-Euclidean Distance Matrix Completion (d-EDMC) problem, one aims to determine whether a given partial matrix of pairwise distances can be extended to a full Euclidean distance matrix in d dimensions. This problem is a cornerstone of…

In this paper, we continue the study of Maximally Recoverable (MR) Grid Codes initiated by Gopalan et al. [SODA 2017]. More precisely, we study codes over an $m \times n$ grid topology with one parity check per row and column of the grid…

Nested code pairs play a crucial role in the construction of ramp secret sharing schemes [Kurihara et al. 2012] and in the CSS construction of quantum codes [Ketkar et al. 2006]. The important parameters are (1) the codimension, (2) the…

In this work we present a new criterion to check if a given rank-metric code is a maximum rank distance (MRD) code. Moreover, we derive a criterion to check if a given MRD code is a generalized Gabidulin code. We then use these results to…

We extend the existing skew polynomial representations of matrix algebras which are direct sum of matrix spaces over division rings. In this representation, the sum-rank distance between two tuples of matrices is captured by a weight…

All generalized Hadamard matrices of order 18 over a group of order 3, H(6,3), are enumerated in two different ways: once, as class regular symmetric (6,3)-nets, or symmetric transversal designs on 54 points and 54 blocks with a group of…

We study linear codes that maximize minimum distance subject to arbitrary support constraints on the parity-check matrix. Such constraints arise naturally in the design of LDPC codes, locally repairable codes, and hardware-constrained…

This paper contributes to the study of rank-metric codes from an algebraic and combinatorial point of view. We introduce $q$-polymatroids, the $q$-analogue of polymatroids, and develop their basic properties. We associate a pair of…

In the present paper we introduce and study finite point subsets of a special kind, called optimum distributions, in the n-dimensional unit cube. Such distributions are closely related with known (delta,s,n)-nets of low discrepancy. It…

In this paper we introduce and investigate rank-metric intersecting codes, a new class of linear codes in the rank-metric context, inspired by the well-studied notion of intersecting codes in the Hamming metric. A rank-metric code is said…

We resolve a longstanding open problem by reformulating the Grassmannian fusion frames to the case of mixed dimensions and show that this satisfies the proper properties for the problem. In order to compare elements of mixed dimension, we…

Recently, it was discovered by several authors that a $q$-ary optimal locally recoverable code, i.e., a locally recoverable code archiving the Singleton-type bound, can have length much bigger than $q+1$. This is quite different from the…
