In this paper, based on the theory of defining sets, a class of four-weight or five-weight linear codes over Fp is constructed. The complete weight enumerators of the linear codes are determined by means of Weil sums. In some case, there is…
The set of all subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ is denoted by $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$. The subspace distance $d_S(X,Y) = \dim(X)+ \dim(Y) - 2\dim(X \cap Y)$ defined on $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$ turns it into a natural coding space for error correction in…

In the recent work \cite{shi18}, a combinatorial problem concerning linear codes over a finite field $\F_q$ was introduced. In that work the authors studied the weight set of an $[n,k]_q$ linear code, that is the set of non-zero distinct…
We investigate perfect codes in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ under the $\ell_p$ metric. Upper bounds for the packing radius $r$ of a linear perfect code, in terms of the metric parameter $p$ and the dimension $n$ are derived. For $p = 2$ and $n = 2, 3$,…
Recently, linear codes constructed from defining sets have been studied extensively. They may have nice parameters if the defining set is chosen properly. Let $ m >2$ be a positive integer. For an odd prime $ p $, let $ r=p^m $ and…

If $S$ is a transitive metric space, then $|C|\cdot|A| \le |S|$ for any distance-$d$ code $C$ and a set $A$, ``anticode'', of diameter less than $d$. For every Steiner S$(t,k,n)$ system $S$, we show the existence of a $q$-ary…

A $q$-ary code $C$ of length $n$ is a set of $n$-dimensional vectors (code words) with entries in $\{0, \ldots, q-1\}$. We say $C$ has constant weight $w$ if each code word has exactly $w$ nonzero entries. We say $C$ has minimum distance…
The objective of this paper is to construct a class of linear codes with two nonzero weights and three nonzero weights by using the general trace functions, which weight distributions has been determined. These linear codes contain some…
