Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic not equal to $2$ or $3$. We compute the weight enumerators of some projective and affine Reed-Muller codes of order $3$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$. These weight enumerators answer enumerative…

In this paper, we introduce Jacobi polynomial generalizations of several classical invariants in coding theory over finite fields, specifically, the higher and extended weight enumerators, and we establish explicit correspondences between…

This article is a continuation of our recent work (Yin Chen and Runxuan Zhang, Shape enumerators of self-dual NRT codes over finite fields. SIAM J. Discrete Math. 38 (2024), no. 4, 2841-2854) in the setting of quantum error-correcting…

There is a nice combinatorial formula of P. Beelen and M. Datta for the $r$-th generalized Hamming weight of an affine cartesian code. Using this combinatorial formula we give an easy to evaluate formula to compute the $r$-th generalized…

Gleason's 1970 theorem on weight enumerators of self-dual codes has played a crucial role for research in coding theory during the last four decades. Plenty of generalizations have been proved but, to our knowledge, they are all based on…

In this paper we continue the study of codes over imaginary quadratic fields and their weight enumerators and theta functions. We present new examples of non-equivalent codes over rings of characteristic $p=2$ and $p=5$ which have the same…

The determination of the weight distribution of linear codes has been a fascinating problem since the very beginning of coding theory. There has been a lot of research on weight enumerators of special cases, such as self-dual codes and…

Linear codes with a few weights have been widely investigated in recent years. In this paper, we mainly use Gauss sums to represent the Hamming weights of a class of $q$-ary linear codes under some certain conditions, where $q$ is a power…

We develop an algebraic theory of supports for $R$-linear codes of fixed length, where $R$ is a finite commutative unitary ring. A support naturally induces a notion of generalized weights and allows one to associate a monomial ideal to a…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of order $q$ and integer $n\ge 1$. Let $\ell$ be a prime such that $\ell^k|(q-1)$ for some integer $k\ge 1$ and $\mu$ be an element of order $\ell^k$ in $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we determine the…

In this note, we reveal a relation between the weight distribution of a concatenated code ensemble based on the Plotkin construction and those of its component codes. The relation may find applications in the calculation of the ensemble…

We derive a general lower bound for the generalized Hamming weights of nested matrix-product codes, with a particular emphasis on the cases with two and three constituent codes. We also provide an upper bound which is reminiscent of the…

In this paper, for any odd prime $p$ and an integer $m\ge 3$, several classes of linear codes with $t$-weight $(t=3,5,7)$ are obtained based on some defining sets, and then their complete weight enumerators are determined explicitly by…

We estimate the variance of weight and stopping set distribution of regular LDPC ensembles. Using this estimate and the second moment method we obtain bounds on the probability that a randomly chosen code from regular LDPC ensemble has its…

Braided convolutional codes (BCCs) are a class of spatially coupled turbo-like codes (SC-TCs) with excellent belief propagation (BP) thresholds. In this paper, we analyze the performance of BCCs in the finite block-length regime. We derive…

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…

This paper develops an algorithmic approach for obtaining estimates of the weight enumerators of Reed-Muller (RM) codes. Our algorithm is based on a technique for estimating the partition functions of spin systems, which in turn employs a…

We study sequences of linear or affine codes with uniform weight spectrum, i.e., a part of codewords with any fixed weight tends to zero. It is proved that a sequence of linear codes has a uniform weight spectrum if the number of vectors…

We compute the joint distributions of arbitrary numbers of eigenvectors of real and complex symmetric random tensors by the quantum field theoretical methods which were previously used to compute the mean distributions. We obtain the random…

The main theorem in this paper is a far-reaching generalization of Gleason's theorem on the weight enumerators of codes which applies to arbitrary-genus weight enumerators of self-dual codes defined over a large class of finite rings and…
