Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph. The maximum size of codewords with minimum distance at least $d$ is denoted by $A(\Gamma,d)$. Let $\square_n$ denote the folded $n$-cube $H(n,2)$. We give an upper bound on $A(\square_n,d)$…

A class of optimal three-weight cyclic codes of dimension 3 over any finite field was presented by Vega [Finite Fields Appl., 42 (2016) 23-38]. Shortly thereafter, Heng and Yue [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 62(8) (2016) 4501-4513] generalized…

We consider $q$-ary (linear and nonlinear) block codes with exactly two distances: $d$ and $d+\delta$. Several combinatorial constructions of optimal such codes are given. In the linear (but not necessary projective) case, we prove that…

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…

The length function $\ell_q(r,R)$ is the smallest length of a $q$-ary linear code of codimension (redundancy) $r$ and covering radius $R$. The $d$-length function $\ell_q(r,R,d)$ is the smallest length of a $q$-ary linear code with…

For $n,d,w \in \mathbb{N}$, let $A(n,d,w)$ denote the maximum size of a binary code of word length $n$, minimum distance $d$ and constant weight $w$. Schrijver recently showed using semidefinite programming that $A(23,8,11)=1288$, and the…

The minimum distance of expander codes over GF(q) is studied. A new upper bound on the minimum distance of expander codes is derived. The bound is shown to lie under the Varshamov-Gilbert (VG) bound while q >= 32. Lower bounds on the…

The hull of a linear code $C$ is the intersection of $C$ with its dual. To the best of our knowledge, there are very few constructions of binary linear codes with the hull dimension $\ge 2$ except for self-orthogonal codes. We propose a…

Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are very important in both theory and practice. There is a classical construction of a family of $[2^m+1, 2u-1, 2^m-2u+3]$ MDS codes for $1 \leq u \leq 2^{m-1}$, which are cyclic, reversible and BCH…
