In this paper, we introduce code distances, a new family of invariants for linear codes. We establish some properties and prove bounds on the code distances, and show that they are not invariants of the matroid (for a linear block code) or…

A family of LDPC codes, called LU(3,q) codes, has been constructed from q-regular bipartite graphs. Recently, P. Sin and Q. Xiang determined the dimensions of these codes in the case that q is a power of an odd prime. They also obtained a…

We prove that a binary linear code of block length $n$ that is locally correctable with $3$ queries against a fraction $\delta > 0$ of adversarial errors must have dimension at most $O_{\delta}(\log^2 n \cdot \log \log n)$. This is almost…
