It is shown that subclasses of separable binary Goppa codes, $\Gamma(L,G)$ - codes, with $L=\{\alpha \in GF(2^{2l}):G(\alpha)\neq 0 \}$ and special Goppa polynomials G(x) can be presented as a chain of embedded codes. The true minimal…
Goppa codes form an important class of alternant codes with wide applications in algebraic coding theory and code-based cryptography. Determining the true minimum distance of a Goppa code is a difficult problem. In this paper, we provide a…
All codes with minimum distance 8 and codimension up to 14 and all codes with minimum distance 10 and codimension up to 18 are classified. Nonexistence of codes with parameters [33,18,8] and [33,14,10] is proved. This leads to 8 new exact…
In this article we prove that a class of Goppa codes whose Goppa polynomial is of the form $g(x) = x + x^q + \cdots + x^{q^{m-1}}$ where $m \geq 3$ (i.e. $g(x)$ is a trace polynomial from a field extension of degree $m \geq 3$) has a better…
Algebraic geometry codes or Goppa codes are defined with places of degree one. In constructing generalised algebraic geometry codes places of higher degree are used. In this paper we present 41 new codes over GF(16) which improve on the…
Generalized Goppa codes are defined by a code locator set $\mathcal{L}$ of polynomials and a Goppa polynomial $G(x)$. When the degree of all code locator polynomials in $\mathcal{L}$ is one, generalized Goppa codes are classical Goppa…
Let $t \in \{2,8,10,12,14,16,18\}$ and $n=31s+t\geq 14$, $d_{a}(n,5)$ and $d_{l}(n,5)$ be distances of binary $[n,5]$ optimal linear codes and optimal linear complementary dual (LCD) codes, respectively. We show that an $[n,5,d_{a}(n,5)]$…
The binary Hamming codes with parameters $[2^m-1, 2^m-1-m, 3]$ are perfect. Their extended codes have parameters $[2^m, 2^m-1-m, 4]$ and are distance-optimal. The first objective of this paper is to construct a class of binary linear codes…
We address the maximum size of binary codes and binary constant weight codes with few distances. Previous works established a number of bounds for these quantities as well as the exact values for a range of small code lengths. As our main…
Let $n (>3)$ be a prime number and $\Bbb F_{2^n}$ a finite field of $2^n$ elements. Let $L =\Bbb F_{2^n}\cup \{\infty\}$ be the support set and $g(x)$ an irreducible polynomial of degree $6$ over $\Bbb F_{2^n}$. In this paper, we obtain an…
Binary optimal codes often contain optimal or near-optimal subcodes. In this paper we show that this is true for the family of self-dual codes. One approach is to compute the optimum distance profiles (ODPs) of linear codes, which was…
Sixteen new linear codes are presented: three of them improve the lower bounds on the minimum distance for a linear code and the rest are an explicit construction of unknown codes attaining the lower bounds on the minimum distance. They are…
We prove a new bound for the minimum distance of geometric Goppa codes that generalizes two previous improved bounds. We include examples of the bound to one and two point codes over both the Suzuki and Hermitian curves.
