It is an important task to construct quantum maximum-distance-separable (MDS) codes with good parameters. In the present paper, we provide six new classes of q-ary quantum MDS codes by using generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes and…
It was shown in \cite{GXY18} that the length $n$ of a $q$-ary linear locally recoverable code with distance $d\ge 5$ is upper bounded by $O(dq^3)$. Thus, it is a challenging problem to construct $q$-ary locally recoverable codes with…
We consider linear cyclic codes with the locality property, or locally recoverable codes (LRC codes). A family of LRC codes that generalize the classical construction of Reed-Solomon codes was constructed in a recent paper by I. Tamo and A.…
Most well-known constructions of $(N \times n, q^{Nk}, d)$ maximum rank distance (MRD) codes rely on the arithmetic of $\mathbb{F}_{q^N}$, whose increasing complexity with larger $N$ hinders parameter selection and practical implementation.…
We show how the theory of affine geometries over the ring ${\mathbb Z}/\langle q - 1\rangle$ can be used to understand the properties of toric and generalized toric codes over ${\mathbb F}_q$. The minimum distance of these codes is strongly…
Complex orthogonal designs (CODs) are used to construct space-time block codes. COD $\mathcal{O}_z$ with parameter $[p, n, k]$ is a $p \times n$ matrix, where nonzero entries are filled by $\pm z_i$ or $\pm z^*_i$, $i = 1, 2,..., k$, such…
A new construction for constant weight codes is presented. The codes are constructed from $k$-dimensional subspaces of the vector space $\F_q^n$. These subspaces form a constant dimension code in the Grassmannian space $\cG_q(n,k)$. Some of…
We establish a general formula for the maximum size of finite length block codes with minimum pairwise distance no less than $d$. The achievability argument involves an iterative construction of a set of radius-$d$ balls, each centered at a…
It is shown in this paper that, if $R$ is a Frobenius ring, then the quaternion ring $\mathcal{H}_{a,b}(R)$ is a Frobenius ring for all units $a,b \in R$. In particular, if $q$ is an odd prime power then $\mathcal{H}_{a,b}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ is…
In this paper we construct new optimal hierarchical locally recoverable codes. Our construction is based on a combination of the ideas of \cite{ballentine2019codes,sasidharan2015codes} with an algebraic number theoretical approach that…
Complex Orthogonal Design (COD) codes are known to have the lowest detection complexity among Space-Time Block Codes (STBCs). However, the rate of square COD codes decreases exponentially with the number of transmit antennas. The…
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…
Near maximum distance separable (NMDS) codes, where both the code and its dual are almost maximum distance separable, play pivotal roles in combinatorial design theory and cryptographic applications. Despite progress in fixed dimensions…
The additive codes may have better parameters than linear codes. However, it is still a challenging problem to efficiently construct additive codes that outperform linear codes, especially those with greater distances than linear codes of…
The surface code is a two-dimensional topological code with code parameters that scale optimally with the number of physical qubits, under the constraint of two-dimensional locality. In three spatial dimensions an analogous simple yet…

Linear complementary dual (LCD) maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are constructed to given specifications. For given $n$ and $r<n$, with $n$ or $r$ (or both) odd, MDS LCD $(n,r)$ codes are constructed over finite fields whose…
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…
