Higher order MDS codes are an interesting generalization of MDS codes recently introduced by Brakensiek, Gopi and Makam (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 2022). In later works, they were shown to be intimately connected to optimally list-decodable…
Linear erasure codes with local repairability are desirable for distributed data storage systems. An [n, k, d] code having all-symbol (r, \delta})-locality, denoted as (r, {\delta})a, is considered optimal if it also meets the minimum…

Recently, subfield codes of geometric codes over large finite fields $\gf(q)$ with dimension $3$ and $4$ were studied and distance-optimal subfield codes over $\gf(p)$ were obtained, where $q=p^m$. The key idea for obtaining very good…
MDS codes have garnered significant attention due to their wide applications in practice. To date, most known MDS codes are equivalent to Reed-Solomon codes. The construction of non-Reed-Solomon (non-RS) type MDS codes has emerged as an…
Folded Reed-Solomon codes, introduced by Guruswami and Rudra in 2007, have been shown to achieve the information-theoretically best possible trade-off between the rate of a code and the error-correction radius. In 2024, Bergamaschi,…
We study the dual linear code of points and generators on a non-singular Hermitian variety $\mathcal{H}(2n+1,q^2)$. We improve the earlier results for $n=2$, we solve the minimum distance problem for general $n$, we classify the $n$…
A geometrically local quantum code is an error correcting code situated within $\mathbb{R}^D$, where the checks only act on qubits within a fixed spatial distance. The main question is: What is the optimal dimension and distance for a…
