The hull of a linear code is defined to be the intersection of the code and its dual. When the size of the hull is small, it has been proved that some algorithms for checking permutation equivalence of two linear codes and computing the…
We define Convolutional Goppa Codes over algebraic curves and construct their corresponding dual codes. Examples over the projective line and over elliptic curves are described, obtaining in particular some Maximum-Distance Separable (MDS)…
We present new bounds on the existence of general quantum maximum distance separable codes (QMDS): the length $n$ of all QMDS codes with local dimension $D$ and distance $d \geq 3$ is bounded by $n \leq D^2 + d - 2$. We obtain their weight…
The derived category of a general complete intersection of four quadrics in P^{2n-1} has a semi-orthogonal decomposition < O(-2n+9), ..., O(-1), O, D >, where D is the derived category of twisted sheaves on a certain non-algebraic complex…
In this paper, we study the weight spectrum of linear codes with \emph{super-linear} field size and use the probabilistic method to show that for nearly all such codes, the corresponding weight spectrum is very close to that of a maximum…
This paper gives new methods of constructing {\it symmetric self-dual codes} over a finite field $GF(q)$ where $q$ is a power of an odd prime. These methods are motivated by the well-known Pless symmetry codes and quadratic double circulant…
Multiple coverings of the farthest-off points ($(R,\mu)$-MCF codes) and the corresponding $(\rho,\mu)$-saturating sets in projective spaces $PG(N,q)$ are considered. We propose and develop some methods which allow us to obtain new small…
We study complementary information set codes of length $tn$ and dimension $n$ of order $t$ called ($t-$CIS code for short). Quasi-cyclic and quasi-twisted $t$-CIS codes are enumerated by using their concatenated structure. Asymptotic…
We prove that any Hermitian self-orthogonal $[n,k,d]_{q^2}$ code gives rise to an $[n,k,d]_{q^2}$ code with $\ell$ dimensional Hermitian hull for $0\le \ell \le k$. We present a new method to construct Hermitian self-orthogonal…
In this paper, we produce new classes of MDS self-dual codes via (extended) generalized Reed-Solomon codes over finite fields of odd characteristic. Among our constructions, there are many MDS self-dual codes with new parameters which have…
The parameters of a $q$-ary MDS Euclidean self-dual codes are completely determined by its length and the construction of MDS Euclidean self-dual codes with new length has been widely investigated in recent years. In this paper, we give a…
We construct MDS Euclidean and Hermitian self-dual codes over large finite fields of odd and even characteristics. Our codes arise from cyclic and negacyclic duadic codes.
We study additive quaternary codes whose parameters are close to those of the extended cyclic [12; 6; 6]4-code or to the quaternary linear codes generated by the elliptic quadric in PG(3; 4) or its dual. In particular we characterize those…
In the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(N,q)$ over the Galois field of order $q$, $N\ge3$, an iterative step-by-step construction of complete caps by adding a new point on every step is considered. It is proved that uncovered points are evenly…
This paper focuses on constructions for optimal $2$-D $(n\times m,3,2,1)$-optical orthogonal codes with $m\equiv 0\ ({\rm mod}\ 4)$. An upper bound on the size of such codes is established. It relies heavily on the size of optimal…
The Desarguesian ovoids in the orthogonal polar space $Q^+(7,q)$ with $q$ even have first been introduced by Kantor by examining the $8$-dimensional absolutely irreducible modular representations of $\text{PGL}(2,q^3)$. We investigate this…
The weights in MDS codes of length n and dimension k over the finite field GF(q) are studied. Up to some explicit exceptional cases, the MDS codes with parameters given by the MDS conjecture are shown to contain all k weights in the range…
Near maximum distance separable (NMDS) codes are important in finite geometry and coding theory. Self-dual codes are closely related to combinatorics, lattice theory, and have important application in cryptography. In this paper, we…
In this paper we study combinatorial invariants of the equivalence classes of pencils of cubics on $\mathrm{PG}(1,q)$, for $q$ odd and $q$ not divisible by 3. These equivalence classes are considered as orbits of lines in…
A linear code with parameters $[n,k,n-k]$ is said to be almost maximum distance separable (AMDS for short). An AMDS code whose dual is also AMDS is referred to as an near maximum distance separable (NMDS for short) code. NMDS codes have…
