Weight enumerators are important tools for deciphering the algebraic structure of the related code spaces and for understanding group actions on these spaces. Our study focuses on symmetrized weight enumerators of pairs of Type II codes…
We provide a combinatorial construction for linear codes attaining the maximum possible number of distinct weights. We then introduce the related problem of determining the existence of linear codes with an arbitrary number of distinct…

This article is a continuation of our recent work (Yin Chen and Runxuan Zhang, Shape enumerators of self-dual NRT codes over finite fields. SIAM J. Discrete Math. 38 (2024), no. 4, 2841-2854) in the setting of quantum error-correcting…
The weight hierarchy of a linear code has been an important research topic in coding theory since Wei's original work in 1991. Choosing $ D=\Big\{(x,y)\in \Big(\F_{p^{s_1}}\times\F_{p^{s_2}}\Big)\Big\backslash\{(0,0)\}: f(x)+g(y)=0\Big\}$…
Recently, some infinite families of binary minimal and optimal linear codes are constructed from simplicial complexes by Hyun {\em et al}. Inspired by their work, we present two new constructions of codes over the ring $\Bbb F_2+u\Bbb F_2$…
Combinatorial designs are closely related to linear codes. In recent year, there are a lot of $t$-designs constructed from certain linear codes. In this paper, we aim to construct $2$-designs from binary three-weight codes. For any binary…
The paper describes a method to determine symmetrized weight enumerators of $p^m$-linear codes based on the notion of a disjoint weight enumerator. Symmetrized weight enumerators are given for the lifted quadratic residue codes of length 24…
Linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, several classes of $p$-ary linear codes with two or three weights are constructed…
In this paper, a class of two-weight and three-weight linear codes over $\gf(p)$ is constructed, and their application in secret sharing is investigated. Some of the linear codes obtained are optimal in the sense that they meet certain…
We introduce a general class of codes which includes several well-known classes of deletion/insertion correcting codes as special cases. For example, the Helberg code, the Levenshtein code, the Varshamov--Tenengolts code, and most variants…
In this article, we show explicitly all possible weight enumerators for every irreducible cyclic code of length $n$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$, in the case which each prime divisor of $n$ is also a divisor of $q-1$.
Three classes of binary linear codes with at most four nonzero weights were constructed in this paper, in which two of them are projective three-weight codes. As applications, $s$-sum sets for any odd $ s > 1$ were constructed.
Let $p$ be a prime number. Irreducible cyclic codes of length $p^2-1$ and dimension $2$ over the integers modulo $p^h$ are shown to have exactly two nonzero Hamming weights. The construction uses the Galois ring of characteristic $p^h$ and…
The number-theoretic codes are a class of codes defined by single or multiple congruences. These codes are mainly used for correcting insertion and deletion errors, and for correcting asymmetric errors. This paper presents a formula for a…
Currently known secondary construction techniques for linear codes mainly include puncturing, shortening, and extending. In this paper, we propose a novel method for the secondary construction of linear codes based on their weight…
We construct a family of two-Lee-weight codes over the ring $R_k,$ which is defined as trace codes with algebraic structure of abelian codes. The Lee weight distribution of the two-weight codes is given. Taking the Gray map, we obtain…
In the recent work \cite{shi18}, a combinatorial problem concerning linear codes over a finite field $\F_q$ was introduced. In that work the authors studied the weight set of an $[n,k]_q$ linear code, that is the set of non-zero distinct…
In this paper, we construct four families of linear codes over finite fields from the complements of either the union of subfields or the union of cosets of a subfield, which can produce infinite families of optimal linear codes, including…
