An additive quaternary $[n,k,d]$-code (length $n,$ quaternary dimension $k,$ minimum distance $d$) is a $2k$-dimensional F_2-vector space of $n$-tuples with entries in $Z_2\times Z_2$ (the $2$-dimensional vector space over F_2) with minimum…
In this paper we consider the existence of nontrivial perfect codes in the Johnson graph J(n,w). We present combinatorial and number theory techniques to provide necessary conditions for existence of such codes and reduce the range of…
We study the problem of existence of (nontrivial) perfect codes in the discrete $ n $-simplex $ \Delta_{\ell}^n := \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} x_0, \ldots, x_n \end{pmatrix} : x_i \in \mathbb{Z}_{+}, \sum_i x_i = \ell \right\} $ under $ \ell_1…
We improve the upper bound of Levenshtein for the cardinality of a code of length 4 capable of correcting single deletions over an alphabet of even size. We also illustrate that the new upper bound is sharp. Furthermore we will construct an…
Linear codes and $t$-designs are interactive with each other. It is well known that some $t$-designs have been constructed by using certain linear codes in recent years. However, only a small number of infinite families of the extended…
Let $\cal M$ denote the set ${\cal S}_{n, q}$ of $n \times n$ symmetric matrices with entries in ${\rm GF}(q)$ or the set ${\cal H}_{n, q^2}$ of $n \times n$ Hermitian matrices whose elements are in ${\rm GF}(q^2)$. Then $\cal M$ equipped…
In 1998, Lin presented a conjecture on a class of ternary sequences with ideal 2-level autocorrelation in his Ph.D thesis. Those sequences have a very simple structure, i.e., their trace representation has two trace monomial terms. In this…
We answer a question of Harju: An infinite square-free ternary word with an $n$-stem factorization exists for any $n\ge 13$. We show that there are uniform ternary morphisms of length $k$ for every $k\ge 23$. This resolves almost completely…
We describe a new parameterized family of symmetric error-correcting codes with low-density parity-check matrices (LDPC). Our codes can be described in two seemingly different ways. First, in relation to Reed-Muller codes: our codes are…
A well studied problem in algebraic complexity theory is the determination of the complexity of problems relying on evaluations of bilinear maps. One measure of the complexity of a bilinear map (or 3-tensor) is the optimal number of…
Combinatorial $t$-designs have been an interesting topic in combinatorics for decades. It is a basic fact that the codewords of a fixed weight in a code may hold a $t$-design. Till now only a small amount of work on constructing $t$-designs…
In this paper, we consider the Reed-Muller (RM) codes. For the first order RM code, we prove that it is unique in the sense that any linear code with the same length, dimension and minimum distance must be the first order RM code; For the…
This work shows several direct and recursive constructions of ordered covering arrays using projection, fusion, column augmentation, derivation, concatenation and cartesian product. Upper bounds on covering codes in NRT spaces are also…
In this paper we present a family of $q$-ary nonlinear quasi-perfect codes with covering radius 2. The codes have length $n = q^m$ and size $ M = q^{n - m - 1}$ where $q$ is a prime power, $q \geq 3$, $m$ is an integer, $m \geq 2$. We prove…
We study the rank weight hierarchy, thus in particular the rank metric, of cyclic codes over the finite field $\mathbb F_{q^m}$, $q$ a prime power, $m \geq 2$. We establish the rank weight hierarchy for $[n,n-1]$ cyclic codes and…
Binary self-orthogonal codes and balanced incomplete block designs are two combinatorial configurations that have been much studied because of their wide areas of application. In this paper, we have shown the distribution of (16; 6;…
A generic construction of linear codes over finite fields has recently received a lot of attention, and many one-weight, two-weight and three-weight codes with good error correcting capability have been produced with this generic approach.…
We introduce a variant of de Bruijn words that we call perfect necklaces. Fix a finite alphabet. Recall that a word is a finite sequence of symbols in the alphabet and a circular word, or necklace, is the equivalence class of a word under…
We present new constructions of codes for asymmetric channels for both binary and nonbinary alphabets, based on methods of generalized code concatenation. For the binary asymmetric channel, our methods construct nonlinear…
An extended $1$-perfect trade is a pair $(T_0,T_1)$ of two disjoint binary distance-$4$ even-weight codes such that the set of words at distance $1$ from $T_0$ coincides with the set of words at distance $1$ from $T_1$. Such trade is called…
