We define the bidirectional distance profile (BDP) of a convolutional code as the minimum of the distance profiles of the code and its corresponding "reverse" code. We present tables of codes with the optimum BDP (OBDP), which minimize the…

We generalize the notion of cyclic codes by using generator polynomials in (non commutative) skew polynomial rings. Since skew polynomial rings are left and right euclidean, the obtained codes share most properties of cyclic codes. Since…

One of the most fundamental topics in subspace coding is to explore the maximal possible value ${\bf A}_q(n,d,k)$ of a set of $k$-dimensional subspaces in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ such that the subspace distance satisfies $\operatorname{d_S}(U,V) =…

A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n-k+1]$ is called a maximum distance separable (MDS for short) code. A linear code with parameters $[n, k, n-k]$ is said to be almost maximum distance separable (AMDS for short). A linear code is said…
Superregular matrices are a class of lower triangular Toeplitz matrices that arise in the context of constructing convolutional codes having a maximum distance profile. These matrices are characterized by the property that no submatrix has…

For any admissible value of the parameters $n$ and $k$ there exist $[n,k]$-Maximum Rank distance ${\mathbb F}_q$-linear codes. Indeed, it can be shown that if field extensions large enough are considered, almost all rank distance codes are…
The mds (maximum distance separable) conjecture claims that a nontrivial linear mds $[n,k]$ code over the finite field $GF(q)$ satisfies $n \leq (q + 1)$, except when $q$ is even and $k = 3$ or $k = q- 1$ in which case it satisfies $n \leq…
