Recently some mixed alphabet rings are involved in constructing few-Lee weight additive codes with optimal or minimal Gray images using suitable defining sets or down-sets. Inspired by these works, we choose the mixed alphabet ring…
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…

We consider a two-unicast-$Z$ network over a directed acyclic graph of unit capacitated edges; the two-unicast-$Z$ network is a special case of two-unicast networks where one of the destinations has apriori side information of the unwanted…
Let $p$ be an odd prime number. In this paper, we construct $2(2p-3)$ classes of codes over the ring $R=\Bbb F_p+u\Bbb F_p,u^2=0$, which are associated with down sets. We compute the Lee weight distributions of the $2(2p-3)$ classes of…
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…
Linearized polynomials have attracted a lot of attention because of their applications in both geometric and algebraic areas. Let $q$ be a prime power, $n$ be a positive integer and $\sigma$ be a generator of…
A pair $(C, D)$ of group codes over group algebra $R[G]$ is called a linear complementary pair (LCP) if $C \oplus D =R[G]$, where $R$ is a finite principal ideal ring, and $G$ is a finite group. We provide a necessary and sufficient…
Determining the weight distribution of a linear code is a classical and fundamental topic in coding theory that has been extensively investigated. Repeated-root cyclic codes, which form a significant subclass of error-correcting codes, have…
Lifted maximum rank distance (MRD) codes, which are constant dimension codes, are considered. It is shown that a lifted MRD code can be represented in such a way that it forms a block design known as a transversal design. A slightly…
The $p$-rank of a Steiner triple system $B$ is the dimension of the linear span of the set of characteristic vectors of blocks of $B$, over GF$(p)$. We derive a formula for the number of different Steiner triple systems of order $v$ and…
We consider point sets in $\mathbb{Z}_n^2$ where no three points are on a line - also called caps or arcs. For the determination of caps with maximum cardinality and complete caps with minimum cardinality we provide integer linear…
Recently, linear codes with few weights have been widely studied, since they have applications in data storage systems, communication systems and consumer electronics. In this paper, we present a class of three-weight and five-weight linear…
A construction of 2-quasi-perfect Lee codes is given over the space $\mathbb Z_p^n$ for $p$ prime, $p\equiv \pm 5\pmod{12}$ and $n=2[\frac{p}{4}]$. It is known that there are infinitely many such primes. Golomb and Welch conjectured that…
The main aim of this paper is to study $LCD$ codes. Linear code with complementary dual($LCD$) are those codes which have their intersection with their dual code as $\{0\}$. In this paper we will give rather alternative proof of Massey's…
Rank modulation is a way of encoding information to correct errors in flash memory devices as well as impulse noise in transmission lines. Modeling rank modulation involves construction of packings of the space of permutations equipped with…
We classify all $q$-ary $\Delta$-divisible linear codes which are spanned by codewords of weight $\Delta$. The basic building blocks are the simplex codes, and for $q=2$ additionally the first order Reed-Muller codes and the parity check…

The classical way of extending an $[n, k, d]$ linear code $\C$ is to add an overall parity-check coordinate to each codeword of the linear code $\C$. This extended code, denoted by $\overline{\C}(-\bone)$ and called the standardly extended…
