The covering radius is a fundamental property of linear codes that characterizes the trade-off between storage and access in linear data-query protocols. The generalized covering radius was recently defined by Elimelech and Schwartz for…

The binary Hamming codes with parameters $[2^m-1, 2^m-1-m, 3]$ are perfect. Their extended codes have parameters $[2^m, 2^m-1-m, 4]$ and are distance-optimal. The first objective of this paper is to construct a class of binary linear codes…
Symbol-pair codes introduced by Cassuto and Blaum in 2010 are designed to protect against the pair errors in symbol-pair read channels. One of the central themes in symbol-error correction is the construction of maximal distance separable…
A covering code is a subset $\mathcal{C} \subseteq \{0,1\}^n$ with the property that any $z \in \{0,1\}^n$ is close to some $c \in \mathcal{C}$ in Hamming distance. For every $\epsilon,\delta>0$, we show a construction of a family of codes…
In this paper we consider codes in $\mathbb{F}_q^{s\times r}$ with packing radius $R$ regarding the NRT-metric (i.e. when the underlying poset is a disjoint union of chains with the same length) and we establish necessary condition on the…
