We investigate the minimum distance of structured binary Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes whose parity-check matrices are of the form $[\mathbf{C} \vert \mathbf{M}]$ where $\mathbf{C}$ is circulant and of column weight $2$, and…
Reading channels where $b$-tuples of adjacent symbols are read at every step have e.g.\ applications in storage. Corresponding bounds and constructions of codes for the $b$-symbol metric, especially the pair-symbol metric where $b=2$, were…
Codes in the sum-rank metric have received many attentions in recent years, since they have wide applications in the multishot network coding, the space-time coding and the distributed storage. In this paper, by constructing covering codes…
In this paper we consider two pointsets in $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$ arising from a linear set $L$ of rank $n$ contained in a line of $\mathrm{PG}(2,q^n)$: the first one is a linear blocking set of R\'edei type, the second one extends the…
Intersecting codes are a classical object in coding theory whose rank-metric analogue has recently been introduced. Although the definition formally parallels the Hamming-metric case, the structure and parameter constraints of rank-metric…
Let $X=X(n,q)$ be the set of $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. It is well known that $X$ gives rise to a metric translation association scheme whose classes are induced by the rank metric. We study $d$-codes in this…
The aim of this work is to algebraically describe the relative generalized Hamming weights of evaluation codes. We give a lower bound for these weights in terms of a footprint bound. We prove that this bound can be sharp. We compute the…
Error control is significant to network coding, since when unchecked, errors greatly deteriorate the throughput gains of network coding and seriously undermine both reliability and security of data. Two families of codes, subspace and rank…

The main result here is a characterisation of binary $2$-neighbour-transitive codes with minimum distance at least $5$ via their minimal subcodes, which are found to be generated by certain designs. The motivation for studying this class of…
Sum-rank metric codes are a natural extension of both linear block codes and rank-metric codes. They have several applications in information theory, including multishot network coding and distributed storage systems. The aim of this…

In this paper we study the algebraic geometry of any two-point code on the Hermitian curve and reveal the purely geometric nature of their dual minimum distance. We describe the minimum-weight codewords of many of their dual codes through…
Minimum distance is an important parameter of a linear error correcting code. For improved performance of binary Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes, we need to have the minimum distance grow fast with n, the codelength. However, the best…
The problem of optimal antipodal codes can be framed as finding low rank Gram matrices $G$ with $G_{ii} = 1$ and $|G_{ij}| \leq \epsilon$ for $1 \leq i \neq j \leq n$. In 2018, Bukh and Cox introduced a new bounding technique by removing…
The generalized Hamming weights (GHWs) are fundamental parameters of linear codes. In this paper, we investigate the generalized Hamming weights of two classes of linear codes constructed from defining sets and determine them completely…
We show that the sequence of dimensions of the linear spaces, generated by a given rank-metric code together with itself under several applications of a field automorphism, is an invariant for the whole equivalence class of the code. The…
We address the maximum size of binary codes and binary constant weight codes with few distances. Previous works established a number of bounds for these quantities as well as the exact values for a range of small code lengths. As our main…
