Maxmin trees are trees that consist of nodes that are either local minimums or maximums. Such trees were first studied by Postnikov. Later Dugan, Glennon, Gunnells, and Steingrimsson introduced the concept of weight to these trees and…
The classical family of $[n,k]_q$ Reed-Solomon codes over a field $\F_q$ consist of the evaluations of polynomials $f \in \F_q[X]$ of degree $< k$ at $n$ distinct field elements. In this work, we consider a closely related family of codes,…
