We give an explicit characterization of all minimal value set polynomials in $\F_q[x]$ whose set of values is a subfield $\F_{q'}$ of $\F_{q}$. We show that the set of such polynomials, together with the constants of $\F_{q'}$, is an…

Partial spread is important in finite geometry and can be used to construct linear codes. From the results in (Designs, Codes and Cryptography 90:1-15, 2022) by Xia Li, Qin Yue and Deng Tang, we know that if the number of the elements in a…

Using geometric properties of the variety $\cV_{r,t}$, the image under the Grassmannian map of a Desarguesian $(t-1)$-spread of $\PG(rt-1,q)$, we introduce error correcting codes related to the twisted tensor product construction, producing…
The weight spectrum plays a crucial role in the performance of error-correcting codes. Despite substantial theoretical exploration of polar codes with mother code length, a framework for the weight spectrum of rate-compatible polar codes…
Multivariate multiplicity codes (Kopparty, Saraf, and Yekhanin, J. ACM 2014) are linear codes where the codewords are described by evaluations of multivariate polynomials (with a degree bound) and their derivatives up to a fixed order, on a…
