We investigate the construction of prefix-free and fix-free codes with specified codeword compositions. We present a polynomial time algorithm which constructs a fix-free code with the same codeword compositions as a given code for a…
This paper proposes an easy-to-compute upper bound for the overlap index between two probability distributions without requiring any knowledge of the distribution models. The computation of our bound is time-efficient and memory-efficient…
We investigate perfect codes in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ under the $\ell_p$ metric. Upper bounds for the packing radius $r$ of a linear perfect code, in terms of the metric parameter $p$ and the dimension $n$ are derived. For $p = 2$ and $n = 2, 3$,…
For a linear Hamming metric code of length n over a finite field, the number of distinct weights of its codewords is at most n. The codes achieving the equality in the above bound were called full weight spectrum codes. In this paper we…
Achieving bound consistency for the no-overlap constraint is known to be NP-complete. Therefore, several polynomial-time tightening techniques, such as edge finding, not-first-not-last reasoning, and energetic reasoning, have been…
A code is called solid if, roughly speaking, any correctly-transmitted codeword in an arbitrarily corrupted string of codewords can still be decoded correctly and unambiguously. So-called variable-length solid codes, in which codewords may…
We give a new asymptotic upper bound on the size of a code in the Grassmannian space. The bound is better than the upper bounds known previously in the entire range of distances except very large values.

This paper extends the foundational work of Dollma \emph{et al}. on codes for ordered composite DNA sequences. We consider the general setting with an alphabet of size $q$ and a resolution parameter $k$, moving beyond the binary ($q=2$)…
In this article, we construct linear codes over the commutative non-unital ring $I$ of size four. We obtain their Lee-weight distributions and study their binary Gray images. Under certain mild conditions, these classes of binary codes are…
We consider linear codes over a field in which the error values are restricted to a subgroup of its unit group. This scenario captures Lee distance codes as well as codes over the Gaussian or Eisenstein integers. Codes correcting restricted…
Recently, simplicial complexes are used in constructions of several infinite families of minimal and optimal linear codes by Hyun {\em et al.} Building upon their research, in this paper more linear codes over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_4$ are…
In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for a cyclic code of arbitrary length over the non-chain rings $Z_{4}+\nu Z_{4}$ for $\nu^{2} \in \{0,1,\nu,2\nu,3\nu,2+\nu,2+3\nu,3+2\nu\}$ to be a reversible cyclic code have been…
Determining the maximum size of a $t$-intersecting code in $[m]^n$ was a longstanding open problem of Frankl and F\"uredi, solved independently by Ahlswede and Khachatrian and by Frankl and Tokushige. We extend their result to the setting…
In this work, we define a modification of a bordered construction for self-dual codes which utilises $\lambda$-circulant matrices. We provide the necessary conditions for the construction to produce self-dual codes over finite commutative…

This research announcement describes in very rough terms methods and a computer language under development, which can be used to prove the nonexistence of binary linear codes. Over a hundred new results have been obtained by the author. For…
Some mutually quasi-unbiased weighing matrices are constructed from binary codes satisfying certain conditions. Motivated by this, in this note, we study binary codes satisfying the conditions. The weight distributions of binary codes…
