Despite the theoretical and practical significance of BCH codes, the exact minimum distance and dimension remain unknown for many families. This paper establishes the precise minimum distance and dimension of narrow-sense BCH codes $\C_{(q,…
We study the minimum number of minimal codewords in linear codes from the point of view of projective geometry. We derive bounds and in some cases determine the exact values. We also present an extension to minimal subcode supports.
Let $D$ be an orientation of a simple graph. Given $u,v\in V(D)$, a directed shortest $(u,v)$-path is a $(u,v)$-geodesic. $S \subseteq V(D)$ is convex if, for every $u,v \in S$, the vertices in each $(u,v)$-geodesic and in each…
In this paper, we consider the unit graph $G(\mathbb{Z}_{n})$, where $n=p_{1}^{n_{1}} \text{ or } p_{1}^{n_{1}}p_{2}^{n_{2}} \text{ or } p_{1}^{n_{1}}p_{2}^{n_{2}}p_{3}^{n_{3}}$ and $p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3}$ are distinct primes. For any prime…
In this work, we study the computational complexity of the Minimum Distance Code Detection problem. In this problem, we are given a set of noisy codeword observations and we wish to find a code in a set of linear codes $\mathcal{C}$ of a…
A construction is presented that allows to produce subspace codes of long length using subspace codes of shorter length in combination with a rank metric code. The subspace distance of the resulting code, called linkage code, is as good as…

A code is a subset of the vertex set of a Hamming graph. The set of $s$-neighbours of a code is the set of all vertices at Hamming distance $s$ from their nearest codeword. A code $C$ is $s$-elusive if there exists a distinct code $C'$ that…

The high-density data storage technology aims to design high-capacity storage at a relatively low cost. In order to achieve this goal, symbol-pair codes were proposed by Cassuto and Blaum \cite{CB10,CB11} to handle channels that output…
We study the functional codes $C_h(X)$ defined by G. Lachaud in $\lbrack 10 \rbrack$ where $X \subset {\mathbb{P}}^N$ is an algebraic projective variety of degree $d$ and dimension $m$. When $X$ is a hermitian surface in $PG(3,q)$,…
We show that, for vector spaces in which distance measurement is performed using a gauge, the existence of best coapproximations in $1$-codimensional closed linear subspaces implies in dimensions $\geq 2$ that the gauge is a norm, and in…
The fractal dimensions of the hull, the external perimeter and of the red bonds are measured through Monte Carlo simulations for dilute minimal models, and compared with predictions from conformal field theory and SLE methods. The dilute…
If $C_n(\mathbb{R}^d)$ denotes the configuration space of $n$ distinct points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we construct a sequence of maps $(f_m),$ $m \geq 1$, where \[f_m: C_n(\mathbb{R}^d) \times \mathbb{R}^d \to \mathbb{R}^d\] is real analytic,…
Given a commutative ring $R$ with identity, a matrix $A\in M_{s\times l}(R)$, and $R$-linear codes $\mathcal{C}_1, \dots, \mathcal{C}_s$ of the same length, this article considers the hull of the matrix-product codes $[\mathcal{C}_1 \dots…
In this paper, we consider the Reed-Muller (RM) codes. For the first order RM code, we prove that it is unique in the sense that any linear code with the same length, dimension and minimum distance must be the first order RM code; For the…
The number-theoretic codes are a class of codes defined by single or multiple congruences and are mainly used for correcting insertion and deletion errors. Since the number-theoretic codes are generally non-linear, the analysis method for…
We describe and explore so-called linear hash functions and show how they can be used to build error detection and correction codes. The method can be applied for different types of errors (for example, burst errors). When the method is…
