We study the minimum distance of codes defined on bipartite graphs. Weight spectrum and the minimum distance of a random ensemble of such codes are computed. It is shown that if the vertex codes have minimum distance $\ge 3$, the overall…

Linear codes have been an interesting subject of study for many years, as linear codes with few weights have applications in secrete sharing, authentication codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, a class of…
In the present paper we introduce and study finite point subsets of a special kind, called optimum distributions, in the n-dimensional unit cube. Such distributions are closely related with known (delta,s,n)-nets of low discrepancy. It…
We derive a new estimate of the size of finite sets of points in metric spaces with few distances. The following applications are considered: (1) we improve the Ray-Chaudhuri--Wilson bound of the size of uniform intersecting families of…
In this paper, for an odd prime power $q$, we extend the construction of Xie et al. \cite{XOYM2023} to propose two classes of linear codes $\mathcal{C}_{Q}$ and $\mathcal{C}_{Q}'$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ with at most four…
We obtain all possible parameters of Plotkin-optimal two-Lee weight projective codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4,$ together with their weight distributions. We show the existence of codes with these parameters as well as their weight distributions…
As a special class of linear codes, minimal linear codes have important applications in secret sharing and secure two-party computation. Constructing minimal linear codes with new and desirable parameters has been an interesting research…
Three classes of binary linear codes with at most four nonzero weights were constructed in this paper, in which two of them are projective three-weight codes. As applications, $s$-sum sets for any odd $ s > 1$ were constructed.
A generator matrix of a linear code $\C$ over $\gf(q)$ is also a matrix of the same rank $k$ over any extension field $\gf(q^\ell)$ and generates a linear code of the same length, same dimension and same minimum distance over $\gf(q^\ell)$,…
One of the main problems in random network coding is to compute good lower and upper bounds on the achievable cardinality of the so-called subspace codes in the projective space $\mathcal{P}_q(n)$ for a given minimum distance. The…
Currently known secondary construction techniques for linear codes mainly include puncturing, shortening, and extending. In this paper, we propose a novel method for the secondary construction of linear codes based on their weight…
Determining the weight distribution of a code is an old and fundamental topic in coding theory that has been thoroughly studied. In 1977, Helleseth, Kl{\o}ve, and Mykkeltveit presented a weight enumerator polynomial of the lifted code over…
