Best and Brouwer [Discrete Math. 17 (1977), 235-245] proved that triply-shortened and doubly-shortened binary Hamming codes (which have length $2^m-4$ and $2^m-3$, respectively) are optimal. Properties of such codes are here studied,…
Polar codes are usually constructed by ranking synthetic bit-channels according to reliability, which guarantees capacity-achieving behavior but can yield poor low-weight spectra at short and moderate lengths. Recent algebraic results…
