Most well-known constructions of $(N \times n, q^{Nk}, d)$ maximum rank distance (MRD) codes rely on the arithmetic of $\mathbb{F}_{q^N}$, whose increasing complexity with larger $N$ hinders parameter selection and practical implementation.…

We revisit and extend the connections between $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$-linear rank-metric codes and evasive $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^k$. We give a unifying framework in which we prove in an elementary way how the parameters…

Intersecting codes are a classical object in coding theory whose rank-metric analogue has recently been introduced. Although the definition formally parallels the Hamming-metric case, the structure and parameter constraints of rank-metric…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a distance-regular graph. The maximum size of codewords with minimum distance at least $d$ is denoted by $A(\Gamma,d)$. Let $\square_n$ denote the folded $n$-cube $H(n,2)$. We give an upper bound on $A(\square_n,d)$…

The singleton defect of an $[n,k,d]$ linear code ${\cal C}$ is defined as $s({\cal C})=n-k+1-d$. Codes with $S({\cal C})=0$ are called maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, and codes with $S(\cal C)=S(\cal C ^{\bot})=1$ are called near…

MDS codes have diverse practical applications in communication systems, data storage, and quantum codes due to their algebraic properties and optimal error-correcting capability. In this paper, we focus on a class of linear codes and…

A non-redundant integer cone generator (NICG) of dimension $d$ is a set $S$ of vectors from $\{0,1\}^d$ whose vector sum cannot be generated as a positive integer linear combination of a proper subset of $S$. The largest possible…

In this work, maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD) codes and linearized Reed-Solomon codes are extended to finite chain rings. It is proven that linearized Reed-Solomon codes are MSRD over finite chain rings, extending the known result for…

Let $N_{g,n}$ be a genus $g$ compact non-orientable surface with $n$ boundaries. We explain about relations on the level $d$ mapping class group $\mathcal{M}_d(N_{g,0})$ of $N_{g,0}$ and the level $d$ principal congruence subgroup…

Let $p$ be a prime such that $p \equiv 2$ or $3$ mod $5$. Linear block codes over the non-commutative matrix ring of $2 \times 2$ matrices over the prime field $GF(p)$ endowed with the Bachoc weight are derived as isometric images of linear…

The optimum distance profiles of linear block codes were studied for increasing or decreasing message length while keeping the minimum distances as large as possible, especially for Golay codes and the second-order Reed-Muller codes, etc.…

This article begins with an exploration of nonlinear codes ($\mathbb{F}_q$-linear subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^n$) which are generalizations of the familiar Reed-Solomon codes. This then leads to a wider exploration of nonlinear analogues…

We investigate when a maximum distance separable ($MDS$) code over $F_q$ is also completely regular ($CR$). For lengths $n=q+1$ and $n=q+2$ we provide a complete classification of the $MDS$ codes that are $CR$ or at least uniformly packed…

We introduce the first example of algebraically constructed hierarchical quasi-cyclic codes. These codes are built from Reed-Solomon codes using a 1964 construction of superimposed codes by Kautz and Singleton. We show both the number of…

For any admissible value of the parameters there exist Maximum Rank distance (shortly MRD) $\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$-linear codes of $\mathbb{F}_q^{n\times n}$. It has been shown in \cite{H-TNRR} (see also \cite{ByrneRavagnani}) that, if field…

We provide a new construction of $[n,9,n-9]_q$ near-MDS codes arising from elliptic curves with $n$ ${\mathbb F}_q$-rational points. Furthermore we show that in some cases these codes cannot be extended to longer near-MDS codes.

We define a class of automorphisms of rational function fields of finite characteristic and employ these to construct different types of optimal linear rank-metric codes. The first construction is of generalized Gabidulin codes over…

In this paper, we study a class of subcodes of codimension $1$ in the $[n,k+1]_q$ generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes, whose generator matrix is derived by removing the row of degree $k-r$ from the generator matrix of the $[n,k+1]_q$ GRS…

Gabidulin codes are the first general construction of linear codes that are maximum rank distant (MRD). They have found applications in linear network coding, for example, when the transmitter and receiver are oblivious to the inner…

We construct two new families of linear codes by modifying the generator matrices of generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes. For these codes, we explicitly derive parity-check matrices and establish necessary and sufficient conditions…
