The hull of a linear code $C$ is the intersection of $C$ with its dual. To the best of our knowledge, there are very few constructions of binary linear codes with the hull dimension $\ge 2$ except for self-orthogonal codes. We propose a…
A constant weight binary code consists of $n$-bit binary codewords, each with exactly $w$ bits equal to 1, such that any two codewords are at least Hamming distance $d$ apart. $A(n,d,w)$ is the maximum size of a constant weight binary code…

The study of constant-weight codes in $\ell_1$-metric was motivated by the duplication-correcting problem for data storage in live DNA. It is interesting to determine the maximum size of a code given the length $n$, weight $w$, minimum…

Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, monomials and trinomials over…
An optimal constant-composition or constant-weight code of weight $w$ has linear size if and only if its distance $d$ is at least $2w-1$. When $d\geq 2w$, the determination of the exact size of such a constant-composition or constant-weight…
Practically good error-correcting codes should have good parameters and efficient decoding algorithms. Some algebraically defined good codes such as cyclic codes, Reed-Solomon codes, and Reed-Muller codes have nice decoding algorithms.…
