We investigate the packing and covering densities of linear and nonlinear binary codes, and establish a number of duality relationships between the packing and covering problems. Specifically, we prove that if almost all codes (in the class…

Linear complementary dual codes (or codes with complementary duals) are codes whose intersections with their dual codes are trivial. We study binary linear complementary dual $[n,k]$ codes with the largest minimum weight among all binary…

In this work, we study two types of constraints on two-dimensional binary arrays. In particular, given $p,\epsilon>0$, we study (i) The $p$-bounded constraint: a binary vector of size $m$ is said to be $p$-bounded if its weight is at most…

Error control is significant to network coding, since when unchecked, errors greatly deteriorate the throughput gains of network coding and seriously undermine both reliability and security of data. Two families of codes, subspace and rank…

Weight enumerators are important tools for deciphering the algebraic structure of the related code spaces and for understanding group actions on these spaces. Our study focuses on symmetrized weight enumerators of pairs of Type II codes…

Recently, linear codes constructed from defining sets have been studied extensively. They may have nice parameters if the defining set is chosen properly. Let $ m >2$ be a positive integer. For an odd prime $ p $, let $ r=p^m $ and…

In this paper we define and study a family of codes which come close to be MRD codes, so we call them AMRD codes (almost MRD). An AMRD code is a code with rank defect equal to 1. AMRD codes whose duals are AMRD are called dually AMRD.…
