Binary matrix codes with restricted row and column weights are a desirable method of coded modulation for power line communication. In this work, we construct such matrix codes that are obtained as products of affine codes - cosets of…
A linear code is called an MDS self-dual code if it is both an MDS code and a self-dual code with respect to the Euclidean inner product. The parameters of such codes are completely determined by the code length. In this paper, we consider…
Huffman Codes are optimal Instantaneous Fixed-to-Variable (FV) codes in which every source symbol can only be encoded by one codeword. Relaxing these constraints permits constructing better FV codes. More specifically, recent work has shown…
A sharp upper bound for the maximum integer not belonging to an ideal of a numerical semigroup is given and the ideals attaining this bound are characterized. Then the result is used, through the so-called Feng-Rao numbers, to bound the…
Cyclic codes are an interesting family of linear codes since they have efficient decoding algorithms and contain optimal codes as subfamilies. Constructing infinite families of cyclic codes with good parameters is important in both theory…
Linear codes with few weights have applications in secret sharing, authentication codes, association schemes and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, several classes of two-weight and three-weight linear codes are presented and their…
Constructions of distance-optimal codes and quasi-perfect codes are challenging problems and have attracted many attentions. In this paper, we give the following three results. 1) If $\lambda|q^{sm}-1$ and $\lambda…
The following source coding problem was introduced by Birk and Kol: a sender holds a word $x\in\{0,1\}^n$, and wishes to broadcast a codeword to $n$ receivers, $R_1,...,R_n$. The receiver $R_i$ is interested in $x_i$, and has prior…
It is known that some good linear codes over a finite ring (R-linear codes) arise from interesting point constellations in certain projective geometries. For example, the expurgated Nordstrom-Robinson code, a nonlinear binary [14,6,6]-code…
Affine Cartesian codes were first discussed by Geil and Thomsen in 2013 in a broader framework and were formally introduced by L\'opez, Renter\'ia-M\'arquez and Villarreal in 2014. These are linear error-correcting codes obtained by…
An $[n, k, n-k+1]$ linear code is called an MDS code. An $[n, k, n-k]$ linear code is said to be almost maximum distance separable (almost MDS or AMDS for short). A code is said to be near maximum distance separable (near MDS or NMDS for…
We prove new upper bounds on the smallest size of affine blocking sets, that is, sets of points in a finite affine space that intersect every affine subspace of a fixed codimension. We show an equivalence between affine blocking sets with…
Locally repairable codes have become a key instrument in large-scale distributed storage systems. This paper focuses on the construction of locally repairable codes with $(r,\delta)$-locality that achieve the equality in the Singleton-type…

Linear codes with a few weights are very important in coding theory and have attracted a lot of attention. In this paper, we present a construction of $q$-ary linear codes from trace and norm functions over finite fields. The weight…

Goppa, in the 1970s, discovered the relation between algebraic geometry and codes, which led to the family of Goppa codes. As one of the most interesting subclasses of linear codes, the family of Goppa codes is often chosen as a key in the…
In this article we mainly study linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ and their binary subfield codes. We construct linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ whose defining sets are the certain subsets of $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}^m$ obtained from…
