Linear codes have been an interesting topic in both theory and practice for many years. In this paper, for an odd prime $p$, we present the explicit complete weight enumerator of a family of $p$-ary linear codes constructed with defining…
Recently, linear codes constructed from defining sets have been investigated extensively and they have many applications. In this paper, for an odd prime $p$, we propose a class of $p$-ary linear codes by choosing a proper defining set.…
Recently, linear codes with a few weights were widely investigated due to their applications in secret sharing schemes and authentication schemes. In this letter, we present a class of $q$-ary linear codes derived from irreducible cyclic…
Let $\mathbb{F}_{2^m}$ be a finite field of $2^m$ elements, and $R=\mathbb{F}_{2^m}[u]/\langle u^k\rangle=\mathbb{F}_{2^m}+u\mathbb{F}_{2^m}+\ldots+u^{k-1}\mathbb{F}_{2^m}$ ($u^k=0$) where $k$ is an integer satisfying $k\geq 2$. For any odd…
Function-correcting codes, introduced by Lenz, Bitar, Wachter-Zeh, and Yaakobi, protect specific function values of a message rather than the entire message. A central challenge is determining the optimal redundancy -- the minimum…
In this article, we give the answer to the following question: Given a field $\mathbb{F}$, finite subsets $A_1,\dots,A_m$ of $\mathbb{F}$, and $r$ linearly independent polynomials $f_1,\dots,f_r \in \mathbb{F}[x_1,\dots,x_m]$ of total…
We construct optimal secure coded distributed schemes that extend the known optimal constructions over fields of characteristic 0 to all fields. A serendipitous result is that we can encode \emph{all} functions over finite fields with a…
The generalized Hamming weights of a linear code have been extensively studied since Wei first use them to characterize the cryptography performance of a linear code over the wire-tap channel of type II. In this paper, we investigate the…
Let $N$ be a non-squarefree positive integer and let $\ell$ be an odd prime such that $\ell^2$ does not divide $N$. Consider the Hecke ring $\mathbb{T}(N)$ of weight $2$ for $\Gamma_0(N)$, and its rational Eisenstein primes of…
In this paper, new few weights linear codes over the local ring $R=\mathbb{F}_p+u\mathbb{F}_p+v\mathbb{F}_p+uv\mathbb{F}_p,$ with $u^2=v^2=0, uv=vu,$ are constructed by using the trace function defined over an extension ring of degree $m.$…
In the last 60 years coding theory has been studied a lot over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ or commutative rings $\mathcal{R}$ with unity. Although in $1993$, a study on the classification of the rings (not necessarily commutative or ring…
Quadratic residue codes have been one of the most important classes of algebraic codes. They have been generalized into duadic codes and quadratic double circulant codes. In this paper we introduce a new subclass of double circulant codes,…
For each prime $\ell$, let $|\cdot|_\ell$ be an extension to $\bar \Q$ of the usual $\ell$-adic absolute value on $\Q$. Suppose $g(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty c(n)q^n \in M_{k+\half}(N)$ is an eigenform whose Fourier coefficients are algebraic…
Minimal codes are linear codes where all non-zero codewords are minimal, i.e., whose support is not properly contained in the support of another codeword. The minimum possible length of such a $k$-dimensional linear code over $\mathbb{F}_q$…
Let $f$ bea noncommutativepolynomial of degree $m\ge 1$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic $0$. If $n\ge m-1$ and $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3$ are nonzero elements from $F$ such that $\alpha_1+\alpha_2+\alpha_3=0$,…
Based on cyclic and consta-cyclic simplex codes, a new explicit construction of a family of two-weight codes is presented. These two-weight codes obtained are in the form of 2-generator quasi-cyclic, or quasi-twisted structure. Based on…
We study the effect of addition on the Hamming weight of a positive integer. Consider the first $2^n$ positive integers, and fix an $\alpha$ among them. We show that if the binary representation of $\alpha$ consists of $\Theta(n)$ blocks of…
We study small non-trivial solutions of quadratic congruences of the form $x_1^2+\alpha_2x_2^2+\alpha_3x_3^2\equiv 0 \bmod{q}$, with $q$ being an odd natural number, in an average sense. This extends previous work of the authors in which…
In this paper, we discuss the generalized Hamming weights of a class of linear codes associated with non-degenerate quadratic forms. In order to do so, we study the quadratic forms over subspaces of finite field and obtain some interesting…
