The projective space $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$, i.e. the set of all subspaces of the vector space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$, is a metric space endowed with the subspace distance metric. Braun, Etzion and Vardy argued that codes in a projective space are…

Minimal codes are being intensively studied in last years. $[n,k]_{q}$-minimal linear codes are in bijection with strong blocking sets of size $n$ in $PG(k-1,q)$ and a lower bound for the size of strong blocking sets is given by…

One of the main problems in random network coding is to compute good lower and upper bounds on the achievable cardinality of the so-called subspace codes in the projective space $\mathcal{P}_q(n)$ for a given minimum distance. The…

A new construction for constant weight codes is presented. The codes are constructed from $k$-dimensional subspaces of the vector space $\F_q^n$. These subspaces form a constant dimension code in the Grassmannian space $\cG_q(n,k)$. Some of…

An $(n,r,s)$-system is an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices such that every pair of edges has an intersection of size less than $s$. Using probabilistic arguments, R\"{o}dl and \v{S}i\v{n}ajov\'{a} showed that for all fixed integers…

A basic problem in constant dimension subspace coding is to determine the maximal possible size ${\bf A}_q(n,d,k)$ of a set of $k$-dimensional subspaces in ${\bf F}_q^n$ such that the subspace distance satisfies…

We classify all finite linear spaces on at most 15 points admitting a blocking set. There are no such spaces on 11 or fewer points, one on 12 points, one on 13 points, two on 14 points, and five on 15 points. The proof makes extensive use…

Finding the maximum number of maximal independent sets in an $n$-vertex graph $G$, $i(G)$, from a restricted class is an extensively studied problem. Let $kK_2$ denote the matching of size $k$, that is a graph with $2k$ vertices and $k$…

In this paper, we characterise the smallest sets $B$ consisting of points and hyperplanes in $\text{PG}(n,q)$, such that each $k$-space is incident with at least one element of $B$. If $k > \frac {n-1} 2$, then the smallest construction…

A locally-optimal structure is a combinatorial structure such as a maximal independent set that cannot be improved by certain (greedy) local moves, even though it may not be globally optimal. It is trivial to construct an independent set in…

In this paper, we introduce a novel explicit family of subcodes of Reed-Solomon (RS) codes that efficiently achieve list decoding capacity with a constant output list size. Our approach builds upon the idea of large linear subcodes of RS…

By an additive structure on a hypersurface S in projective space we mean an effective action of commutative unipotent group on projective space which leaves S invariant and acts on S with an open orbit. It is known that these structures…
