In this paper, we show that the projective Reed-Muller~(PRM) codes form a family of locally correctable codes~(LCC) in the regime of low query complexities. A PRM code is specified by the alphabet size $q$, the number of variables $m$, and…

An explicit construction of a family of binary LDPC codes called LU(3,q), where q is a power of a prime, was recently given. A conjecture was made for the dimensions of these codes when q is odd. The conjecture is proved in this note. The…

Let $A_q(n,d)$ be the maximum order (maximum number of codewords) of a $q$-ary code of length $n$ and Hamming distance at least $d$. And let $A(n,d,w)$ that of a binary code of constant weight $w$. Building on results from algebraic graph…

It is well known that a random q-ary code of rate \Omega(\epsilon^2) is list decodable up to radius (1 - 1/q - \epsilon) with list sizes on the order of 1/\epsilon^2, with probability 1 - o(1). However, until recently, a similar statement…

In this paper, we show that LCD codes are not equivalent to linear codes over small finite fields. The enumeration of binary optimal LCD codes is obtained. We also get the exact value of LD$(n,2)$ over $\mathbb{F}_3$ and $\mathbb{F}_4$. We…

It was shown in \cite{GXY18} that the length $n$ of a $q$-ary linear locally recoverable code with distance $d\ge 5$ is upper bounded by $O(dq^3)$. Thus, it is a challenging problem to construct $q$-ary locally recoverable codes with…
