Linear codes play a central role in coding theory and have applications in several branches of mathematics. For error correction purposes the minimum Hamming distance should be as large as possible. Linear codes related to applications in…
A code over GF$(q^m)$ can be imaged or expanded into a code over GF$(q)$ using a basis for the extension field over the base field. The properties of such an image depend on the original code and the basis chosen for imaging. Problems…
