We observe that the Dieudonn\'{e} determinant induces a non-negative degree function on the ring of matrices over a skew polynomial ring. We then apply this degree function to two examples. In the first one, we find an expression for the…

Let $\cal M$ denote the set ${\cal S}_{n, q}$ of $n \times n$ symmetric matrices with entries in ${\rm GF}(q)$ or the set ${\cal H}_{n, q^2}$ of $n \times n$ Hermitian matrices whose elements are in ${\rm GF}(q^2)$. Then $\cal M$ equipped…

Let $A=\frac{\mathbb{F}[x]}{\langle f(x)\rangle }$, where $f(x)$ is a monic polynomial over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. In this paper, we study the relation between $A$-codes and their duals. In particular, we state a counterexample and a…

Generalized Reed-Solomon codes form the most prominent class of maximum distance separable (MDS) codes, codes that are optimal in the sense that their minimum distance cannot be improved for a given length and code size. The study of codes…

Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) self-dual codes are of significant theoretical and practical importance. Generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes are the most prominent MDS codes. Correspondingly there have been many research on constructions…

Codes in the sum-rank metric have received many attentions in recent years, since they have wide applications in the multishot network coding, the space-time coding and the distributed storage. Fundamental bounds, some explicit or…

In this paper, we construct self-dual codes from a construction that involves 2x2 block circulant matrices, group rings and a reverse circulant matrix. We provide conditions whereby this construction can yield self-dual codes. We construct…

Let $p$ be a prime and $s,m,n$ be positive integers. This paper studies quasi-recursive MDS matrices over Galois rings $GR(p^{s}, p^{sm})$ and proposes various direct construction methods for such matrices. The construction is based on skew…

We present a new family of maximum rank distance (MRD) codes. The new class contains codes that are neither equivalent to a generalised Gabidulin nor to a twisted Gabidulin code, the only two known general constructions of linear MRD codes.

We provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamental structural properties of weighted projective Reed-Muller codes. We give a recursive construction for these codes, under some conditions for the weights, and we use it to derive bounds…
