We use a simple construction called `recursive subproducts' (that is known to yield good codes of lengths $n^m$, $n \geq 3$) to identify a family of codes sandwiched between first-order and second-order Reed-Muller (RM) codes. These codes…
We introduce a formula for determining the number of codewords of weight 2 in cyclic codes and provide results related to the count of codewords with weight 3. Additionally, we establish a recursive relationship for binary cyclic codes that…
We introduce a novel algorithm for decoding binary linear codes by linear programming. We build on the LP decoding algorithm of Feldman et al. and introduce a post-processing step that solves a second linear program that reweights the…
This paper is concerned with the affine-invariant ternary codes which are defined by Hermitian functions. We compute the incidence matrices of 2-designs that are supported by the minimum weight codewords of these ternary codes. The linear…
The evaluation of the minimum distance of linear block codes remains an open problem in coding theory, and it is not easy to determine its true value by classical methods, for this reason the problem has been solved in the literature with…
We construct a class of linear codes by choosing a proper defining set and determine their complete weight enumerators and weight enumerators. The results show that they are at most three-weight codes and they are suitable for applications…

A linear code of length $n$ over a finite chain ring $R$ with residue field $\F_q$ is a $R$-submodule of $R^n$. A $R$-linear code is a code over $\F_q$ (not necessarily linear) which is the generalized Gray map image of a linear code over…
Generalized pair weights of linear codes are generalizations of minimum symbol-pair weights, which were introduced by Liu and Pan \cite{LP} recently. Generalized pair weights can be used to characterize the ability of protecting information…
We consider the class of linear antipodal two-weight rank metric codes and discuss their properties and characterization in terms of $t$-spreads. It is shown that the dimension of such codes is $2$ and the minimum rank distance is at least…
The generalized Hamming weights (GHWs) are fundamental parameters of linear codes. GHWs are of great interest in many applications since they convey detailed information of linear codes. In this paper, we continue the work of [10] to study…
We complete the building-up construction for self-dual codes by resolving the open cases over $GF(q)$ with $q \equiv 3 \pmod 4$, and over $\Z_{p^m}$ and Galois rings $\GR(p^m,r)$ with an odd prime $p$ satisfying $p \equiv 3 \pmod 4$ with…
In 1997 Rosenthal and York defined generalized Hamming weights for convolutional codes, by regarding a convolutional code as an infinite dimensional linear code endowed with the Hamming metric. In this paper, we propose a new definition of…

This work investigates the structure of rank-metric codes in connection with concepts from finite geometry, most notably the $q$-analogues of projective systems and blocking sets. We also illustrate how to associate a classical…
In this work, we define a modification of a bordered construction for self-dual codes which utilises $\lambda$-circulant matrices. We provide the necessary conditions for the construction to produce self-dual codes over finite commutative…
