Let $\ell>0$ be a square-free integer congruent to 3 mod 4 and $\O_K$ the ring of integers of the imaginary quadratic field $K=Q(\sqrt{-\ell})$. Codes $C$ over rings $\O_K / p \O_K$ determine lattices $\Lambda_\ell (C) $ over $K$. If $ p…
We consider the weight spectrum of a class of quasi-perfect binary linear codes with code distance 4. For example, extended Hamming code and Panchenko code are the known members of this class. Also, it is known that in many cases Panchenko…
We study the functional codes $C_2(X)$ defined on projective varieties $X$, in the case where $X\subset \mathbb{P}^3$ is a 1-degenerate quadric or a non-degenerate quadric (hyperbolic or elliptic). We find the minimum distance of these…

Let $q$ be a prime power. This paper provides a new class of linear codes that arises from the action of the alternating group on $\mathbb F_q[x_1,\dots,x_m]$ combined with the ideas in (M. Datta and T. Johnsen, 2022). Compared with…
A $q$-ary $t$-$(n,w,\lambda)$ design is a collection $\mathcal{A}$ of vectors of weight $w$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$ with the property that every vector of weight $t$ in $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$ is contained in exactly $\lambda$ members of…
Let $q$ be an odd prime power and let $X(m,q)$ be the set of symmetric bilinear forms on an $m$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$. The partition of $X(m,q)$ induced by the action of the general linear group gives rise to a…

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…
The main theorem in this paper is a far-reaching generalization of Gleason's theorem on the weight enumerators of codes which applies to arbitrary-genus weight enumerators of self-dual codes defined over a large class of finite rings and…
Recently, linear codes with few weights have been widely studied, since they have applications in data storage systems, communication systems and consumer electronics. In this paper, we present a class of three-weight and five-weight linear…
Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have wide applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems due to their efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. Cyclic codes with many zeros and their…
The determination of weight distribution of cyclic codes involves evaluation of Gauss sums and exponential sums. Despite of some cases where a neat expression is available, the computation is generally rather complicated. In this note, we…
The linear codes with a few weights have been applied widely in combinatorial designs, secret sharing, association schemes, authentication codes and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, we first correct an erroneous result about the…
In the present paper, we give harmonic weight enumerators and Jacobi polynomials for the first-order Reed--Muller codes and the extended Hamming codes. As a corollary, we show the nonexistence of combinatorial $4$-designs in these codes.
