The binary Hamming codes with parameters $[2^m-1, 2^m-1-m, 3]$ are perfect. Their extended codes have parameters $[2^m, 2^m-1-m, 4]$ and are distance-optimal. The first objective of this paper is to construct a class of binary linear codes…
We consider the question of determining the higher weights or the generalized Hamming weights of affine Grassmann codes and their duals. Several initial as well as terminal higher weights of affine Grassmann codes of an arbitrary level are…
The $b$-symbol metric is a generalization of the Hamming metric. Linear codes, in the $b$-symbol metric, have been used in the read channel whose outputs consist of $b$ consecutive symbols. The Griesmer bound outperforms the Singleton bound…

Linear codes with a few weights have been widely investigated in recent years. In this paper, we mainly use Gauss sums to represent the Hamming weights of a class of $q$-ary linear codes under some certain conditions, where $q$ is a power…

In this paper, based on the theory of defining sets, two classes of five-weight or six-weight linear codes over Fp are constructed. The weight distributions of the linear codes are determined by means of Weil sums and a new type of…
In this paper, we give upper bounds on the sizes of $(d, L)$ list-decodable codes in the Hamming metric space from covering codes with the covering radius smaller than or equal to $d$. When the list size $L$ is $1$, this gives many new…
We present a new bound for the minimum distance of a general primary linear code. For affine variety codes defined from generalised C_{ab} curves the new bound often improves dramatically on the Feng-Rao bound for primary codes. The method…

From cosets of binary Hamming codes we construct diameter perfect constant-weight ternary codes with weight $n-1$ (where $n$ is the code length) and distances 3 and 5. The class of distance 5 codes has parameters unknown before. Keywords:…
An additive quaternary $[n,k,d]$-code (length $n,$ quaternary dimension $k,$ minimum distance $d$) is a $2k$-dimensional F_2-vector space of $n$-tuples with entries in $Z_2\times Z_2$ (the $2$-dimensional vector space over F_2) with minimum…
Based on cyclic and consta-cyclic simplex codes, a new explicit construction of a family of two-weight codes is presented. These two-weight codes obtained are in the form of 2-generator quasi-cyclic, or quasi-twisted structure. Based on…
We consider locally recoverable codes (LRCs) and aim to determine the smallest possible length $n=n_q(k,d,r)$ of a linear $[n,k,d]_q$-code with locality $r$. For $k\le 7$ we exactly determine all values of $n_2(k,d,2)$ and for $k\le 6$ we…
In this paper, based on the theory of defining sets, a class of four-weight or five-weight linear codes over Fp is constructed. The complete weight enumerators of the linear codes are determined by means of Weil sums. In some case, there is…
Studying the generalized Hamming weights of linear codes is a significant research area within coding theory, as it provides valuable structural information about the codes and plays a crucial role in determining their performance in…
Security of linear ramp secret sharing schemes can be characterized by the relative generalized Hamming weights of the involved codes. In this paper we elaborate on the implication of these parameters and we devise a method to estimate…
Recently, some infinite families of binary minimal and optimal linear codes are constructed from simplicial complexes by Hyun {\em et al}. Inspired by their work, we present two new constructions of codes over the ring $\Bbb F_2+u\Bbb F_2$…
