It was proved by J. Schatz that the covering radius of the second order Reed--Muller code $RM(2, 6)$ is 18 (IEEE Trans Inf Theory 27: 529--530, 1985). However, the covering radius of $RM(2,7)$ has been an open problem for many years. In…

We give improved lower bounds for binary $3$-query locally correctable codes (3-LCCs) $C \colon \{0,1\}^k \rightarrow \{0,1\}^n$. Specifically, we prove: (1) If $C$ is a linear design 3-LCC, then $n \geq 2^{(1 - o(1))\sqrt{k} }$. A design…

The $\Z_{p^s}$-additive codes of length $n$ are subgroups of $\Z_{p^s}^n$, and can be seen as a generalization of linear codes over $\Z_2$, $\Z_4$, or $\Z_{2^s}$ in general. A $\Z_{p^s}$-linear generalized Hadamard (GH) code is a GH code…
