In this paper we generalize constructions in two recent works of Ding, Heng, Zhou to any field $\mathbb{F}_q$, $q$ odd, providing infinite families of minimal codes for which the Ashikhmin-Barg bound does not hold.
The study on minimal linear codes has received great attention due to their significant applications in secret sharing schemes and secure two-party computation. Until now, numerous minimal linear codes have been discovered. However, to the…
The hull of a linear code is defined as the intersection of the code and its dual. This concept was initially introduced to classify finite projective planes. The hull plays a crucial role in determining the complexity of algorithms used to…
We introduce a notion of "Galois closure" for extensions of rings. We show that the notion agrees with the usual notion of Galois closure in the case of an S_n degree n extension of fields. Moreover, we prove a number of properties of this…

Let $\mathcal{R}_e=GR(p^e,r)[y]/\langle g(y),p^{e-1}y^t\rangle$ be a finite commutative chain ring, where $p$ is a prime number, $GR(p^e,r)$ is the Galois ring of characteristic $p^e$ and rank $r,$ $t$ and $k$ are positive integers…

For a matrix $W \in \mathbb{Z}^{m \times n}$, $m \leq n$, and a convex function $g: \mathbb{R}^m \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, we are interested in minimizing $f(x) = g(Wx)$ over the set $\{0,1\}^n$. We will study separable convex functions and…
For many common height functions, it is notoriously hard to compute the essential minimum. Nevertheless there are two classical methods, one giving lower bounds and the other giving upper bounds. In this paper, we show that the two methods…
In this paper, we study the complementary dual codes in more general setting (which are called Galois LCD codes) by a uniform method. A necessary and sufficient condition for linear codes to be Galois LCD codes is determined, and…
In this paper, we study cyclic codes over the Galois ring ${\rm GR}({p^2},s)$. The main result is the characterization and enumeration of Hermitian self-dual cyclic codes of length $p^a$ over ${\rm GR}({p^2},s)$. Combining with some known…
In this paper, new few weights linear codes over the local ring $R=\mathbb{F}_p+u\mathbb{F}_p+v\mathbb{F}_p+uv\mathbb{F}_p,$ with $u^2=v^2=0, uv=vu,$ are constructed by using the trace function defined over an extension ring of degree $m.$…
