We interpret the symmetrized weight enumerator of linear codes over finite commutative Frobenius rings as a summation over multisets and thereby provide a new proof of the MacWilliams identity for the symmetrized weight enumerator. The…
The weight distribution of an error correcting code is a crucial statistic in determining it's performance. One key tool for relating the weight of a code to that of it's dual is the MacWilliams Identity, first developed for the Hamming…
The sum-rank metric generalizes the Hamming and rank metric by partitioning vectors into blocks and defining the total weight as the sum of the rank weights of these blocks, based on their matrix representation. In this work, we explore…
This paper examines the $w$-weight enumerators of weights $w$ with maximal symmetry over finite chain rings and matrix rings over finite fields. In many cases, including the homogeneous weight, the MacWilliams identities for $w$-weight…

We study the generalized and extended weight enumerator of the q-ary Simplex code and the q-ary first order Reed-Muller code. For our calculations we use that these codes correspond to a projective system containing all the points in a…
In this work we explore a family of metrics over finite fields which respect the support of vectors. We show how these metrics can be obtained from the edge-weighted Hamming cube and, based on this representation we give a description of a…

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…
We derive a recursive formula determing the weight distribution of the [n=(q^m-1)/(q-1), n-m, 3] Hamming code H(m,q), when (m, q-1)=1. Here q is a prime power. The proof is based on Moisio's idea of using Pless power moment identity…
In this paper, we develop a geometric framework for matrix rank-metric codes based on generator tensors and their slice spaces. To every nondegenerate matrix rank-metric code, we associate two systems, which translate metric properties of…
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…

Determining the weight distribution of a code is an old and fundamental topic in coding theory that has been thoroughly studied. In 1977, Helleseth, Kl{\o}ve, and Mykkeltveit presented a weight enumerator polynomial of the lifted code over…
Given a differential or $q$-difference equation $P$ of order $n$, we prove that the set of exponents of a generalized power series solution has its rational rank bounded by the rational rank of the support of $P$ plus $n$. We also prove…

To each linear code over a finite field we associate the matroid of its parity check matrix. We show to what extent one can determine the generalized Hamming weights of the code (or defined for a matroid in general) from various sets of…
