Maximum distance profile (MDP) convolutional codes have the property that their column distances are as large as possible. It has been shown that, transmitting over an erasure channel, these codes have optimal recovery rate for windows of a…
A matrix $M$ over the finite field $ \mathbb{F}_q $ is called \emph{maximum distance separable} (MDS) if all of its square submatrices are non-singular. These MDS matrices are very important in cryptography and coding theory because they…
In this paper we study properties and invariants of matrix codes endowed with the rank metric, and relate them to the covering radius. We introduce new tools for the analysis of rank-metric codes, such as puncturing and shortening…
We show that the maximum rank of block lower triangular Toeplitz block matrices equals their term rank if the blocks fulfill a structural condition, i.e., only the locations but not the values of their nonzeros are fixed.
Linear constraints for a matrix polytope with no fractional vertex are investigated as intersecting research among permutation codes, rank modulations, and linear programming methods. By focusing the discussion to the block structure of…

This paper investigates the construction of rank-metric codes with specified Ferrers diagram shapes. These codes play a role in the multilevel construction for subspace codes. A conjecture from 2009 provides an upper bound for the dimension…
We consider the problem of designing optimal linear codes (in terms of having the largest minimum distance) subject to a support constraint on the generator matrix. We show that the largest minimum distance can be achieved by a subcode of a…
We propose a general method for optimally approximating an arbitrary matrix $\mathbf{M}$ by a structured matrix $\mathbf{T}$ (circulant, Toeplitz/Hankel, etc.) and examine its use for estimating the spectra of genomic linkage disequilibrium…
The maximal subgroup of unipotent upper-triangular matrices of the finite general linear groups are a fundamental family of $p$-groups. Their representation theory is well-known to be wild, but there is a standard supercharacter theory,…

The radius of regularity sometimes spelled as the radius of nonsingularity is a measure providing the distance of a given matrix to the nearest singular one. Despite its possible application strength this measure is still far from being…
