Binary cyclic codes having large dimensions and minimum distances close to the square-root bound are highly valuable in applications where high-rate transmission and robust error correction are both essential. They provide an optimal…

We study distributed protocols for finding all pairs of similar vectors in a large dataset. Our results pertain to a variety of discrete metrics, and we give concrete instantiations for Hamming distance. In particular, we give improved…

This article aims to explore the bridge between the algebraic structure of a linear code and the complete decoding process. To this end, we associate a specific binomial ideal $I_+(\mathcal C)$ to an arbitrary linear code. The binomials…

An (n,d)-permutation code is a subset C of Sym(n) such that the Hamming distance d_H between any two distinct elements of C is at least equal to d. In this paper, we use the characterisation of the isometry group of the metric space…

The generalized Hamming weights (GHWs) of a linear code C extend the concept of minimum distance, which is the minimum cardinality of the support of all one-dimensional subspaces of C, to the minimum cardinality of the support of all…

This work investigates the structure of rank-metric codes in connection with concepts from finite geometry, most notably the $q$-analogues of projective systems and blocking sets. We also illustrate how to associate a classical…

In an underdetermined system of equations $Ax=y$, where $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix, only $u$ of the entries of $y$ with $u < m$ are known. Thus $E_jw$, called `measurements', are known for certain $j\in J \subset \{0,1,\ldots,m-1\}$ where…

Upper bounds on the maximum number of codewords in a binary code of a given length and minimum Hamming distance are considered. New bounds are derived by a combination of linear programming and counting arguments. Some of these bounds…

A constant weight binary code consists of $n$-bit binary codewords, each with exactly $w$ bits equal to 1, such that any two codewords are at least Hamming distance $d$ apart. $A(n,d,w)$ is the maximum size of a constant weight binary code…

We consider list-decoding in the zero-rate regime for two cases: the binary alphabet and the spherical codes in Euclidean space. Specifically, we study the maximal $\tau \in [0,1]$ for which there exists an arrangement of $M$ balls of…

We study codes with parameters of the ternary Hamming $(n=(3^m-1)/2,3^{n-m},3)$ code, i.e., ternary $1$-perfect codes. The rank of the code is defined to be the dimension of its affine span. We characterize ternary $1$-perfect codes of rank…

For a code $C$ in a space with maximal distance $n$, we say that $C$ has symmetric distances if its distance set $S(C)$ is symmetric with respect to $n / 2$. In this paper, we prove that if $C$ is a binary code with length $2n$, constant…

Circulant matrices are an important tool widely used in coding theory and cryptography. A circulant matrix is a square matrix whose rows are the cyclic shifts of the first row. Such a matrix can be efficiently stored in memory because it is…

For which positive integers $n,k,r$ does there exist a linear $[n,k]$ code $C$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with all codeword weights divisible by $q^r$ and such that the columns of a generating matrix of $C$ are projectively distinct? The…

This paper is the continuation of the research of the author and his colleagues of the {\it canonical} decomposition of graphs. The idea of the canonical decomposition is to define the binary operation on the set of graphs and to represent…

Combinatorial designs are closely related to linear codes. In recent year, there are a lot of $t$-designs constructed from certain linear codes. In this paper, we aim to construct $2$-designs from binary three-weight codes. For any binary…

We consider a code to be a subset of the vertex set of a Hamming graph. We examine elusive pairs, code-group pairs where the code is not determined by knowledge of its set of neighbours. We construct a new infinite family of elusive pairs,…
