In this paper we develop an algebraic theory to study the problem of finding the minimum distance point from an algebraic variety with respect to the Hermitian distance function. The theory generalizes the Euclidean Distance degree…
The square $C^{*2}$ of a linear error correcting code $C$ is the linear code spanned by the component-wise products of every pair of (non-necessarily distinct) words in $C$. Squares of codes have gained attention for several applications…
Codes in finite projective spaces equipped with the subspace distance have been proposed for error control in random linear network coding. Here we collect the present knowledge on lower and upper bounds for binary subspace codes for…
Hopping cyclic codes (HCCs) are (non-linear) cyclic codes with the additional property that the $n$ cyclic shifts of every given codeword are all distinct, where $n$ is the code length. Constant weight binary hopping cyclic codes are also…
In this paper we develop a technique to extend any bound for cyclic codes constructed from its defining sets (ds-bounds) to abelian (or multivariate) codes. We use this technique to improve the searching of new bounds for abelian codes.
Binary self-dual cyclic codes have been studied since the classical work of Sloane and Thompson published in IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, vol. 29, 1983. Twenty five years later, an infinite family of binary self-dual cyclic codes with lengths…
A lower bound on the number of uncorrectable errors of weight half the minimum distance is derived for binary linear codes satisfying some condition. The condition is satisfied by some primitive BCH codes, extended primitive BCH codes,…
The distance distribution of a code is the vector whose $i^\text{th}$ entry is the number of pairs of codewords with distance $i$. We investigate the structure of the distance distribution for cyclic orbit codes, which are subspace codes…
In this paper, we study the minimum distances of binary linear codes with parity check matrices formed from subset inclusion matrices $W_{t,n,k}$, representing $t$-element subsets versus $k$-element subsets of an $n$-element set. We provide…
In this paper we initiate the study of cyclic algebraic geometry codes. We give conditions to construct cyclic algebraic geometry codes in the context of algebraic function fields over a finite field by using their group of automorphisms.…
A code is a subset of the vertex set of a Hamming graph. The set of $s$-neighbours of a code is the set of all vertices at Hamming distance $s$ from their nearest codeword. A code $C$ is $s$-elusive if there exists a distinct code $C'$ that…
We study shortest paths and their distances on a subset of a Euclidean space, and their approximation by their equivalents in a neighborhood graph defined on a sample from that subset. In particular, we recover and extend the results of…
Two upper bounds on the minimum distance of type-1 quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC LDPC) codes are derived. The necessary condition is given for the minimum code distance of such codes to grow linearly with the code length.
In this paper, we introduce a new parameter of a code, referred to as the remoteness, which can be viewed as a dual to the covering radius. Indeed, the remoteness is the minimum radius needed for a single ball to cover all codewords. After…
The interrelation between the cyclic structure of an ideal, i.e., a cyclic code over Galois field $GF(q)$, $q>2$, and its classes of proportional elements is considered. This relation is used in order to define the code's weight structure.…
We introduce the first example of algebraically constructed hierarchical quasi-cyclic codes. These codes are built from Reed-Solomon codes using a 1964 construction of superimposed codes by Kautz and Singleton. We show both the number of…
This note presents some new information on how the minimum distance of the generalized toric code corresponding to a fixed set of integer lattice points S in R^2 varies with the base field. The main results show that in some cases, over…
