We present a construction of 1-perfect binary codes, which gives a new lower bound on the number of such codes. We conjecture that this lower bound is asymptotically tight.
Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, monomials and trinomials over…
Let p(n, k) denote the number of partitions of n into parts less than or equal to k. We show several properties of this function modulo 2. First, we prove that for fixed positive integers k and m, p(n,k) is periodic modulo m. Using this, we…
Let $q=2^n$, $0\leq k\leq n-1$ and $k\neq n/2$. In this paper we determine the value distribution of following exponential sums \[\sum\limits_{x\in \bF_q}(-1)^{\Tra_1^n(\alpha x^{2^{3k}+1}+\beta x^{2^k+1})}\quad(\alpha,\beta\in \bF_{q})\]…
In this paper we evaluate several determinants involving quadratic residues modulo primes. For example, for any prime $p>3$ with $p\equiv3\pmod4$ and $a,b\in\mathbb Z$ with $p\nmid ab$, we prove that $$\det\left[ 1+\tan\pi\frac{aj^2+bk^2}p…

We determine the roots in F_{q^3} of the polynomial X^{2q^k+1} + X + c for each positive integer k and each c in F_q, where q is a power of 2. We introduce a new approach for this type of question, and we obtain results which are more…
Code loops are Moufang loops constructed from doubly even binary codes. Then, given a code loop L, we ask which doubly even binary code V produces L. In this sense, V is called a representation of L. In this article we define and determine…
Let $k \geq 3$ and let $L_i(n) = A_in + B_i$ be some linear forms such that $A_i$ and $B_i$ are integers. Define ${\mathcal{P}(n) = \prod_{i=1}^k L_i(n)}$. For each $k$ it is known that $\Omega (\mathcal{P} (n) ) \leq \rho_k$ infinitely…
In this paper, we pose lots of challenging conjectures on congruences for the sums involving binomial coefficients and Ap\'ery-like numbers modulo $p^3$, where $p$ is an odd prime.
Let $m$ and $n>0$ be integers. Suppose that $p$ is a prime dividing $m-4$ but not dividing $m$. We show that $\nu_p(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{\binom{2k}k}{m^k})$ and $\nu_p(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{n-1}{k}(-1)^k\frac{\binom{2k}k}{m^k})$ are at…
In this work, quadratic reside codes over the ring F2 +uF2 +u^2F2 with u^3 = u are considered. A duality and distance preserving Gray map from F2 + uF2 + u^2F2 to (F_2)^3 is defined. By using quadratic double circulant, quadratic bordered…
For any odd prime p we obtain q-analogues of Van Hamme's supercongruence: $$ \sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}{2}}{2k\choose k}^3\frac{1}{64^k} \equiv 0 \pmod{p^2} \quad\text{for}\quad p\equiv 3\pmod 4, $$ and Rodriguez-Villegas' Beukers-like…
We present a method to obtain congruences modulo powers of 2 for sequences given by recurrences of finite depth with polynomial coefficients. We apply this method to Catalan numbers, Fu\ss-Catalan numbers, and to subgroup counting functions…
We show that if p is an odd prime then $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}E_kE_{p-1-k}=1 (mod p)$$ and $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-3}E_kE_{p-3-k}=(-1)^{(p-1)/2}2E_{p-3} (mod p),$$ where E_0,E_1,E_2,... are Euler numbers. Moreover, we prove that for any positive integer…

Let $t(n)$ denote the number of $1$-bits in the base-$2$ representation of $n$, taken modulo $2$. We show how to prove the classic conjecture of Leo Moser, on the rarefied sum $\sum_{0\leq i<n} (-1)^{t(3i)}$, using tools from automata…
For relatively prime positive integers $u_0$ and $r$ and for $0\le k\le n$, define $u_k:=u_0+kr$. Let $L_n:={\rm lcm}(u_0, u_1, ..., u_n)$ and let $a, l\ge 2$ be any integers. In this paper, we show that, for integers $\alpha \geq a$ and…
