The constraint complexity of a graphical realization of a linear code is the maximum dimension of the local constraint codes in the realization. The treewidth of a linear code is the least constraint complexity of any of its cycle-free…
A code of length $n$ is said to be (combinatorially) $(\rho,L)$-list decodable if the Hamming ball of radius $\rho n$ around any vector in the ambient space does not contain more than $L$ codewords. We study a recently introduced class of…

For a given linear code $\C$ of length $n$ over $\gf(q)$ and a nonzero vector $\bu$ in $\gf(q)^n$, Sun, Ding and Chen defined an extended linear code $\overline{\C}(\bu)$ of $\C$, which is a generalisation of the classical extended code…

We study the classical expander codes, introduced by Sipser and Spielman \cite{SS96}. Given any constants $0< \alpha, \varepsilon < 1/2$, and an arbitrary bipartite graph with $N$ vertices on the left, $M < N$ vertices on the right, and…
We introduce two constructions of additive codes over finite fields. Both constructions start with a linear code over a field with $q$ elements and give additive codes over the field with $q^h$ elements whose minimum distance is…
The construction of quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) with good parameters is a hot topic in the area of quantum information and quantum computing. Quantum maximum distance separable (QMDS) codes are optimal because the minimum…
We consider quantum MDS (QMDS) codes for quantum systems of dimension $q$ with lengths up to $q^2+2$ and minimum distances up to $q+1$. We show how starting from QMDS codes of length $q^2+1$ based on cyclic and constacyclic codes, new QMDS…
