Abstract

In this paper we show the usability of the Gray code with constant weight words for computing linear combinations of codewords. This can lead to a big improvement of the computation time for finding the minimum distance of a code. We have also considered the usefulness of combinatorial 22-(t,k,1)(t,k,1) designs when there are memory limitations to the number of objects (linear codes in particular) that can be tested for equivalence.
