In this paper, we study the p-ary linear code Ck(n, q), q = ph, p prime, h >= 1, generated by the incidence matrix of points and k-dimensional spaces in PG(n, q). For k >= n/2, we link codewords of Ck(n, q)\Ck(n, q) of weight smaller than…
The $p$-ary linear code $\mathcal C_{k}(n,q)$ is defined as the row space of the incidence matrix $A$ of $k$-spaces and points of $\text{PG}(n,q)$. It is known that if $q$ is square, a codeword of weight $q^k\sqrt{q}+\mathcal O \left(…
Over the past few years, the codes $\mathcal{C}_{n-1}(n,q)$ arising from the incidence of points and hyperplanes in the projective space $\text{PG}(n,q)$ attracted a lot of attention. In particular, small weight codewords of…
We investigate small weight code words of the $p$-ary linear code $\mathcal C_{j,k}(n,q)$ generated by the incidence matrix of $k$-spaces and $j$-spaces of PG$(n,q)$ and its dual, with $q$ a prime power and $0 \leq j < k < n$. Firstly, we…
In [9], the codewords of small weight in the dual code of the code of points and lines of Q(4, q) are characterised. Inspired by this result, using geometrical arguments, we characterise the codewords of small weight in the dual code of the…
In this paper, we study the p-ary linear code C(PG(n, q)), q = p^h, p prime, h >= 1, generated by the incidence matrix of points and hyperplanes of a Desarguesian projective space PG(n, q), and its dual code. We link the codewords of small…
In this paper, we study the codes $\mathcal C_k(n,q)$ arising from the incidence of points and $k$-spaces in $\text{PG}(n,q)$ over the field $\mathbb F_p$, with $q = p^h$, $p$ prime. We classify all codewords of minimum weight of the dual…
Let $C_{n-1}(n,q)$ be the code arising from the incidence of points and hyperplanes in the Desarguesian projective space PG($n,q$). Recently, Polverino and Zullo proved that within this code, all non-zero code words of weight at most…
In this paper we completely characterize the words with second minimum weight in the $p-$ary linear code generated by the rows of the incidence matrix of points and hyperplanes of $PG(n,q)$, with $q=p^h$ and $p$ prime, proving that they are…
In this paper, we prove a stability result on k mod p multisets of points in PG(2,q), q = p^h. The particular case k=0 is used to describe small weight codewords of the code generated by the lines of PG(2, q), as linear combination of few…
We characterise the minimum weight codewords of the $p$-ary linear code of intersecting lines in ${\rm PG}(3,q)$, $q=p^h$, $q\geq19$, $p$ prime, $h\geq 1$. If $q$ is even, the minimum weight equals $q^3+q^2+q+1$. If $q$ is odd, the minimum…
We study the small weight codewords of the functional code C_2(Q), with Q a non-singular quadric of PG(N,q). We prove that the small weight codewords correspond to the intersections of Q with the singular quadrics of PG(N,q) consisting of…
Consider a $q$-ary block code satisfying the property that no $l$-letters long codeword's prefix occurs as a suffix of any codeword for $l$ inside some interval. We determine a general upper bound on the maximum size of these codes and a…
A linear $ [n,k]_q $ code $ C $ is said to be a full weight spectrum (FWS) code if there exist codewords of each nonzero weight less than or equal to $ n $. In this brief communication we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for…
In this paper, we prove that the smallest even sets in ${\rm PG}(n,q)$, i.e. sets that intersect every line in an even number of points, are cylinders with a hyperoval as base. This fits into a more general study of dual projective…
Bounds on linear codes play a central role in coding theory, as they capture the fundamental trade-off between error-correction capability (minimum distance) and information rate (dimension relative to length). Classical results…
Non-overlapping codes are a set of codewords such that the prefix of each codeword is not a suffix of any codeword in the set, including itself. If the lengths of the codewords are variable, it is additionally required that every codeword…
The weight spectra of MDS codes of length $ n $ and dimension $ k $ over the arbitrary alphabets are studied. For all $ q $-ary MDS codes of dimension $ k $ containing the zero codeword, it is shown that all $ k $ weights from $ n $ to $…
In this paper, we show that a set of q+a hyperplanes, q>13, a<(q-10)/4, that does not cover PG(n,q), does not cover at least q^(n-1)-aq^(n-2) points, and show that this lower bound is sharp. If the number of non- covered points is at most…
We prove the non existence of quantum caps of sizes 37 and 39. This completes the spectrum of quantum caps in PG(4, 4). This also implies the non existence of linear [[37,27,4]] and [[39,29,4]]-codes. The problem of the existence of non…
