We study the rank weight hierarchy of linear codes which are stable under a linear endomorphism defined over the base field, in particular when the endomorphism is cyclic. In this last case, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for…

Let $\Bbb F_r$ be an extension of a finite field $\Bbb F_q$ with $r=q^m$. Let each $g_i$ be of order $n_i$ in $\Bbb F_r^*$ and $\gcd(n_i, n_j)=1$ for $1\leq i \neq j \leq u$. We define a cyclic code over $\Bbb F_q$ by $$\mathcal C_{(q, m,…

By exploiting the connection between scattered $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^3$ and minimal non degenerate $3$-dimensional rank metric codes of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^{n}$, $n \geq m+2$, described in [2], we will exhibit a new…

Upper and lower bounds on the largest number of weights in a cyclic code of given length, dimension and alphabet are given. An application to irreducible cyclic codes is considered. Sharper upper bounds are given for the special cyclic…

This is a chapter of the upcoming "A Concise Encyclopedia of Coding Theory", W.C. Huffman, J.-L. Kim, and P. Sole' Eds., CRC Press. The chapter gives an introduction to the mathematical theory of rank-metric codes. Treated topics include:…

In this work we develop a geometric approach to the study of rank metric codes. Using this method, we introduce a simpler definition for generalized rank weight of linear codes. We give a complete classification of constant rank weight code…

Cyclic codes are an interesting type of linear codes and have wide applications in communication and storage systems due to their efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. Cyclic codes have been studied for many years, but their weight…

The study of the generalized Hamming weight of linear codes is a significant research topic in coding theory as it conveys the structural information of the codes and determines their performance in various applications. However,…

Define the weight of a matrix to be the number of non-zero entries. One would like to count $m$ by $n$ matrices over a finite field by their weight and rank. This is equivalent to determining the probability distribution of the weight while…

This paper investigates general properties of codes with the rank metric. We first investigate asymptotic packing properties of rank metric codes. Then, we study sphere covering properties of rank metric codes, derive bounds on their…

We provide a geometric characterization of $k$-dimensional $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$-linear sum-rank metric codes as tuples of $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^k$. We then use this characterization to study one-weight codes in the…

We present the theory of linear rank-metric codes from the point of view of their fundamental parameters. These are: the minimum rank distance, the rank distribution, the maximum rank, the covering radius, and the field size. The focus of…

Let $m$, $k$ be positive integers such that $\frac{m}{\gcd(m,k)}\geq 3$, $p$ be an odd prime and $\pi $ be a primitive element of $\mathbb{F}_{p^m}$. Let $h_1(x)$ and $h_2(x)$ be the minimal polynomials of $-\pi^{-1}$ and…

In this paper, we propose and study $r$-minimal codes, a natural extension of minimal codes which have been extensively studied with respect to Hamming metric, rank metric and sum-rank metric. We first propose $r$-minimal codes in a general…

The generalized Hamming weights (GHWs) of linear codes are fundamental parameters, the knowledge of which is of great interest in many applications. However, to determine the GHWs of linear codes is difficult in general. In this paper, we…

We introduce the class of rank-metric geometric lattices and initiate the study of their structural properties. Rank-metric lattices can be seen as the $q$-analogues of higher-weight Dowling lattices, defined by Dowling himself in 1971. We…

We consider cyclic codes $\mathcal{C}_\mathcal{L}$ associated to quadratic trace forms in $m$ variables $Q_R(x) = \operatorname{Tr}_{q^m/q}(xR(x))$ determined by a family $\mathcal{L}$ of $q$-linearized polynomials $R$ over…

In this paper, the cyclic codes of length $n$, where $n$ is odd with certain restrictions, over a finite chain ring $R$, have been studied using the structure of group algebra approach. The primitive idempotents of $RG$ of a finite cyclic…

Let $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathbb{F}_{q^m}^n$ be an $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$-linear non-degenerate rank metric code with dimension $k$. In this paper we investigate the problem of determining the number $M(\mathcal{C})$ of codewords in…

We study the rank of the random $n\times m$ 0/1 matrix ${\bf A}_{n,m;k}$ where each column is chosen independently from the set $\Omega_{n,k}$ of 0/1 vectors with exactly $k$ 1's. Here 0/1 are the elements of the field $GF_2$. We obtain an…
