In this paper, we use character-theoretic techniques to give new nonexistence results for $(n,m,k,\lambda)$-strong external difference families (SEDFs). We also use cyclotomic classes to give two new classes of SEDFs with $m=2$.
Some new Gold type codes of higher relative dimension are introduced. Their weight distribution is determined.
We single out a class of difference families which is widely used in some constructions of Hadamard matrices and which we call Goethals--Seidel (GS) difference families. They consist of four subsets (base blocks) of a finite abelian group…
This paper gives a construction of group divisible designs on the binary extension fields with block sizes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively, which is motivated from the decoding of binary quadratic residue codes. A conjecture is proposed for…
Linear codes are widely studied due to their applications in communication, cryptography, quantum codes, distributed storage and many other fields. In this paper, we use the trace and norm functions over finite fields to construct a family…
Motivated by the application in geometric orthogonal codes (GOCs), Wang et al. introduced the concept of generalized perfect difference families (PDFs), and established the equivalence between GOCs and a certain type of generalized PDFs…
We give direct constructions for 233 group divisible designs with block size five, mostly of type $g^u m^1$, $m > 0$.
In this paper, we introduce code distances, a new family of invariants for linear codes. We establish some properties and prove bounds on the code distances, and show that they are not invariants of the matroid (for a linear block code) or…
For large classes of group testing problems, we derive lower bounds for the probability that all significant items are uniquely identified using specially constructed random designs. These bounds allow us to optimize parameters of the…
Some new Kasami type codes of higher relative dimension is introduced. Their weight distribution is determined.
Self-orthogonal codes are a subclass of linear codes that are contained within their dual codes. Since self-orthogonal codes are widely used in quantum codes, lattice theory and linear complementary dual (LCD) codes, they have received…
Families of "asymptotically regular" LDPC block code ensembles can be formed by terminating (J,K)-regular protograph-based LDPC convolutional codes. By varying the termination length, we obtain a large selection of LDPC block code ensembles…
A new class of distributional transformations is introduced, characterized by equations relating function weighted expectations of test functions on a given distribution to expectations of the transformed distribution on the test function's…
Well-graded families, extremal systems and maximum systems (the last two in the sense of VC-theory and Sauer-Shelah lemma on VC-dimension) are three important classes of set systems. This paper aims to study the notion of duality in the…
MDS self-dual codes have nice algebraic structures and are uniquely determined by lengths. Recently, the construction of MDS self-dual codes of new lengths has become an important and hot issue in coding theory. In this paper, we develop…
Classical strong external difference families (SEDFs) are much-studied combinatorial structures motivated by information security applications; it is conjectured that only one classical abelian SEDF exists with more than two sets. Recently,…
Perfect codes are arguably the most fascinating structures in combinatorial coding theory, and their classification and weight distribution are of considerable interest. This classification also involves the analysis of some related…
In this paper we discuss the existence problem for a semi-cyclic holey group divisible design of type (n,m^t) with block size 3, which is denoted by a 3-SCHGDD of type (n,m^t). When n=3, a 3-SCHGDD of type (3,m^t) is equivalent to a…
Maximum-distance separable (MDS) convolutional codes form an optimal family of convolutional codes, the study of which is of great importance. There are very few general algebraic constructions of MDS convolutional codes. In this paper, we…
Combinatorial $t$-designs have wide applications in coding theory, cryptography, communications and statistics. It is well known that the supports of all codewords with a fixed weight in a code may give a $t$-design. In this paper, we first…
