Both MDS and Euclidean self-dual codes have theoretical and practical importance and the study of MDS self-dual codes has attracted lots of attention in recent years. In particular, determining existence of $q$-ary MDS self-dual codes for…

Error-correcting codes resilient to synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions are known as insdel codes. Due to their important applications in DNA storage and computational biology, insdel codes have recently become a focal…

Let $\mathscr{Q}(m,q)$ and $\mathscr{S}(m,q)$ be the sets of quadratic forms and symmetric bilinear forms on an $m$-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{F}_q$, respectively. The orbits of $\mathscr{Q}(m,q)$ and $\mathscr{S}(m,q)$ under a…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be the Hermitian curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$. In this paper we complete the geometrical characterization of the supports of the minimum-weight codewords of the algebraic-geometry codes over…

We support some evidence that a long additive MDS code over a finite field must be equivalent to a linear code. More precisely, let $C$ be an $\mathbb F_q$-linear $(n,q^{hk},n-k+1)_{q^h}$ MDS code over $\mathbb F_{q^h}$. If $k=3$, $h \in…

Duadic codes are a class of cyclic codes that generalizes quadratic residue codes from prime to composite lengths. For every prime power q, we characterize the integers n such that over the finite field with q^2 elements there is a duadic…

We study the maximum length of $q$-ary codes as a function of alphabet size, code size, and Singleton defect. For an $(n, M, d)_q$ code with dimension $\kappa = \log_q M \ge 2$ and Singleton defect $s = n - \lceil\kappa\rceil + 1 - d$, we…

We consider additive codes over GF(4) that are self-dual with respect to the Hermitian trace inner product. Such codes have a well-known interpretation as quantum codes and correspond to isotropic systems. It has also been shown that these…

We study the Hermitian hull-variation problem for vector rank-metric codes. Except for one parameter pair, we show that the Hermitian hull dimension of such a code can be reduced to any smaller value within its equivalence class, and in…

Let $\mathcal W$ be a non-empty set of points of a finite Desarguesian projective space $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$. A collection of varieties of $\mathrm{PG}(n,q)$ is \emph{mutually $\mu$-intersecting (relatively to $\mathcal W$)} if its elements…

Hermitian hulls of linear codes are interesting for theoretical and practical reasons alike. In terms of recent application, linear codes whose hulls meet certain conditions have been utilized as ingredients to construct…

A sum-rank-metric code attaining the Singleton bound is called maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD). MSRD codes have been constructed for some parameter cases. In this paper we construct a linear MSRD code over an arbitrary field ${\bf F}_q$…

It has been a great challenge to construct new quantum MDS codes. In particular, it is very hard to construct quantum MDS codes with relatively large minimum distance. So far, except for some sparse lengths, all known $q$-ary quantum MDS…

In this paper, we study a family of constacyclic BCH codes over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ of length $n=\frac{q^{2m}-1}{q+1}$, where $q$ is a prime power, and $m\geq2$ an even integer. The maximum design distance of narrow-sense Hermitian…

The projective space of order $n$ over a finite field $\F_q$ is a set of all subspaces of the vector space $\F_q^{n}$. In this work, we consider error-correcting codes in the projective space, focusing mainly on constant dimension codes. We…

In this article, we study polymatroids that are representable by means of linear restricted rank-metric codes, namely, by subspaces of the space of alternating, symmetric, or Hermitian square matrices endowed with the rank metric. More…

In this paper, we present a new method for explicitly constructing regular low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes based on $\mathbb{S}_{n}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$, the space of $n\times n$ symmetric matrices over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Using this…

In this paper we consider the diversity-multiplexing gain tradeoff (DMT) of so-called minimum delay asymmetric space-time codes. Such codes are less than full dimensional lattices in their natural ambient space. Apart from the multiple…

By using the notion of $d$-embedding $\Gamma$ of a (canonical) subgeometry $\Sigma$ and of exterior set with respect to the $h$-secant variety $\Omega_{h}(\mathcal{A})$ of a subset $\mathcal{A}$, $ 0 \leq h \leq n-1$, in the finite…

Constructions of distance-optimal codes and quasi-perfect codes are challenging problems and have attracted many attentions. In this paper, we give the following three results. 1) If $\lambda|q^{sm}-1$ and $\lambda…
