The main result here is a characterisation of binary $2$-neighbour-transitive codes with minimum distance at least $5$ via their minimal subcodes, which are found to be generated by certain designs. The motivation for studying this class of…

We introduce a variant of de Bruijn words that we call perfect necklaces. Fix a finite alphabet. Recall that a word is a finite sequence of symbols in the alphabet and a circular word, or necklace, is the equivalence class of a word under…

Non-binary linear block codes (NB-LBCs) are an important class of error-correcting codes that are especially competent in correcting burst errors. They have broad applications in modern communications and storage systems. However, efficient…

The standard algebraic decoding algorithm of cyclic codes $[n,k,d]$ up to the BCH bound $t$ is very efficient and practical for relatively small $n$ while it becomes unpractical for large $n$ as its computational complexity is $O(nt)$. Aim…

A \textbf{single change covering design} is a $v$-set $X$ and an ordered list $\cL$ of $b$ blocks of size $k$ where every $t$-set must occur in at least one block. Each pair of consecutive blocks differs by exactly one element. A single…

Binary self-dual cyclic codes have been studied since the classical work of Sloane and Thompson published in IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, vol. 29, 1983. Twenty five years later, an infinite family of binary self-dual cyclic codes with lengths…

Constrained coding is used widely in digital communication and storage systems. In this paper, we study a generalized sliding window constraint called the skip-sliding window. A skip-sliding window (SSW) code is defined in terms of the…

This paper examines linear binary codes capable of correcting one or more errors. For the single-error-correcting case, it is shown that the Hamming bound is achieved by a constructive method, and an exact expression for the minimal…

For a directed graph $G$, a $t$-identifying code is a subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ with the property that for each vertex $v\in V(G)$ the set of vertices of $S$ reachable from $v$ by a directed path of length at most $t$ is both non-empty and…

A theorem due to Seyffarth states that every planar $4$-connected $n$-vertex graph has a cycle double cover (CDC) containing at most $n-1$ cycles (a "small" CDC). We extend this theorem by proving that, in fact, such a graph must contain…

Let $R=\mathbb{Z}_q+u\mathbb{Z}_q$, where $q=p^s$ and $u^2=0$. In this paper, some structural properties of cyclic codes over the ring $R$ are considered. A necessary and sufficient condition for cyclic codes over the ring $R$ to be free is…

The length function $\ell_q(r,R)$ is the smallest length of a $ q $-ary linear code with codimension (redundancy) $r$ and covering radius $R$. In this work, new upper bounds on $\ell_q(tR+1,R)$ are obtained in the following forms:…

Let $k\leq n$ be two positive integers and $q$ a prime power. The basic question in minimal linear codes is to determine if there exists an $[n,k]_q$ minimal linear code. The first objective of this paper is to present a new sufficient and…

The focus of this work is to show how to combine Zech's logarithms and each of the cycle joining and cross-join pairing methods to construct binary de Bruijn sequences of any order. A basic implementation is supplied as a proof-of-concept.…

A balanced generalized de Bruijn sequence with parameters $(n,l,k)$ is a cyclic sequence of $n$ bits such that (a) the number of 0's equals the number of 1's, and (b) each substring of length $l$ occurs at most $k$ times. We determine…

The structure of multivariate semisimple codes over a finite chain ring $R$ is established using the structure of the residue field $\bar R$. Multivariate codes extend in a natural way the univariate cyclic and negacyclic codes and include…

In computational genomics, many analyses rely on efficient storage and traversal of $k$-mers, motivating compact representations such as spectrum-preserving string sets (SPSS), which store strings whose $k$-mer spectrum matches that of the…

Let $A(n,d)$ (respectively $A(n,d,w)$) be the maximum possible number of codewords in a binary code (respectively binary constant-weight $w$ code) of length $n$ and minimum Hamming distance at least $d$. By adding new linear constraints to…

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. Inspired by the recent work on binary cyclic codes published in…

A classic result of Erd\H{o}s, Gy\'arf\'as and Pyber states that for every coloring of the edges of $K_n$ with $r$ colors, there is a cover of its vertex set by at most $f(r) = O(r^2 \log r)$ vertex-disjoint monochromatic cycles. In…
