Linear codes over finite fields and finite projective geometries

Linear covering codes over nonbinary finite fields

For a prime power q and for integers R, η with R > 0, 0 ≤ η ≤ R − 1, let A R,q = (Cni)i denote an infinite sequence of q-ary linear [ni, ni − ri]qR codes Cni with covering radius R and such that the following two properties hold: (a) the codimension ri = Rti + η, where (ti)i is an increasing sequence of integers; (b) the length ni of Ci coincides with f (η) q (ri), where f (η) q is an increasin...

Minimal Linear Codes over Finite Fields

As a special class of linear codes, minimal linear codes have important applications in secret sharing and secure two-party computation. Constructing minimal linear codes with new and desirable parameters has been an interesting research topic in coding theory and cryptography. Ashikhmin and Barg showed that wmin/wmax > (q− 1)/q is a sufficient condition for a linear code over the finite field ...

Constacyclic codes over finite fields

An equivalence relation called isometry is introduced to classify constacyclic codes over a finite field; the polynomial generators of constacyclic codes of length lp are characterized, where p is the characteristic of the finite field and l is a prime different from p.

Linear Codes over Finite Rings

Linear codes over finite rings with identity have recently raised a great interest for their new role in algebraic coding theory and for their successful application in combined coding and modulation. Thus, in this paper we address the problems of constructing of new cyclic, BCH, alternant, Goppa and Srivastava codes over local finite commutative rings with identity. These constructions are ver...
