Linear codes with a few weights from inhomogeneous quadratic functions
Linear codes with few weights have been an interesting subject of study for
many years, as these codes have applications in secrete sharing, authentication
codes, association schemes, and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, linear
codes with a few weights are constructed from inhomogeneous quadratic functions
over the finite field \gf(p), where is an odd prime. They include some
earlier linear codes as special cases. The weight distributions of these linear
codes are also determined
