The small weight codewords of the functional codes associated to non-singular hermitian varieties
This article studies the small weight codewords of the functional code C (Herm) (X), with X a non-singular Hermitian variety of PG(N, q (2)). The main result of this article is that the small weight codewords correspond to the intersections of X with the singular Hermitian varieties of PG(N, q (2)) consisting of q + 1 hyperplanes through a common (N - 2)-dimensional space I , forming a Baer subline in the quotient space of I . The number of codewords having these small weights is also calculated. In this way, similar results are obtained to the functional codes C (2)(Q), Q a non-singular quadric (Edoukou et al., J. Pure Appl. Algebra 214:1729-1739, 2010), and C (2)(X), X a non-singular Hermitian variety (Hallez and Storme, Finite Fields Appl. 16:27-35, 2010)
On the small weight codewords of the functional codes C_2(Q), Q a non-singular quadric
We study the small weight codewords of the functional code C_2(Q), with Q a
non-singular quadric of PG(N,q). We prove that the small weight codewords
correspond to the intersections of Q with the singular quadrics of PG(N,q)
consisting of two hyperplanes. We also calculate the number of codewords having
these small weights
Sums of residues on algebraic surfaces and application to coding theory
In this paper, we study residues of differential 2-forms on a smooth
algebraic surface over an arbitrary field and give several statements about
sums of residues. Afterwards, using these results we construct
algebraic-geometric codes which are an extension to surfaces of the well-known
differential codes on curves. We also study some properties of these codes and
extend to them some known properties for codes on curves.Comment: 31 page
Construction of Rational Surfaces Yielding Good Codes
In the present article, we consider Algebraic Geometry codes on some rational
surfaces. The estimate of the minimum distance is translated into a point
counting problem on plane curves. This problem is solved by applying the upper
bound "\`a la Weil" of Aubry and Perret together with the bound of Homma and
Kim for plane curves. The parameters of several codes from rational surfaces
are computed. Among them, the codes defined by the evaluation of forms of
degree 3 on an elliptic quadric are studied. As far as we know, such codes have
never been treated before. Two other rational surfaces are studied and very
good codes are found on them. In particular, a [57,12,34] code over
and a [91,18,53] code over are discovered, these
codes beat the best known codes up to now.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figure
A study of intersections of quadrics having applications on the small weight codewords of the functional codes C2(Q), Q a non-singular quadric
AbstractWe study the small weight codewords of the functional code C2(Q), with Q a non-singular quadric in PG(N,q). We prove that the small weight codewords correspond to the intersections of Q with the singular quadrics of PG(N,q) consisting of two hyperplanes. We also calculate the number of codewords having these small weights
