Minimal Codewords in Linear Codes
2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 94B05, 94B15.Cyclic binary codes C of block length n = 2^m − 1 and generator polynomial g(x) = m1(x)m2^s+1(x), (s, m) = 1, are considered. The cardinalities of the sets of minimal codewords of weights 10 and 11 in codes C and of weight 12 in their extended codes ^C are determined. The weight distributions of minimal codewords in the binary Reed-Muller codes RM (3, 6) and RM (3, 7) are determined. The applied method enables codes with larger parameters to...
Modular invariance property of association schemes, type II codes over finite rings and finite abelian groups and reminiscences of François Jaeger (a survey)
Modular invariance property of association schemes is recalled in connection with our joint work with François Jaeger. Then we survey codes over discussing how codes, through their (various kinds of) weight enumerators, are related to (various kinds of) modular forms through polynomial invariants of certain finite group actions and theta series. Recently, not only codes over an arbitrary finite field but also codes over finite rings and finite abelian groups are considered and have been studied...
