We develop an algebraic theory of supports for R-linear codes of fixed length, where R is a finite commutative unitary ring. A support naturally induces a notion of generalized weights and allows one to associate a monomial ideal to a code. Our main result states that, under suitable assumptions, the generalized weights of a code can be obtained from the graded Betti numbers of its associated monomial ideal. In the case of Fq-linear codes endowed with the Hamming metric, the ideal coincides…

Free Resolutions and Generalized Hamming Weights of binary linear codes

It is proved that the first and second generalized Hamming weights of a binary linear code can be computed from a set of monomials associated with a binomial ideal related with the code.

Generalized weights of convolutional codes

This paper proposes a new definition of generalized weights of convolutional codes, that takes into account the underlying module structure of the code, and derives the basic properties of the authors' generalized weights.

A general class of regular weight functions on finite abelian groups are introduced, and the theory of MacWilliams identities are applied to enumerative combinatorics problems, obtaining closed formulae for the number of rectangular matrices over a finite having prescribed rank and satisfying some linear conditions.

A very general MacWilliams-type identity for linear codes that generalizes most previous extensions of the MacWilliams identity is proved and is applied to codeword m-tuples.

Minimal Vectors in Linear Codes

It is shown that for even codes the set of zero neighbors is strictly optimal in this class of algorithms, which implies that general asymptotic improvements of the zero-neighbors algorithm in the frame of gradient-like approach are impossible.

Generalized Hamming Weights for Linear Codes

This work studies d3(C) and higher Hamming weights for BCH(2m, 5) codes by a close examination of the words of weight 5 and proves that the second generalized Hamming weight d2(C).

Hamming weights and Betti numbers of Stanley–Reisner rings associated to matroids

This work shows how the weights of a matroid M are determined by the Stanley–Reisner ring of the simplicial complex whose faces are the independent sets of $$M$$, and derives some consequences.

Theory of Error-correcting Codes

This course expounds the principles of coded modulations for the Gaussian channel and, if time permits, for Rician and Rayleigh fading channels (fully interleaved), and reminds students of the basics of the theory of linear codes for conventional memoryless ergodic channels.

It is shown that the problem of computing the minimum distance of a binary linear code is NP-hard, and the corresponding decision problem is NP-complete. This result constitutes a proof of the…
