Abstract

We introduce a new technique, called homogenization, for a systematic construction of augmented codes of binary linear codes, using the defining set approach in connection to multi-variable functions. We explicitly determine the parameters and the weight distribution of the homogenized codes when the defining set is either a simplicial complex generated by any finite number of elements, or the difference of two simplicial complexes, each of which is generated by a single maximal element. Using this homogenization technique, we produce several infinite families of optimal codes, self-orthogonal codes, minimal codes, and self-complementary codes. As applications, we obtain some best known quantum error-correcting codes, infinite families of intersecting codes (used in the construction of covering arrays), and we compute the Trellis complexity (required for decoding) for several families of codes as well.

期刊介绍： Finite Fields and Their Applications is a peer-reviewed technical journal publishing papers in finite field theory as well as in applications of finite fields. As a result of applications in a wide variety of areas, finite fields are increasingly important in several areas of mathematics, including linear and abstract algebra, number theory and algebraic geometry, as well as in computer science, statistics, information theory, and engineering. For cohesion, and because so many applications rely on various theoretical properties of finite fields, it is essential that there be a core of high-quality papers on theoretical aspects. In addition, since much of the vitality of the area comes from computational problems, the journal publishes papers on computational aspects of finite fields as well as on algorithms and complexity of finite field-related methods. The journal also publishes papers in various applications including, but not limited to, algebraic coding theory, cryptology, combinatorial design theory, pseudorandom number generation, and linear recurring sequences. There are other areas of application to be included, but the important point is that finite fields play a nontrivial role in the theory, application, or algorithm.
