Abstract

Recently, b-symbol metric linear codes, which are extensions of linear codes with Hamming weight and symbol-pair weight, have attracted much attention due to their repair efficiency in b-symbol read channels. Extensive efforts have been dedicated to studying the classic Hamming weight and symbol-pair weight of linear codes, but there has been relatively less progress regarding the general b-symbol weight for b3. In this paper, we mainly consider the b-symbol weight of linear codes for large b. Firstly, we establish a direct correspondence between the b-symbol weight distribution of a linear code and the Hamming weight distribution of another linear code. Using this relation, we derive a Griesmer-type bound on the minimum b-symbol weight, which partially settles a conjecture of Shi, Zhu and Helleseth. Furthermore, we discover that the minimum b-symbol distance of a [n,k] cyclic code is equal to the minimum b-symbol distance of certain linear code of parameters [n,kb] and prove that every [n,k] cyclic code is always b-symbol MDS for bmin(nk,k+1d2), where d is the minimum distance of its dual. When bk+1d2 we also determine its b-symbol weight distribution. Finally, we investigate the minimum b-symbol weight of several specific cyclic codes, including QR codes, irreducible cyclic codes, Kasami codes and the duals of double-error-correcting BCH codes.
大b线性码的b符号权值
近年来,基于汉明权值和符号对权值的线性码的扩展——b符号度量线性码由于其在b符号读信道中的修复效率而备受关注。对于线性码的经典汉明权值和符号对权值进行了大量的研究,但对于b≥3的一般b符号权值的研究进展相对较少。本文主要考虑大b线性码的b符号权。首先,我们建立了一个线性码的b符号权分布与另一个线性码的汉明权分布之间的直接对应关系。利用这一关系,我们导出了最小b符号权值的griesmer型界,从而部分地解决了Shi、Zhu和Helleseth的一个猜想。此外,我们发现a [n,k]循环码的最小b符号距离等于参数[n,k−b]的某些线性码的最小b符号距离,并证明对于b≥min (n - k,k+1−≤≤d⊥²),每个[n,k]循环码总是b符号MDS,其中d⊥是其对偶的最小距离。当b≥k+1−≤d⊥²时,我们也确定了它的b符号权重分布。最后,研究了QR码、不可约循环码、Kasami码和双纠错BCH码对偶的最小b符号权值。

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.
