On the Maximality of Additive Codes

Tim Alderson

An additive $(n, k, d)_{q^{m} / q}$ -code is a $GF (q)$ -linear subspace of $GF (q^{m})^{n}$ of $GF (q)$ -dimension $k m$ with minimum Hamming distance $d$ . We first exte…

Length-Maximal Codes with Given Singleton Defect: Structure and Bounds

Tim Alderson

Let $C$ be an $(n, q^{k}, d)_{q}$ code of integer dimension $k \geq 2$ and Singleton defect $s = n - k + 1 - d$ . Repeated shortening followed by the Plotkin bound gives \[ n\le (s+1)(q+1)+…

Sets of subspaces with restricted hyperplane intersection numbers

Tim Alderson, Simeon Ball

Let $X$ be a set of $(h - 1)$ -dimensional subspaces of $PG (k h - 1, q)$ with the property that every hyperplane contains at most $t$ elements of $X$ . We prov…

When Arcs Extend Uniquely: A Higher-Dimensional Generalization of Barlotti's Result

Tim L. Alderson

In this short communication, we generalize a classical result of Barlotti concerning the unique extendability of arcs in the projective plane to higher-dimensional projective space…

Projective systems and bounds on the length of codes of non-zero defect

Tim L. Alderson, Zhipeng Zhang

We derive bounds on the lengths of linear codes with fixed Singleton defect $s$ , working within the framework of projective systems as advocated by Tsfasman and Vlǎduţ. This geomet…
