The weights in MDS codes

The weights in maximum distance separable (MDS) codes of length n and dimension k over the finite field GF(q) are studied. Up to some explicit exceptional cases, the MDS codes with parameters given by the MDS conjecture are shown to contain all k weights in the range n - k + 1 to n. The proof uses t...

The weights in MDS codes
description The weights in maximum distance separable (MDS) codes of length n and dimension k over the finite field GF(q) are studied. Up to some explicit exceptional cases, the MDS codes with parameters given by the MDS conjecture are shown to contain all k weights in the range n - k + 1 to n. The proof uses the covering radius of the dual code.
