Jul 19, 2022 at 21:00 comment added unknown @RobPratt I'm interested to see how integer linear programming can be applied here. I think the problem can re-stated as finding linear combinations of the rows of $H$ with the least maximum weight...you'd have to add that the rows are independent which will complicate things...I can ask a post a separate question is this is different from OP's
Jul 19, 2022 at 18:49 comment added Kevin @itsabijection Yes, I deleted my comment after realizing it's not obvious how that helps you. Perhaps the hardness proof for finding a min weight codeword can be adapted to your situation.
Jul 19, 2022 at 17:54 comment added RobPratt Sounds like a job for integer linear programming. Do you have example data?
Jul 19, 2022 at 17:40 comment added itsabijection Thank you for your comment @Kevin. To see if I understand - if we could solve my problem then we would know if there at at least $r$ (number of rows of $H$ independent vectors in the dual codespace of weight at most $k$. To find the minimum weight codeword we could try all $k$ from $0$ to the number of columns of $H$. If we ever get a YES answer (that $H'$ exists) then we would know the minimum distance of the dual code is at most $k$. However, if we get a NO answer, doesn't this just say that there are at most $r - 1$ codewords of weight $k$? Does this let us find the minimum weight codeword?
