Differential duality: Triangular codes vs. VT codes / Single-substitution vs. Single-deletion

Here is the introduction to my problem: Codes correcting single-deletion. Let $q$ and $n$ be non-negative integers, and let $\mathbf{x}= \left ( x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots, x_{n} \right )\in\mathbb{Z}_{q}^{...

Does the Plotkin bound mean that one can not achieve the Singleton bound asymptotically?

I am a little confused with the relationship between various bounds for error correcting codes. Does the Plotkin bound mean that one can not achieve the Singleton bound asymptotically? That is, is ...

Inner product over finite field

sorry for informals but is my first post. In Coding theory (exactly in Coding theory a first course - San ling and Chaoping) found this definition: $\langle , \rangle :\mathbb{F}_q^n\times\mathbb{F}_q^...

System of equations - Proof that a solution exists

Let $ a = (a_1,a_2, \ldots,a_{10})\in \{ 0,1\}^{10}$ be a binary vector of length $10$. Question: Without using a computer-aided method, how to prove that there exists binary vectors $x_{i,j} \in \{ ...

How to count the number of tensors over a finite field of tensor rank $r$?

For simplicity, work over $\mathbb F_2$ and only consider order-$3$ equilateral tensors. For $r\in\mathbb Z_{>0}$, how many tensors $\mathfrak{T}\in\mathsf{Ten}_{n}^{\otimes 3}(\mathbb F_2)$ are ...

Low-Hamming weight vectors in low-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_p^n$

What is the maximum number vectors of Hamming weight at most $w$ in a $d$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{F}_p^n$, where $w,d,p$ are constant and $p$ is odd. (The Hamming weight is the number of ...

When are Hamming codes cyclic?

I've asked this question on math.stackexchange before, but it has not been solved. The following statement appears to be true: The $q$-ary Hamming code of codimension $r$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is ...

Counting special metrics on finite fields

Define a Galois coding norm of degree n as a map $|\space| : \Bbb F_{2^n}\rightarrow {\Bbb Z}$ with the following properties : (I) $(\Bbb F_{2^n},|\space|)$ is a self-orthogonal code ; i.e. $(x,y)\...

Polynomial existence over finite field

Denote $\mathcal{F_n}$ as collection of multiaffine polynomials $f\in\Bbb F_2[x_1,\dots,x_n]$. Denote total degree of $f\in\mathcal{F_n}$ as $deg(f)$ (note $deg(f)\leq n$). Denote $e_i=(0,\dots,0,\...
