In this paper, for n >= 6, we present the generic construction of binary linear codes of length 2(n) - 1 with dimension n + 3, and derive the necessary and sufficient condition for the constructed codes to be minimal. Using this generic construction, a new family of minimal binary linear codes violating the Ashikhmin-Barg condition will be constructed from a special class of Boolean functions. We also obtain the weight distribution of the constructed minimal binary linear codes. We will achieve minimal codes with the highest dimension, resulting in a better rate of transmission.

A non-zero F-linear map from a finite-dimensional commutative F-algebra to the field Fis called an F-valued trace if its kernel does not contain any non-zero ideals. In this article, we utilize an F2-valued trace of the F2-algebra R2:= F2[x]/x3- x to study binary subfield code C(2) Dof CD:={(x center dot d) d.D: x. Rm2} for each defining set Dderived from a certain simplicial complex. For m. Nand X.{1, 2,..., m}, define X:={v. Fm2: Supp(v). X} and D :=(1 + u2) D1+ u2D2+(u + u2)D3, a subset of Rm2, where u = x + x3- x, D1.{L, cL}, D2.{ M, cM} and D3.{N, cN}, for L, M, N.{1, 2,..., m}. The parameters and the Hamming weight distribution of the binary subfield code C(2)Dof CDare determined for each D. These binary subfield codes are minimal under certain mild conditions on the cardinalities of L, Mand N. Moreover, most of these codes are distanceoptimal. Consequently, we obtain a few infinite families of minimal, self-orthogonal and distance-optimal binary linear codes that are either 2-weight or 4-weight. It is worth mentioning that we have obtained several new distance-optimal binary linear codes. (c) 2024 Elsevier B.V.

minimal linear codes are in one-to-one correspondence with special types of blocking sets of projective spaces over a finite field, which are called strong or cutting blocking sets. minimal linear codes have been studied since decades but their tight connection with cutting blocking sets of finite projective spaces was unfolded only in the past few years, and it has not been fully exploited yet. In this paper we apply finite geometric and probabilistic arguments to contribute to the field of minimal codes. We prove an upper bound on the minimal length of minimal codes of dimension k over the q-element Galois field which is linear in both q and k, hence improve the previous superlinear bounds. This result determines the minimal length up to a small constant factor. We also improve the lower and upper bounds on the size of so called higgledy-piggledy line sets in projective spaces and apply these results to present improved bounds on the size of covering codes and saturating sets in projective spaces as well.

We develop three approaches of combinatorial flavor to study the structure of minimal codes and cutting blocking sets in finite geometry, each of which has a particular application. The first approach uses techniques from algebraic combinatorics, describing the supports in a linear code via the Alon-Ftiredi theorem and the combinatorial Nullstellensatz. The second approach combines methods from coding theory and statistics to compare the mean and variance of the nonzero weights in a minimal code. Finally, the third approach regards minimal codes as cutting blocking sets and studies these using the theory of spreads in finite geometry. By applying and combining these approaches with each other, we derive several new bounds and constraints on the parameters of minimal codes. Moreover, we obtain two new constructions of cutting blocking sets of small cardinality in finite projective spaces. In turn, these allow us to give explicit constructions of minimal codes having short length for the given field and dimension.

Boolean functions with high algebraic immunity are important cryptographic primitives in some stream ciphers. In this paper, two methodologies for constructing minimal binary codes from sets, Boolean functions and vectorial Boolean functions with high algebraic immunity, are proposed. More precisely, a general construction of new minimal codes using minimal codes contained in Reed-Muller codes and sets without nonzero low degree annihilators is presented. The other construction allows us to yield minimal codes from certain subcodes of Reed-Muller codes and vectorial Boolean functions with high algebraic immunity. Via these general constructions, infinite families of minimal binary linear codes of dimension m and length less than or equal to m(m + 1)/2 are obtained. Besides, a lower bound on the minimum distance of the proposed minimal linear codes is established. Conjectures and open problems are also presented. The results of this paper show that Boolean functions with high algebraic immunity have nice applications in several fields additionally to symmetric cryptography, such as coding theory and secret sharing schemes.

minimal linear codes have significant applications in secret sharing schemes and secure two-party computation. When they are defined over finite fields, those codes have been intensively studied, especially in recent years, but they have been firstly partially characterized by Ashikhmin and Barg since 1998. Next, they were completely characterized in 2018 by Ding, Heng, and Zhou in terms of the minimum and maximum nonzero weights in the corresponding codes. Since then, many construction methods for minimal linear codes over finite fields throughout algebraic and geometric approaches have been proposed in the literature. In particular, the algebraic approach gives rise to minimal codes from (cryptographic) functions. Linear codes over finite fields have been expanded into the collection of acceptable alphabets for codes and study codes over finite commutative rings. A natural way to extend the known results available in the literature is to consider minimal linear codes over commutative rings with unity. In extending coding theory to codes over rings, several essential principles must be considered. Particularly extending the minimality property from finite fields to rings and creating such codes is not simple. Such an extension offers more flexibility in the construction of minimal codes. The present article investigates one-dimensional minimal linear codes over the rings Z(pn) (where p is a prime) and Z(pmqn) (where p < q are distinct primes and m <= n). Our ultimate objective is to characterize such codes' minimality and design minimal linear codes over the considered rings. Given our objective, we first introduced the notion of minimal codes over (commutative) rings and succeeded in deriving simple characterization of one-dimensional minimal linear codes over the underlying rings mentioned above. Our new algebraic approach allows designing new minimal linear codes. Almost minimal codes over rings are also presented. To the best of our knowledge, the present paper
