Abstract
Maximum rank-distance (MRD) codes are (not necessarily linear) maximum codes in the rank-distance metric space on -by- matrices over a finite field . They are diameter perfect and have the cardinality if . We define switching in MRD codes as the replacement of special MRD subcodes by other subcodes with the same parameters. We consider constructions of MRD codes admitting switching, such as punctured twisted Gabidulin codes and direct-product codes. Using switching, we construct a huge class of MRD codes whose cardinality grows doubly exponentially in if the other parameters (, the code distance) are fixed. Moreover, we construct MRD codes with different affine ranks and aperiodic MRD codes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Combinatorial Designs is an international journal devoted to the timely publication of the most influential papers in the area of combinatorial design theory. All topics in design theory, and in which design theory has important applications, are covered, including:
block designs, t-designs, pairwise balanced designs and group divisible designs
Latin squares, quasigroups, and related algebras
computational methods in design theory
construction methods
applications in computer science, experimental design theory, and coding theory
graph decompositions, factorizations, and design-theoretic techniques in graph theory and extremal combinatorics
finite geometry and its relation with design theory.
algebraic aspects of design theory.
Researchers and scientists can depend on the Journal of Combinatorial Designs for the most recent developments in this rapidly growing field, and to provide a forum for both theoretical research and applications. All papers appearing in the Journal of Combinatorial Designs are carefully peer refereed.
