Abstract
The study of the generalized Hamming weight of linear codes is a significant research topic in coding theory as it conveys the structural information of the codes and determines their performance in various applications. However, determining the generalized Hamming weights of linear codes, especially the weight hierarchy, is generally challenging. In this paper, we investigate the generalized Hamming weights of a class of linear code over , which is constructed from defining sets. These defining sets are either special simplicial complexes or their complements in . We determine the complete weight hierarchies of these codes by analyzing the maximum or minimum intersection of certain simplicial complexes and all r-dimensional subspaces of , where .
期刊介绍:
Discrete Mathematics provides a common forum for significant research in many areas of discrete mathematics and combinatorics. Among the fields covered by Discrete Mathematics are graph and hypergraph theory, enumeration, coding theory, block designs, the combinatorics of partially ordered sets, extremal set theory, matroid theory, algebraic combinatorics, discrete geometry, matrices, and discrete probability theory.
Items in the journal include research articles (Contributions or Notes, depending on length) and survey/expository articles (Perspectives). Efforts are made to process the submission of Notes (short articles) quickly. The Perspectives section features expository articles accessible to a broad audience that cast new light or present unifying points of view on well-known or insufficiently-known topics.
