MDS linear codes with one dimensional hull (2012.11247v1)

Abstract: We define the Euclidean hull of a linear code $C$ as the intersection of $C$ and its Euclidean dual $C^\perp$. The hull with low dimensions gets much interest due to its crucial role in determining the complexity of algorithms for computing the automorphism group of a linear code and checking permutation equivalence of two linear codes. It has been recently proved that any $q$-ary $[n,k]$ linear code with $q>3$ gives rise to a linear code with the same parameters and having zero dimensional Euclidean hull, which is known as a linear complementary dual code. This paper aims to explore explicit constructions of families of MDS linear codes with one dimensional Euclidean hull. We obtain several classes of such codes.
