Computing Extensions of Linear Codes (0704.2596v1)
Published 19 Apr 2007 in cs.IT, cs.DM, and math.IT
Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of increasing the minimum distance of a linear code by adding one or more columns to the generator matrix. Several methods to compute extensions of linear codes are presented. Many codes improving the previously known lower bounds on the minimum distance have been found.
