Parameters of Goppa codes revisited (2007)
Françoise Levy-dit-Vehel, Simon Litsyn
We discuss parameters of Goppa codes, such as minimum distance, covering radius, distance distribution, and generalized Hamming weights. By a variation on the exponential sums method and...
On the covering radius of long Goppa codes (2007)
Françoise Levy-Dit-Vehel, Simon Litsyn
Introduction The covering radius is an important parameter of error-correcting codes [2]. It coincides with the maximal multiplicity of errors that can be corrected provided the maximum likelihood...
