submitted 4/22/2014

(note: Title change from Building-up constructions for self-dual codes)

 

Abstract: Self-dual codes have been actively studied because of their connections with other mathematical areas including $t$-designs, invariant theory, group theory, lattices, and modular forms. We presented the building-up construction for self-dual codes over

$GF(q)$ with $q \equiv 1 \pmod 4$, and over other certain rings ({KimLee},{KimLee2}). Since then, the existence of the building-up construction for the open case over $GF(q)$ with $q=p^r \equiv 3 \pmod 4$ with an odd prime $p$ satisfying $p \equiv 3 \pmod 4$ with $r$ odd has not been solved. In this paper, we answer it positively by presenting the building-up construction explicitly. As examples, we present new optimal self-dual $[16,8,7]$ codes over $GF(7)$ and new self-dual codes over $GF(7)$ with the best known parameters $[24,12,9]$.

submitted 10/24/2013

 

Abstract: We introduce the class of multiply constant weight codes to improve the reliability of certain physically unclonable function (PUF) response. We extend classical coding methods to construct multiply constant weight codes from known $q$-ary and constant weight codes. Analogues of Johnson bounds are derived and are shown to be asymptotically tight to a constant factor under certain conditions. We also examine the rates of the multiply constant weight codes and interestingly, demonstrate that these rates are the same as those of constant weight codes of suitable parameters. Asymptotic analysis of our code constructions is provided.

 

48. Powers, Pythagorean triples, and Fermat’s Last Theorem in carryless arithmetic mod 10,
Joon Yop Lee and Jon-Lark Kim,
submitted 4/18/2013

Abstract: We study carryless arithmetic mod 10 introduced by Applegate, LeBrun, and Sloane. We know that this arithmetic corresponds to the algebra in $\mathbb Z_{10}[x]$. In particular, we give an explicit formula for the number of $k$-digit carryless $m$th powers in $\mathbb Z_{10}[x]$ ($m \ge 2$), which was known only for $m=2$. We give a complete characterization of the Pythagorean triples $(f(x), g(x), h(x))$ in $\mathbb Z_{10}[x]$. We also prove the falsity of the Fermat Last Theorem, that is, there are infinitely many solutions to $f(x)^m + g(x)^m = h(x)^m$ for any $m\ge 3$. Furthermore, we give a complete solution to $f(x)^{2^n}+g(x)^{2^n}=h(x)^{2^n}$ for any $n\ge 2$.

47. Higher-order CIS codes,

submitted 12/3/2012, revised submission 3/23/2014

Abstract: We introduce  {\bf complementary information set codes} of higher-order. A binary linear code of length $tk$ and dimension $k$ is called a complementary information set code of order $t$ ($t$-CIS code for short) if it has $t$ pairwise disjoint information sets. The duals of such codes permit to reduce the cost of masking cryptographic algorithms against side-channel attacks.As in the case of codes for error correction, given the length and the dimension of a $t$-CIS code, we look for the highest possible minimum distance. In this paper, this new class of codes is investigated. The existence of good long CIS codes of order $3$ is derived by a counting argument. General constructions based on cyclic and quasi-cyclic codes and on the building up construction are given.  A formula similar to a mass formula is given. A classification of 3-CIS codes of length $\le 12$ is given. Nonlinear codes better than linear codes are derived by taking binary images of $\Z_4$-codes. A general algorithm based on Edmonds' basis packing algorithm from matroid theory is developed with the following property: given a binary linear code of rate $1/t$ it either provides $t$ disjoint information sets or proves that the code is not $t$-CIS. Using this algorithm, all optimal or best known $[tk, k]$ codes where $t=3, 4, \dots, 256$ and $1 \le k \le \lfloor 256/t \rfloor$ are shown to be $t$-CIS for all such $k$ and $t$, except for $t=3$ with  $k=44$ and $t=4$ with $k=37$.
