Linear code

Projective system of a linear code

Let C β‰€π•‚π‘›π‘ž be a linear code, and 𝑐𝑖 :C β†’π•‚π‘ž denote the 𝑖th coΓΆrdinate function, and let [𝑐𝑖] denote the corresponding point in the projectivization P⁑(Cβˆ—) β‰…PG⁑(π‘˜ βˆ’1,π‘ž). The multiset 𝔓(C) =M([𝑐𝑖])𝑛𝑖=1 βŠ†P⁑(Cβˆ—) is then called the projective system of C. code Iff all elements of 𝔓(C) occur exactly once, then C is a projective code.1

Properties

  • The sum of 𝔓(C) is Cβˆ—.
