An MDS Code Generated from a Three-Term Exponential Sum
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, I investigate the method for constructing Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes using exponential sums. By utilizing the properties of the trace function over finite fields, I explicitly calculate linear codes associated with certain three-term exponential sums. The parameters, weight distributions, and distance properties of these codes are analyzed in detail. Furthermore, we analyse the syndrome-decoding process for these codes.
