Abstract: | An (n,k)q-MDS code C over an alphabet (of size q) is a collection of qk n–tuples over such that no two words of C agree in as many as k coordinate positions. It follows that n ≤ q+k−1. By elementary combinatorial means we show that every (6,3)4-MDS code, linear or not, turns out to be a linear (6,3)4-MDS code or else a code equivalent to a linear code with these parameters. It follows that every (5,3)4-MDS code over must also be equivalent to linear. |
