Coding Theory and Rings
Coding Theory and Rings
Dates
19 June 2019
11.00h
Location
Shannon Seminar QC/2012.
Escola d’Enginyeria.
Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Abstract
The foundations of classical coding theory are described with specific attention to the MacWilliams relations and the Singleton bound. The transfer of these fundamental ideas to coding theory over more general alphabets is described. The use of rings in coding theory is also highlighted. We end with a discussion of the major open problems in coding theory.
Lecturer
