Motivated by several recent results, we determine precisely when Fk(Xd, a) − Fk(0, a) is a Dembowski-Ostrom polynomial, where Fk(X, a) is a Dickson polynomial of the first or se...
We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact for...
This note is a continuation of a paper by the same authors that appeared in 2002 in the same journal. First we extend the method of the previous paper proving an asymptotic formul...
A linear error-block code is a natural generalization of the classical error-correcting code and has applications in experimental design, high-dimensional numerical integration an...
In this paper we construct some algebraic geometric error-correcting codes on surfaces whose Neron-Severi group has low rank. If the rank of the Neron-Severi group is 1, the inters...
