On the order bounds for one-point AG codes

Olav Geil, Carlos Munuera, Diego Ruano, Fernando Torres · Advances in Mathematics of Communications · 2011

The order bound for the minimum distance of algebraic geometry codes was originally defined for the duals of one-point codes and later generalized for arbitrary algebraic geometry codes. Another bound of order type for the minimum distance of general linear codes, and for codes from order domains in particular, was given in [1]. Here we investigate in detail the application of that bound to one-point algebraic geometry codes, obtaining a bound d* for the minimum distance of these codes. We establish a connection between d* and the order bound and its generalizations. We also study the improved code constructions based on d*. Finally we extend d* to all generalized Hamming weights.
