Abstract

The generalized Hamming weights of a linear code are fundamental code parameters related to the minimal overlap structures of the subcodes. They were introduced by V.K. Wei (1991) and shown to characterize the performance of the linear code in certain cryptographical applications. Results are presented on the generalized Hamming weights of several classes of binary cyclic codes, including primitive double-error-correcting and triple-error-correcting BCH codes, certain reversible cyclic codes, and some extended binary Goppa codes. In particular, the second generalized Hamming weight of primitive double-error-correcting BCH codes is determined and upper and lower bounds are obtained for the generalized Hamming weights for the codes studied. These bounds are compared to results from other methods. >
