Title: Structure and Symmetries of Affine Cartesian Codes and Constructions of Convolutional Codes
Time, day and date: 2:30:00 PM - 3:30:00 PM, Monday, January 19
Venue: Ramanujan Hall
Abstract: We give a presentation of the PhD thesis which focuses mainly on two topics in algebraic coding theory, namely affine Cartesian codes and convolutional codes. For affine Cartesian codes, we investigate the minimum weight codewords and automorphism groups. For convolutional codes, we develop new constructions of Maximum Distance Profile (MDP).
