This original monograph investigates several unsolved problems that currently exist in coding theory. A highly relevant branch of mathematical computer science, the theory of error-correcting codes is concerned with reliably transmitting data over a ‘noisy’ channel. Despite its fairly long history and consistent prominence, the field still contains interesting problems that have resisted solution by some of the most prominent mathematicians of recent decades.Employing SAGE—a free open-source mathematics software system—to illustrate ideas, this book is intended for graduate students and researchers in algebraic coding theory, especially those who are interested in finding some current unsolved problems. Familiarity with concepts in algebra, number theory, and modular forms is assumed. The work may be used as supplementary reading material in a graduate course on coding theory or for self-study.
