Abstract

In this work, we studied the generalized Hamming weights of algebraic geometric Goppa codes on the $\mathcal{GH}$ curve. Especially, exact results on the second generalized Hamming weight are given for almost all cases. Furthermore, we apply the results obtained to show an example where the weight hierarchy characterizes the performance of the $\mathcal{GH}$ codes on a noiseless communication channel.

Keywords:

Generalized Hamming weights,
