Abstract

The matrix description of a near-MDR code is given, and some judging criterions are presented for near-MDR codes. We also give the weight distribution of a near-MDR code and the applications of a near-MDR code to secret sharing schemes. Furthermore, we will introduce the chain condition for free codes over finite chain rings, and then present a formula for computing higher weights of tensor product of free codes satisfying the chain condition. We will also find a chain for any near-MDR code, and thus show that any near-MDR code satisfies the chain condition.
