Bounds on the number of rational points of algebraic hypersurfaces over finite fields, with applications to projective Reed-Muller codes (Q326308): Difference between revisions

The authors build on the work of A. Sboui by studying the weights of the \(d\)-th order \(q\)-ary projective Reed-Muller codes \(\mathrm{PRM}(q,d,n)\), for small \(d\). This is accomplished by finding bounds on the number of points in algebraic curves and hypersurfaces in \(P^n(F_q)\), depending on the number of linear components contained in these objects.
