Intersection sets, three-character multisets and associated codes (Q522202)

A set of points in \(\mathrm{PG}(r,q^2)\) or \(\mathrm{AG}(r,q^2)\) is a t-intersection set with respect to hyperplanes if every hyperplane contains at least \(t>0\) points of the set. The authors constructs new minimal intersection sets in \(\mathrm{AG}(r,q^2)\) with three intersection numbers with hyperplanes. These sets are used to construct linear codes with few weights. The weight enumerator of these codes is also given. An intersection set is an \(m\)-character set if the size of the intersection of the set with a hyperplanes must be one of \(m\) possible values. The authors give a new family of three-character multisets in \(\mathrm{PG}(r,q^2)\) with \(r\) even and compute their weight distributions as well.
