Abstract: We introduce the concept of $delta$-sequence. A $delta$-sequence $Delta$ generates a well-ordered semigroup $S$ in $mathbb{Z}^2$ or $mathbbR$. We show how to construct (and compute parameters) for the dual code of any evaluation code associated with a weight function defined by $Delta$ from the polynomial ring in two indeterminates to a semigroup $S$ as above. We prove that this is a simple procedure which can be understood by considering a particular class of valuations of function fields of surfaces, called plane valuations at infinity. We also give algorithms to construct an unlimited number of $delta$-sequences of the different existing types, and so this paper provides the tools to know and use a new large set of codes.
