Abstract:We formulate an Algebraic-Coding Equivalence to the Maximum Distance Separable Conjecture. Specifically, we present novel proofs of the following equivalent statements. Let (q, k) be a fixed pair of integers satisfying q is a prime power and 2 ≤ k ≤ q. We denote by P q the vector space of functions from a finite field F q to itself, which can be represented as the space P q := F q [x]/(x q − x) of polynomial functions. We denote by O n ⊂ P q the set of polynomials that are either the zero polynomial, or have a… Show more
