CONSTRUCTION OF EVALUATION CODES FROM HERMITIAN CURVES CONSTRUCTION OF EVALUATION CODES FROM HERMITIAN CURVES

An evaluation code is a generalization of a one-point algebraic geometry code. The aim of this article is to present a method of constructing evaluation codes from the Hermitian curves, and compute the Feng-Rao bounds for their minimum distances. It is proved that some of such evaluation codes have a better property than one-point Hermitian codes.
