Abstract
A correspondence between linear
codes and algorithms for computing a system
of
bilinear forms is established under which the codelength
is equal to the multiplicative complexity of the algorithm for computing
, and the code distance
is underbounded by the minimum number of multiplications required to compute any linear combination of the
forms in
. This hitherto unexplored approach to linear codes holds promise of a better understanding of the structure of existing codes as well as for methods of constructing new codes with prescribed rate and distance.
