Abstract :
We generalize to any finite Fq fields a theorem about covering radius of codes of strength 2 proved by Helleseth and coworkers. Then,using this result and partial covering radius, we give bounds for the covering radius of first-order generalized Reed-Muller codes. Finally, using Magma, we get some improvements for F3.
