Srivastava codes, formulated by Professor J. N. Srivastava, form a class of parameterised error-correcting codes which are a special case of alternant codes.

Definition

The original Srivastava code over GF(q) of length n is defined by a parity check matrix H of alternant form

$\begin{bmatrix} \frac{\alpha_1^\mu}{\alpha_1-w_1} & \cdots & \frac{\alpha_n^\mu}{\alpha_n-w_1} \\ \vdots & \ddots & \vdots \\ \frac{\alpha_1^\mu}{\alpha_1-w_s} & \cdots & \frac{\alpha_n^\mu}{\alpha_n-w_s} \\ \end{bmatrix}$

where the α_i and z_i are elements of GF(q^m)

Properties

The parameters of this code are length n, dimension ≥ n − ms and minimum distance ≥ s + 1.
