Abstract

A function associated with a linear error-correcting code defined over a finite field with q elements, where q is a power of a prime p, is introduced. This function is a generalization of the energy function associated with a linear block code over the field ℤp as described by Bruck and Blaum in [1]. It is proven to have similar properties. In particular, the Maximum Likelihood Decoding (MLD) problem is shown to be characterized by the maximization of this function.
