On quadratic residue codes and hyperelliptic curves

For an odd prime p and each non-empty subset S⊂GF(p), consider the hyperelliptic curve X S defined by y 2 =f S (x), where f S (x) = ∏ a∈S (x-a). Using a connection between binary quadratic residue codes and hyperelliptic curves over GF(p), this paper investigates how coding theory bound...
