Hyperoval code

Hyperoval code[1]

A projective code constructed using hyperovals in projective space.

Hexacode — Columns of hexacode's generator matrix represent the six points of a hyperoval in the projective plane \(PG(2,4)\) [2; pg. 289][3; Exam. 19.2.1].

\(q\)-ary sharp configuration — Codes based on hyperovals in \(PG_{2}(q)\) are \(q\)-ary sharp configurations [4; Table 12.1].
Projective two-weight code — Codes based on hyperovals in \(PG_{2}(q)\) with even \(q\) are projective two-weight codes [5,6][3; Exam. 19.2.1][7; Table 7.1].
Difference-set cyclic (DSC) code — Hyperoval difference sets yield DSC codes [8][9; Ch. 6].
Extended GRS code — Columns of parity-check matrices of triply extended RS codes consist of points of a hyperoval [2; Prop. 17.5].
Denniston code — Denniston codes for \(i=1\) are based on hyperovals in \(PG(2,2^a)\) [10].
