Dual toric codes and polytopes of degree one
Abstract
We define a statistical measure of the typical size of short words in a linear code over a finite field. We prove that the dual toric codes coming from polytopes of degree one are characterized, among all dual toric codes, by being extremal with respect to this measure. We also give a geometric interpretation of the minimum distance of dual toric codes and characterize its extremal values. Finally, we obtain formulas for the parameters of both primal and dual toric codes associated to polytopes of degree one.
