Abstract

Two linear codes are said to be a linear -intersection pair if their intersection has dimension . Guenda et al. (Des Codes Cryptogr. 88, 133–152, 2020) constructed most of the linear -intersection pairs of MDS codes and we complement their results by constructing some linear -intersection pairs of MDS codes over \(\mathbb {F}_{q}\) of lengths n = q,q + 1. Furthermore, we construct all the possible linear -intersection pairs of MDS codes over \(\mathbb {F}_{2^{m}}\) of length n = 2m + 2 ≥ 6. As a consequence, linear -intersection pairs of MDS codes for all possible parameters are given. Moveover, we can apply our results to asymmetric entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes (AEAQECCs) and obtain all the possible pure MDS CSS-type AEAQECCs.
