Near-rings (MDS)- and Laguerre codes

Abstract

(MDS)- and Laguerre codes are closely related to geometry and can be used in order to construct certain finite incidence structures. Here we present some structure theorems on near rings, introduce the notion of a “coding set” of a near ring, which enables us to construct (MDS)-codes, and discuss the same problem for Laguerre codes. To find non trivial “Laguerre sets” in a near ring is much more difficult.
