This solves an open problem posed in \"Vertex properties of maximum scattered linear sets of $\\mathrm{PG}(1,q^n)$\" (2019). As a consequence of Sheekey's results in \"A new family of linear maximum rank distance codes\" (2016), this family yields to new MRD-codes with parameters $(6,6,q;5)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-10-05T14:33:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "51E20", "05B25", "51E22" ], "keywords": [ "maximum scattered linear sets", "linear maximum rank distance codes", "vertex properties", "special case" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
