The problem of finding the covering radius and minimum distance of algebraic and arithmetic codes is shown to be related to Waring's problem i n a finite field and to the theory of cyclotomic numbers. The methods devel oped l ead to new results for the covering radius of certain f-errorcorrecting BC

A new quaternary linear code of length 19, codimension 5, and covering radius 2 is found in a computer search using tabu search, a local search heuristic. Starting from this code, which has some useful partitioning properties, di!erent lengthening constructions are applied to get an in"nite family o
We present lower and upper bounds on the covering radius of Reed-Muller codes, yielding asymptotical improvements on known results. The lower bound is simply the sphere covering one (not very new). The upper bound is derived from a thorough use of a lemma, the 'essence of Reed-Mullerity'. The idea
