Abstract:
Series connected codes are generated by matrices obtained by series connected generating matrices of other linear codes. We find an estimate for the probability that the Hadamard square of series connected random linear codes coincides with the Cartesian product of the Hadamard squares of the linear codes involved in the connection.
Keywords:the Hadamard square, Schur square, Hadamard product of linear codes, Schur product of linear codes, series connected linear codes.
