Two-weight and three-weight linear codes based on Weil sums

Abstract

Linear codes with few weights have applications insecret sharing,authentication codes,association schemes and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, several classes of two-weight and three-weight linear codes are presented and their weight distributions are determined using Weil sums. Some of the linear code sobtained are optimal or almost optimal with respect to the Griesmer bound.
