Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes

The present volume contains the proceedings of the AAECC-5 Conference held at Menorca (Balearic Islands), June 15-19, 1987. The annual International AAECC Conference covers a range of topics related to Applied Algebra, Error-Correcting Codes, Finite Algebraic Structures, Computational Methods and Complexity in Algebra and Geometry. For the AAECC-5 Conference 73 papers were presented. Out of these thirty papers were selected for publication in the proceedings. They deal with topics such as error correcting codes (concerning problems of covering radius, decoding methods, expert systems and general results in coding theory), computational algebra, Gröbner basis, complexity, finite algebra and graphs. The proceedings of the 6th conference are published as Vol. 357 of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science.Huguet, Llorenc is the author of 'Applied Algebra, Algebraic Algorithms and Error-Correcting Codes', published 1989 under ISBN 9783540510826 and ISBN 3540510826.
