Calculation of the second minimum weight of Grassmann codes
Enhanced understanding of Grassmann codes' error correction
Abstract
We give an independent combinatorial proof of Nogin's Theorem concerning the minimum distance of the Grassmann codes using a special decomposition of the Grassmannians. We use the same idea to also compute the second minimum weight of the Grassmann codes.
