Abstract

We investigate the functional code C"h(X) introduced by G. Lachaud (1996) [10] in the special case where X is a non-singular Hermitian variety in PG(N,q^2) and h=2. In [4], F.A.B. Edoukou (2007) solved the conjecture of Sorensen (1991) [11] on the minimum distance of this code for a Hermitian variety X in PG(3,q^2). In this paper, we will answer the question about the minimum distance in general dimension N, with N
