Abstract

GUAVA is a GAP 4 package primarily designed for the construction and analysis of error-correcting codes authored by Jasper Cramwinckel, Erik Roijackers, Reinald Baart, Eric Minkes, Lea Ruscio, and David Joyner. Though GUAVA can call some special functions written in C, most of GUAVA is written in GAP's own interpretive language. Several algorithms that need the speed were integrated into the GAP kernel, also written in C, by Steve Linton.
