Abstract

This is the second part of the series of papers devoted to the determination of the minimum distance of two-point codes on a Hermitian curve. We study the case where the minimum distance agrees with the designed one. In order to construct a function which gives a codeword with the designed minimum distance, we use functions arising from conics in the projective plane.
