Documentation of the special lecture on "From Block Codes to Convolutional Codes, Subspace Codes and Grassmannians" by Dr. Virgilio P. Sison, Director of the Institute of Mathematical Science and Physics, College of Arts and Science, UPLB last March 21, 2013 at the Mathematics Building, UPLB, College, Laguna.
In his talk, constructions of distance-optimal systematic unit-memory convolutional codes from linear block codes over finite semi-local rings were discussed. Secondly, the...
