Abstract

In this paper we prove new lower bounds for the minimum distance of a toric surface code CP defined by a convex lattice polygon P ⊂ ℝ2. The bounds involve a geometric invariant L(P), called the full Minkowski length of P. We also show how to compute L(P) in polynomial time in the number of lattice points in P. © 2008 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.
