Current version: 1.3 (in the 3.4.4 distribution)

Description

GUAVA is a share library package that implements coding theory algorithms in GAP 3. Codes can be created and manipulated and information about codes can be calculated.

GUAVA consists of various files written in the GAP 3 language, and an external program from J.S. Leon for dealing with automorphism groups of codes and isomorphism testing functions. Several algorithms that need the speed are integrated in the GAP 3 kernel.

GUAVA is written as a final project during our study of Mathematics at the Delft University of Technology, department of Pure Mathematics, and in Aachen, at Lehrstuhl D für Mathematik by R. Baart, J. Cramwinckel, E. Minkes, E. Roijackers.

Manual

A GUAVA manual is given in chapter 65 of the GAP 3 manual.
