Construction
Traditionally, an AG-code is constructed from a non-singular projective curve X over a finite field by using a number of fixed distinct -rational points
- := {P1, P2, ..., Pn} ⊂ X ( ) on X.
Let G be a divisor on X, with a support that consists of only rational points and that is disjoint from the 's. Thus ∩ supp(G) = Ø
By the Riemann-Roch theorem, there is a unique finite-dimensional vector space, with respect to the divisor G. The vector space is a subspace of the function field of X.
There are two main types of AG-codes that can be constructed using the above information.

Famous quotes containing the word construction:
“No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Striving toward a goal puts a more pleasing construction on our advance toward death.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“There’s no art
To find the mind’s construction in the face:
He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
