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 construction stiff working overtime takes more stress and straining than we did just to stay high.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Bob Hughes (Matt Dillon)
“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)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
