Abstract.The Main Conjecture on maximum distance separable (MDS) codes states that, except for some special cases, the maximum length of a q-ary linear MDS code of is q+1. This conjecture does not hold true for near maximum distance separable codes because of the existence of q-ary near-MDS elliptic codes having length bigger than q+1. An interesting related question is whether a near-MDS elliptic code may be extended to a longer near-MDS code. In this paper we prove some non-extendibility results for certain near-MDS elliptic codes.
