A new approach to construct minimal linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_{3}$

Abstract

In this article, we present two new approaches to construct minimal linear codes of dimension $n+1$ over $\mathbb{F}_{3}$ using characteristic and ternary functions. We also obtain the weight distributions of these constructed minimal linear codes. We further show that a specific class of these codes violates Ashikhmin-Barg condition.
