Résumé

We consider a class of algebraic geometry codes associated with a maximal curve of genus three whose number of rational points satisfies the upper Hasse — Weil — Serre bound. It is proved that the number of rational points of such curve is odd and has a classification: the first type includes $4$-tuples of conjugate points of multiplicity $1$, the second type includes couples conjugate points of multiplicity $2$, and the third type includes a single point of multiplicity $4$. It is found out for which types of points the divisor of the functional field of the desired curve and consisting of these points is the principle. We consider special cases when $\mathrm{deg}\,(G)=2,4$, and establish the form of a divisor $D$ when AG-code $\mathcal{C}_{\mathscr{L}}(D,G)$ associated with the divisors $D$ and $G$ is MDS-code. It is shown that the AG-code $\mathcal{C}_{\mathscr{L}}(D,G)$ is not an MDS-code if the divisor $D - G$ is principle and $\mathrm{deg}\,(G) \geq 5$. Also, it is proved that $\mathcal{C}_{\mathscr{L}}(D,G)$ is an MDS-code if the divisor $D$ consists only of the first type points of curve conjugated to each other for $\mathrm{deg}\,(D) \geq 8$ and $G=\dfrac{\mathrm{deg}\,(D)+2}{2}P_\infty$. Finally, it is shown that the dual equivalent code $\mathcal{C}_{\mathscr{L}}(D,H)^\perp$ to the code $\mathcal{C}_{\mathscr{L}}(D,G)$, which is not MDS, will also not be MDS with conditions $\mathrm{deg}\,(D)-\alpha < \mathrm{deg}\,(H) < \mathrm{deg}\,(D)$, $4 < \mathrm{deg}\,(G) < \alpha+4$, $5<\alpha<\mathrm{deg}\,(D)-5$, and $D$ consists only of conjugate points of the first type.
