Abstract

We examine the presence of absorbing sets, fully absorbing sets, and elementary absorbing sets in low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes arising from certain classes of finite geometries. In particular, we analyze the absorbing set spectra of LDPC codes from finite Euclidean planes. For some parameters, we classify the absorbing sets present and give exact counts on their multiplicities.
