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 prove the parameters of the smallest absorbing sets for finite geometry codes using a tree-based argument. Moreover, we obtain the parameters of the smallest absorbing sets for a special class of codes whose graphs are d-left-regular with girth g = 6 or g = 8.
