Ding's tri-weight code conjecture for trinomial value-sets

From papers

Let m5m\ge 5 be an odd integer. Let ff be any trinomial specified in the paper, let D(f)D(f)^* be its punctured value-set, and let CD(f)\mathcal{C}_{D(f)^*} denote the associated binary trace code. Ding's tri-weight code conjecture. The code CD(f)\mathcal{C}_{D(f)^*} is a [2m1,m,2m22(m3)/2][2^{m-1},m,2^{m-2}-2^{(m-3)/2}]-code with weight enumerator polynomial

1+(2m22(m3)/2)z2m22(m3)/2+(2m11)z2m2+(2m2+2(m3)/2)z2m2+2(m3)/2.1+(2^{m-2}-2^{(m-3)/2})z^{2^{m-2}-2^{(m-3)/2}}+(2^{m-1}-1)z^{2^{m-2}}+(2^{m-2}+2^{(m-3)/2})z^{2^{m-2}+2^{(m-3)/2}}.

Furthermore, the dual code of CD(f)\mathcal{C}_{D(f)^*} is a [2m1,2m1m,3][2^{m-1},2^{m-1}-m,3]-code. The abstract says that the paper gives a partial resolution of this conjecture, while the displayed formulation records the full claimed parameters and weight distribution.
