Extending results of Van Der Vlugt,
I shall derive a new non-trivial upper bound for the dimension of trace
codes connected to algebraic-geometric codes. Furthermore, I will deduce
their true dimension if certain conditions are satisfied. Finally,
potential areas of improvement and other related results will be outlined.
