Abstract

The dual of the Kasami code of length q21q^2-1, with qq a power of 22, is constructed by concatenating a cyclic MDS code of length q+1q+1 over FqF_q with a Simplex code of length q1q-1. This yields a new derivation of the weight distribution of the Kasami code, a new description of its coset graph, and a new proof that the Kasami code is completely regular. The automorphism groups of the Kasami code and the related qq-ary MDS code are determined. New cyclic completely regular codes over finite fields a power of 22, generalized Kasami codes, are constructed; they have coset graphs isomorphic to that of the Kasami codes. Another wide class of completely regular codes, including additive codes, as well as unrestricted codes, is obtained by combining cosets of the Kasami or generalized Kasami code.

Revised version. The automorphism-group part essentially updated (in the previous versions, it contained incorrect results)
