This paper considers cyclic DNA codes of arbitrary length over the ring $R=\F_2[u]/u^4-1$. A mapping is given between the elements of $R$ and the alphabet $\{A,C,G,T\}$ which allows the additive stem distance to be extended to this ring.…

For lengths 8,16 and 24, it is known that there is an extremal Type II Z2k-code for every positive integer k. In this paper, we show that there is an extremal Type II Z2k-code of lengths 32,40,48,56 and 64 for every positive integer k. For…
Lifted maximum rank distance (MRD) codes, which are constant dimension codes, are considered. It is shown that a lifted MRD code can be represented in such a way that it forms a block design known as a transversal design. A slightly…

By exploiting the connection between scattered $\mathbb{F}_q$-subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^3$ and minimal non degenerate $3$-dimensional rank metric codes of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^{n}$, $n \geq m+2$, described in [2], we will exhibit a new…
An additive code is an $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear subspace of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^n$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$, which is not a linear subspace over $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$. Linear complementary pairs (LCP) of codes have important roles in cryptography,…
Let $p$ be a prime integer, $n,s\geq 2$ be integers satisfying ${\rm gcd}(p,n)=1$, and denote $R=\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}[v]/\langle v^2-pv\rangle$. Then $R$ is a local non-principal ideal ring of $p^{2s}$ elements. First, the structure of any…

Linear complementary dual (LCD) codes are linear codes that intersect with their dual codes trivially. We study the largest minimum weight $d_2(n,k)$ among all binary LCD $[n,k]$ codes and the largest minimum weight $d_3(n,k)$ among all…
A non-zero $\mathbb{F}$-linear map from a finite-dimensional commutative $\mathbb{F}$-algebra to $\mathbb{F}$ is called an $\mathbb{F}$-valued trace if its kernel does not contain any non-zero ideals. In this article, we utilize an…
