Irreducible cyclic codes are one of the largest known classes of block codes which have been investigated for a long time. However, their weight distributions are known only for a few cases. In this paper, a class of irreducible cyclic…

The weight hierarchy of a linear code has been an important research topic in coding theory since Wei's original work in 1991. Choosing $ D=\Big\{(x,y)\in \Big(\F_{p^{s_1}}\times\F_{p^{s_2}}\Big)\Big\backslash\{(0,0)\}: f(x)+g(y)=0\Big\}$…

Determining the weight distribution of a linear code is a classical and fundamental topic in coding theory that has been extensively investigated. Repeated-root cyclic codes, which form a significant subclass of error-correcting codes, have…
Cyclic codes have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. The decoding error probability and the undetected error probability are usually bounded by or given from the weight distributions of the codes. Most researches are about the…

Let b be an odd integer such that b=+/-1 (mod 8) and let q be a prime with primitive root 2 such that q does not divide b. We show that if (p(k)) is a sequence of odd primes, with 0<=k<=q-2 such that p(k)=2p(k-1)+b for all 1<=k<=q-2, then…

We study trace codes with defining set $L,$ a subgroup of the multiplicative group of an extension of degree $m$ of the alphabet ring $\mathbb{F}_3+u\mathbb{F}_3+u^{2}\mathbb{F}_{3},$ with $u^{3}=1.$ These codes are abelian, and their…
An odd prime $p$ is called irregular with respect to Euler polynomials if it divides the numerator of one of the numbers $$E_1(0),E_{3}(0),\ldots,E_{p-2}(0),$$ where $E_n(x)$ is the $n$-th Euler polynomial. As in the classical case, we link…
The determination of weight distribution of cyclic codes involves evaluation of Gauss sums and exponential sums. Despite of some cases where a neat expression is available, the computation is generally rather complicated. In this note, we…
