We present a family of reducible cyclic codes constructed as the direct sum of two different semiprimitive two-weight irreducible cyclic codes. This family generalizes the class of reducible cyclic codes that was reported in the main result…
In coding theory, a very interesting problem (but at the same time, a very difficult one) is to determine the weight distribution of a given code. This problem is even more interesting for cyclic codes, and this is so, mainly because they…
A code is said to be two-weight if the non-zero codewords have only two different a weight w1 and w2. Two-weight codes are closely related to strongly regular graphs. In this paper. It is shown that a consta-cyclic code of composite length…
The results of [1,2] on linear homogeneous two-weight codes over finite Frobenius rings are exended in two ways: It is shown that certain non-projective two-weight codes give rise to strongly regular graphs in the way described in [1,2].…
Let $n\geq 3$ be a positive integer and let $\mathbb{F}_{q^k}$ be the splitting field of $x^n-1$. By $\gamma$ we denote a primitive element of $\mathbb{F}_{q^k}$. Let $C$ be a cyclic code of length $n$ whose check polynomial contains two…
It has been known since the 1970's that the difference of the non-zero weights of a projective $\mathbb{F}_q$-linear two-weight has to be a power of the characteristic of the underlying field. Here we study non-projective two-weight codes…

In this paper, a family of five-weight reducible cyclic codes is presented. Furthermore, the weight distribution of these cyclic codes is determined, which follows from the determination of value distributions of certain exponential sums.
Cyclic codes of dimension $2$ over a finite field are shown to have at most two nonzero weights. This extends a construction of Rao et al (2010) and disproves a conjecture of Schmidt-White (2002). We compute their weight distribution, and…
The cyclic codes with parity check polynomial the reciprocal of the characteristic polynomial of the Fibonacci recurrence over a prime finite field are shown to have either one weight or two weights. When these codes are irreducible cyclic…
We discuss a class of binary cyclic codes and their dual codes. The minimum distance is determined using algebraic geometry, and an application of Weil's theorem. We relate the weights appearing in the dual codes to the number of rational…
Projective two-weight linear codes are closely related to finite projective spaces and strongly regular graphs. In this paper, a family of $q$-ary projective two-weight linear codes is presented, where $q$ is a power of 2. The parameters of…
Usually, it is difficult to determine the weight distribution of an irreducible cyclic code. In this paper, we discuss the case when an irreducible cyclic code has the maximal number of distinct nonzero weights and give a necessary and…
In this paper we find the second generalized Hamming weight of some evaluation codes arising from a projective torus, and it allows to compute the second generalized Hamming weight of the codes parameterized by the edges of any complete…
Let $p$ be a prime number. Irreducible cyclic codes of length $p^2-1$ and dimension $2$ over the integers modulo $p^h$ are shown to have exactly two nonzero Hamming weights. The construction uses the Galois ring of characteristic $p^h$ and…
It is known that a linear two-weight code $C$ over a finite field $\F_q$ corresponds both to a multiset in a projective space over $\F_q$ that meets every hyperplane in either $a$ or $b$ points for some integers $a<b$, and to a strongly…
We obtain all possible parameters of Plotkin-optimal two-Lee weight projective codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4,$ together with their weight distributions. We show the existence of codes with these parameters as well as their weight distributions…
The duals of cyclic codes with two zeros have been extensively studied, and their weight distributions have recently been evaluated in some cases. In this note, we determine the weight distribution of a certain new class of such codes by…
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…
We give a recursive construction for projective Reed-Muller codes in terms of affine Reed-Muller codes and projective Reed-Muller codes in fewer variables. From this construction, we obtain the dimension of the subfield subcodes of…
