We study the generalized rank weight distribution of a linear code. First, we provide a MacWilliams-type identity which relates the distributions of a code and its dual. Then, we give a formula for the enumerator polynomial. Finally, we…
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…
The MacWilliams Extension Theorem states that each linear isometry of a linear code extends to a monomial map. Unlike the linear codes, in general, additive codes do not have the extension property. In this paper, an analogue of the…
A Z2Z4-additive code C subset of Z_2^alpha x Z_4^beta is called cyclic if the set of coordinates can be partitioned into two subsets, the set of Z_2 and the set of Z_4 coordinates, such that any cyclic shift of the coordinates of both…
In this work, we determine new linear equations for the weight distribution of linear codes over finite chain rings. The identities are determined by counting the number of some special submatrices of the parity-check matrix of the code.…

This paper investigates the hull codes of free linear codes over a non-unital ring $ E= \langle \kappa,\tau \mid 2 \kappa =2 \tau=0,~ \kappa^2=\kappa,~ \tau^2=\tau,~ \kappa \tau=\kappa,~ \tau \kappa=\tau \rangle$. Initially, we examine the…
This paper considers a new alphabet set, which is a ring that we call $\mathbb{F}_4R$, to construct linear error-control codes. Skew cyclic codes over the ring are then investigated in details. We define a nondegenerate inner product and…
Linear codes are widely studied due to their applications in communication, cryptography, quantum codes, distributed storage and many other fields. In this paper, we use the trace and norm functions over finite fields to construct a family…
Since MacWilliams proved the original identity relating the Hamming weight enumerator of a linear code to the weight enumerator of its dual code there have been many different generalizations, leading to the development of $m$-tuple support…
Let q be a prime power and F_q be a finite field. In this paper, we study constacyclic codes over the ring F_q+ u F_q +v F_q+ u v F_q, where u^2=u, v^2=v and uv=vu. We characterized the generator polynomials of constacyclic codes and their…

In this paper, we construct an infinite family of three-weight binary codes from linear codes over the ring $R=\mathbb{F}_2+v\mathbb{F}_2+v^2\mathbb{F}_2$, where $v^3=1.$ These codes are defined as trace codes. They have the algebraic…
In order to understand the performance of a code under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding, it is crucial to know the minimal codewords. In the context of linear programming (LP) decoding, it turns out to be necessary to know the minimal…
