Many kinds of codes which possess two cycle structures over two special finite commutative chain rings, such as ${\Bbb Z}_2{\Bbb Z}_4$-additive cyclic codes and quasi-cyclic codes of fractional index etc., were proved asymptotically good.…
Upper and lower bounds on the largest number of weights in a cyclic code of given length, dimension and alphabet are given. An application to irreducible cyclic codes is considered. Sharper upper bounds are given for the special cyclic…
In this paper we study a special type of quasi-cyclic (QC) codes called skew QC codes. This set of codes is constructed using a non-commutative ring called the skew polynomial rings $F[x;\theta ]$. After a brief description of the skew…
A linear code is linear complementary dual (LCD) if it meets its dual trivially. LCD codes have been a hot topic recently due to Boolean masking application in the security of embarked electronics (Carlet and Guilley, 2014). Additive codes…
In this paper, we investigate the structure and properties of additive complementary dual (ACD) codes over the mixed alphabet $\mathbb{F}_2\mathbb{F}_4$ relative to a certain inner product defined over $\mathbb{F}_2\mathbb{F}_4$. We…
Let $G$ be a finite cyclic group, written additively, and let $A,\ B$ be nonempty subsets of $G$. We will say that $G= A+B$ is a \textit{factorization} if for each $g$ in $G$ there are unique elements $a,\ b$ of $G$ such that $g=a+b, \ a\in…
A lot of attention has been paid to the investigation of the algebraic properties of linear codes. In most cases, this investigation involves the determination of required code automorphisms, which are useful for decoders, such as the…
The projective special linear group $\PSL_2(n)$ is $2$-transitive for all primes $n$ and $3$-homogeneous for $n \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ on the set $\{0,1, \cdots, n-1, \infty\}$. It is known that the extended odd-like quadratic residue codes are…
In network coding a constant dimension code consists of a set of k-dimensional subspaces of F_q^n. Orbit codes are constant dimension codes which are defined as orbits of a subgroup of the general linear group, acting on the set of all…
We study quasi-cyclic codes of index 2 over finite fields. We give a classification of such codes. Their duals with respect to the Euclidean, symplectic and Hermitian inner products are investigated. We describe self-orthogonal and…
The Galois ring GR$(4^\Delta)$ is the residue ring $Z_4[x]/(h(x))$, where $h(x)$ is a basic primitive polynomial of degree $\Delta$ over $Z_4$. For any odd $\Delta$ larger than $1$, we construct a partition of GR$(4^\Delta) \backslash…
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…
Linear complementary dual codes were defined by Massey in 1992, and were used to give an optimum linear coding solution for the two user binary adder channel. In this paper, we define the analog of LCD codes over fields in the ambient space…
In this article, we introduce and study the concept of the exponent of a cyclic code over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q.$ We give a relation between the exponent of a cyclic code and its dual code. Finally, we introduce and determine the…
Cyclic codes are among the most important families of codes in coding theory for both theoretical and practical reasons. Despite their prominence and intensive research on cyclic codes for over a half century, there are still open problems…
The $\mathbb{Z}_{2^s}$-additive codes are subgroups of $\mathbb{Z}^n_{2^s}$, and can be seen as a generalization of linear codes over $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and $\mathbb{Z}_4$. A $\mathbb{Z}_{2^s}$-linear Hadamard code is a binary Hadamard code…
We construct codes over the ring $\mathbb{F}_2+u\mathbb{F}_2$ with $u^2=0$. These code are designed for use in DNA computing applications. The codes obtained satisfy the reverse complement constraint, the $GC$ content constraint and avoid…
In this paper, we investigate cyclic code over the ring $\mathbb{F}_{p^k} + v\mathbb{F}_{p^k} + v^2\mathbb{F}_{p^k} + ... + v^r\mathbb{F}_{p^k}$, where $v^{r+1}=v$, $p$ a prime number, $r>1$ and $\gcd(r,p)=1$, we prove as generalisation of…
A $Z_2Z_4$-linear Hadamard code of length $\alpha+2\beta=2^t$ is a binary Hadamard code which is the Gray map image of a $Z_2Z_4$-additive code with $\alpha$ binary coordinates and $\beta$ quaternary coordinates. It is known that there are…
In this paper we characterize the algebraic structure of two-dimensional $(\alpha,\beta )$-constacyclic codes of arbitrary length $s.\ell$ and of their duals. For $\alpha,\beta \in \{1,-1\}$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…
