Given a finite extension $K/F$ of degree $r$ of a finite field $F$, we enumerate all selfdual skew cyclic codes in the Ore quotient ring $K[X;\text{Frob}]/(X^{rk}-1)$ for any positive integer $k$ coprime to the characteristic $p$ (separable…
In this paper, we study the algebraic structure of $(\sigma,\delta)$-polycyclic codes, defined as submodules in the quotient module $S/Sf$, where $S=R[x,\sigma,\delta]$ is the Ore extension ring, $f\in S$, and $R$ is a finite but not…
Quantum maximal-distance-separable (MDS) codes form an important class of quantum codes. To get $q$-ary quantum MDS codes, it suffices to find linear MDS codes $C$ over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ satisfying $C^{\perp_H}\subseteq C$ by the Hermitian…
Quasi-cyclic (QC) codes form an important generalization of cyclic codes. It is well know that QC codes of length $s\ell$ with index $s$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}$ are $\mathbb{F}[y]$-submodules of the ring $\frac{\mathbb{F}[x,y]}{<…
Constacyclic codes over finite fields are a family of linear codes and contain cyclic codes as a subclass. Constacyclic codes are related to many areas of mathematics and outperform cyclic codes in several aspects. Hence, constacyclic codes…
We generalize the notion of cyclic codes by using generator polynomials in (non commutative) skew polynomial rings. Since skew polynomial rings are left and right euclidean, the obtained codes share most properties of cyclic codes. Since…
This paper considers the construction of isodual quasi-cyclic codes. First we prove that two quasi-cyclic codes are permutation equivalent if and only if their constituent codes are equivalent. This gives conditions on the existence of…
For $\lambda$ an $n$-th power of a unit in a finite chain ring we prove that $\lambda$-constacyclic repeated-root codes over some finite chain rings are equivalent to cyclic codes. This allows us to simplify the structure of some…
Quasi-twisted (QT) codes are a generalization of quasi-cyclic (QC) codes. Based on consta-cyclic simplex codes, a new explicit construction of a family of 2-generator quasi-twisted (QT) two-weight codes is presented. It is also shown that…
Symmetry is at the heart of coding theory. Codes with symmetry, especially cyclic codes, play an essential role in both theory and practical applications of classical error-correcting codes. Here we examine symmetry properties for codeword…
For a skew polynomial ring $R=A[X;\theta,\delta]$ where $A$ is a commutative Frobenius ring, $\theta$ an endomorphism of $A$ and $\delta$ a $\theta$-derivation of $A$, we consider cyclic left module codes $\mathcal{C}=Rg/Rf\subset R/Rf$…
Previously, self-dual codes have been constructed from weighing matrices, and in particular from conference matrices (skew and symmetric). In this paper, codes constructed from matrices of skew symmetric type whose determinants reach the…
Quasi-cyclic codes have been recently employed in the constructions of quantum error-correcting codes. In this paper, we propose a construction of infinite families of quasi-cyclic codes over $\F_q$ which are self-orthogonal with respect to…
We study the automorphisms of Jha-Johnson semifields obtained from an invariant irreducible twisted polynomial $f\in K[t;\sigma]$, where $K=\mathbb{F}_{q^n}$ is a finite field and $\sigma$ an automorphism of $K$ of order $n$, with a…
In this paper, we investigate the existence and asymptotic property of self-dual $2$-quasi negacyclic codes of length $2n$ over a finite field of cardinality $q$. When $n$ is odd, we show that the $q$-ary self-dual $2$-quasi negacyclic…
Convolutional codes were originally conceived as vector subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space over a field of Laurent series having a polynomial basis. Piret and Roos modeled cyclic structures on them by adding a module structure…
In this paper we consider the Suzuki curve $y^q + y = x^{q_0}(x^q + x)$ over the field with $q = 2^{2m+1}$ elements. The automorphism group of this curve is known to be the Suzuki group $Sz(q)$ with $q^2(q-1)(q^2+1)$ elements. We construct…
The dual of the Kasami code of length $q^2-1$, with $q$ a power of $2$, is constructed by concatenating a cyclic MDS code of length $q+1$ over $F_q$ with a Simplex code of length $q-1$. This yields a new derivation of the weight…
In this paper we introduce the notion of cyclic ($f(t),\sigma,\delta$)-codes for $f(t)\in \Ore$. These codes generalize the $\theta$-codes as introduced by D. Boucher, F. Ulmer, W. Geiselmann \cite{BGU}. We construct generic and control…
Let $A=\frac{\mathbb{F}[x]}{\langle f(x)\rangle }$, where $f(x)$ is a monic polynomial over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. In this paper, we study the relation between $A$-codes and their duals. In particular, we state a counterexample and a…
