In this paper, we study the dihedral codes, i.e. the left ideals of $\mathbb{F}_qD_{n}$ in the case $\gcd(q, n) = 1$. An explicit algebraic description of the dihedral codes and their duals is obtained. In addition, a criterion for…

Let $R$ be a finite commutative chain ring, $D_{2n}$ be the dihedral group of size $2n$ and $R[D_{2n}]$ be the dihedral group ring. In this paper, we completely characterize left ideals of $R[D_{2n}]$ (called left $D_{2n}$-codes) when ${\rm…

A (left) group code of length n is a linear code which is the image of a (left) ideal of a group algebra via an isomorphism from FG to Fn which maps G to the standard basis of Fn. Many classical linear codes have been shown to be group…

A finite group with a cyclic normal subgroup N such that G/N is cyclic is said to be metacyclic. A code over a finite field F is a metacyclic code if it is a left ideal in the group algebra FG for G a metacyclic group. Metacyclic codes are…

Let $R^t$ denote the finite chain ring $\frac{\mathbb{F}_{p^m}[u]}{\langle u^t \rangle},$ where $p$ is a prime and $t$ is a positive integer. In this article, for a prime $p$ and an automorphism $\theta$ of $\mathbb{F}_{p^m}$, we give the…

In this paper convolutional codes with cyclic structure will be investigated. These codes can be understood as left principal ideals in a suitable skew-polynomial ring. It has been shown in [3] that only certain combinations of the…

In this article we see quasi-cyclic codes as block cyclic codes. We generalize some properties of cyclic codes to quasi-cyclic ones such as generator polynomials and ideals. Indeed we show a one-to-one correspondence between l-quasi-cyclic…

The problem of computing the dimension of a left/right ideal in a group algebra F[G] of a finite group G over a field F is considered. The ideal dimension is related to the rank of a matrix originating from a regular left/right…

In this work, cyclic-skew-cyclic codes and sum-rank BCH codes are introduced. Cyclic-skew-cyclic codes are characterized as left ideals of a suitable non-commutative finite ring, constructed using skew polynomials on top of polynomials (or…

Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes with arbitrary lengths over the ring $\mathbb{F}_{q}+u\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $u^2=0$, $q=p^n$, $n$ a positive integer and $p$ a prime number, are investigated. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem,…

Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, we settle an open problem…

Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes form a natural generalization of quasi-cyclic (QC) codes. They are viewed here as mixed alphabet codes over a family of ring alphabets. Decomposing these rings into local rings by the Chinese Remainder…

We give a simple construction of codes from left ideals in group algebras of certain dihedral groups and give an example to show that they can produce codes with weights equal to those of the best known codes of the same length.

It is well known that the problem of determining the weight distributions of families of cyclic codes is, in general, notoriously difficult. An even harder problem is to find characterizations of families of cyclic codes in terms of their…
