Z2Z4-additive codes have been defined as a subgroup of Z2^{r} x Z4^{s} in [5] where Z2, Z4 are the rings of integers modulo 2 and 4 respectively and r and s positive integers. In this study, we define a new family of codes over the set…
Combinatorial designs are closely related to linear codes. In recent year, there are a lot of $t$-designs constructed from certain linear codes. In this paper, we aim to construct $2$-designs from binary three-weight codes. For any binary…
In this paper, several classes of three-weight codes and two-weight codes for the homogeneous metric over the chain ring $R=\mathbb{F}_p+u\mathbb{F}_p+\cdots +u^{k-1}\mathbb{F}_{p},$ with $u^k=0,$ are constructed, which generalises…

In this paper we study Z2Z4Z8-additive codes, which are the extension of recently introduced Z2Z4-additive codes. We determine the standard forms of the generator and parity-check matrices of Z2Z4Z8-additive codes. Moreover, we investigate…
In this paper, we mainly study the theory of linear codes over the ring $R =\mathbb{Z}_4+u\mathbb{Z}_4+v\mathbb{Z}_4+uv\mathbb{Z}_4$. By the Chinese Remainder Theorem, we have $R$ is isomorphic to the direct sum of four rings…
A classical result of Conway and Pless is that a natural projection of the fixed code of an automorphism of odd prime order of a self-dual binary linear code is self-dual. In this paper we prove that the same holds for involutions under…
Let $p$ be a prime number, $q=p^s$ for a positive integer $s$. For any positive divisor $e$ of $q-1$, we construct an infinite family codes of size $q^{2m}$ with few Lee-weight. These codes are defined as trace codes over the ring…
In this paper we introduce self-dual cyclic and quantum codes over Z2^{\alpha} x (Z2 + uZ2)^{\beta}. We determine the conditions for any Z2Z2[u]-cyclic code to be self-dual, that is, C = C^{\perp}. Since the binary image of a…
The minimum distance graph of a code has the codewords as vertices and edges exactly when the Hamming distance between two codewords equals the minimum distance of the code. A constructive proof for reconstructibility of an extended perfect…
Weight enumerators are important tools for deciphering the algebraic structure of the related code spaces and for understanding group actions on these spaces. Our study focuses on symmetrized weight enumerators of pairs of Type II codes…
The Nordstrom-Robinson, Kerdock, and (slightly modified) Pre\- parata codes are shown to be linear over $\ZZ_4$, the integers $\bmod~4$. The Kerdock and Preparata codes are duals over $\ZZ_4$, and the Nordstrom-Robinson code is self-dual.…
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…
The objective of this paper is to construct a class of linear codes with two nonzero weights and three nonzero weights by using the general trace functions, which weight distributions has been determined. These linear codes contain some…
We construct two new infinite families of trace codes of dimension $2m$, over the ring $\mathbb{F}_p+u\mathbb{F}_p,$ when $p$ is an odd prime. They have the algebraic structure of abelian codes. Their Lee weight distribution is computed by…
We address the maximum size of binary codes and binary constant weight codes with few distances. Previous works established a number of bounds for these quantities as well as the exact values for a range of small code lengths. As our main…
In this note, we study the classification of $\mathbb{Z}_4$-codes. For some special cases $(k_1,k_2)$, by hand, we give a classification of $\mathbb{Z}_4$-codes of length $n$ and type $4^{k_1}2^{k_2}$ satisfying a certain condition. Our…
Affine Grassmann codes are a variant of generalized Reed-Muller codes and are closely related to Grassmann codes. These codes were introduced in a recent work [2]. Here we consider, more generally, affine Grassmann codes of a given level.…
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…
