We consider the symmetry group of a $Z_2Z_4$-linear code with parameters of a $1$-perfect, extended $1$-perfect, or Preparata-like code. We show that, provided the code length is greater than $16$, this group consists only of symmetries…
The $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4\mathbb{Z}_8$-additive codes are subgroups of $\mathbb{Z}_2^{\alpha_1} \times \mathbb{Z}_4^{\alpha_2} \times \mathbb{Z}_8^{\alpha_3}$. A $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4\mathbb{Z}_8$-linear Hadamard code is a Hadamard…
Linear codes are considered over the ring Z_4+uZ_4, a non-chain extension of Z_4. Lee weights, Gray maps for these codes are defined and MacWilliams identities for the complete, symmetrized and Lee weight enumerators are proved. Two…
A code ${\cal C}$ is $\Z_2\Z_4$-additive if the set of coordinates can be partitioned into two subsets $X$ and $Y$ such that the punctured code of ${\cal C}$ by deleting the coordinates outside $X$ (respectively, $Y$) is a binary linear…
Linear complementary dual (LCD) codes over finite fields are linear codes satisfying $C\cap C^{\perp}=\{0\}$. We generalize the LCD codes over finite fields to $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_2[u]$-LCD codes over the ring…
We study a new class of codes over Z_2 x Z_2 which we call L-codes. They arise as a natural fifth step in a series of analogies between Kleinian codes, binary codes, lattices and vertex operator algebras. This analogy will be explained in…
Inspired by the Z2Z4-additive codes, linear codes over Z2^r x(Z2+uZ2)^s have been introduced by Aydogdu et al. more recently. Although these family of codes are similar to each other, linear codes over Z2^r x(Z2+uZ2)^s have some advantages…
In this paper, we study one-Lee weight and two-Lee weight codes over $\mathbb{Z}_{2}\mathbb{Z}_{2}[u]$, where $u^{2}=0$. Some properties of one-Lee weight $\mathbb{Z}_{2}\mathbb{Z}_{2}[u]$-additive codes are given, and a complete…
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 study a relative two-weight $\mathbb{Z}_2 \mathbb{Z}_4$-additive codes. It is shown that the Gray image of a two-distance $\mathbb{Z}_2 \mathbb{Z}_4$-additive code is a binary two-distance code and that the Gray image of a…
Let $G$ be a group. Two elements $x,y \in G$ are said to be in the same $z$-class if their centralizers in $G$ are conjugate within $G$. Consider $\mathbb F$ a perfect field of characteristic $\neq 2$, which has a non-trivial Galois…
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…
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…
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…
For every $n = 2^k > 8$ there exist exactly $[(k+1)/2]$ mutually nonequivalent $Z_4$-linear extended perfect codes with distance 4. All these codes have different ranks.
The purpose of this paper is to present the structure of the linear codes over a finite field with q elements that have a permutation automorphism of order m. These codes can be considered as generalized quasi-cyclic codes. Quasi-cyclic…
We propose an innovative approach to investigating the linearity of $\mathbb{Z}_{2^L}$-linear codes derived from $\mathbb{Z}_{2^L}$-additive codes using the generalized Gray map. To achieve this, we define two related binary codes: the…
Let ${\cal C}$ be a ${\mathbb{Z}}_2{\mathbb{Z}}_4$-additive code of length $n > 3$. We prove that if the binary Gray image of ${\cal C}$, $C=\Phi({\cal C})$, is a 1-perfect nonlinear code, then ${\cal C}$ cannot be a…
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…
All binary self-dual [44,22,8] codes with an automorphism of order 3 or 7 are classified. In this way we complete the classification of extremal self-dual codes of length 44 having an automorphism of odd prime order.
