We introduce a variant of PCPs, that we refer to as rectangular PCPs, wherein proofs are thought of as square matrices, and the random coins used by the verifier can be partitioned into two disjoint sets, one determining the row of each…

Let $m\geq 3$ be an odd integer and $p$ be an odd prime. % with $p-1=2^rh$, where $h$ is an odd integer. In this paper, many classes of three-weight cyclic codes over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ are presented via an examination of the condition for…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements and denote by $\theta : \mathbb{F}_q\to\mathbb{F}_q$ an automorphism of $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we deal with skew constacyclic codes, that is, linear codes of $\mathbb{F}_q^n$…

Given a matrix over a skew field fixing the column (1,...,1)^t, we give formulas for a row vector fixed by this matrix. The same techniques are applied to give noncommutative extensions of probabilistic properties of codes.

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.…

Let $P,Q\in\Bbb Z$, $U_0=0,\ U_1=1$ and $U_{n+1}=PU_n-QU_{n+1}$. In this paper we obtain a general congruence for $U_{kmn^r}/U_k\pmod {n^{r+1}}$, where $k,m,n,r$ are positive integers. As applications we extend Lucas' law of repetition and…

A linear code of length $n$ over a finite chain ring $R$ with residue field $\F_q$ is a $R$-submodule of $R^n$. A $R$-linear code is a code over $\F_q$ (not necessarily linear) which is the generalized Gray map image of a linear code over…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In this paper we investigate quadratic residues modulo $p$ and related permutations, congruences and identities. If $a_1<\ldots<a_{(p-1)/2}$ are all the quadratic residues modulo $p$ among $1,\ldots,p-1$, then the…

In this paper, we describe linear and cyclic codes over the rings of the form $R_{s,p}=\mathbb{Z}_{p}[u]/\left( f\left(u\right) /\left( u-s\right) \right)$, where $p$ is a prime number and $f\left( u\right) =u^{p}-u$, with $s\in…

By a very simple argument, we prove that if $l,m,n$ are nonnegative integers then $$\sum_{k=0}^l(-1)^{m-k}\binom{l}{k}\binom{m-k}{n}\binom{2k}{k-2l+m} =\sum_{k=0}^l\binom{l}{k}\binom{2k}{n}\binom{n-l}{m+n-3k-l}. On the basis of this…

Let $\mathrm{SLAut}(\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n})$ denote the group of all semilinear isometries on $\mathbb{F}_{q}^{n}$, where $q=p^{e}$ is a prime power. Matrix-product (MP) codes are a class of long classical codes generated by combining several…

Let q be a prime power and F_q be a finite field. In this paper, we study constacyclic codes over the ring F_q+ u F_q +v F_q+ u v F_q, where u^2=u, v^2=v and uv=vu. We characterized the generator polynomials of constacyclic codes and their…

Motivated by a concept studied in [1], we consider a property of matrices over finite fields that generalizes triangular totally nonsingular matrices to block matrices. We show that (1) matrices with this property suffice to construct good…

For any positive integer $m$ and an odd prime $p$; let $\mathbb{F}_{q}+u\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $q=p^{m}$, be a ring extension of the ring $\mathbb{F}_{p}+u\mathbb{F}_{p}.$ In this paper, we construct linear codes over…

We prove that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_n(\textbf{F}_q)$ of traceless matrices over a finite field of characteristic $p$ can be generated by $2$ elements with exceptions when $(n, p)$ is $(3, 3)$ or $(4,2)$. In the latter cases, we…
