Cyclic, negacyclic and constacyclic codes are part of a larger class of codes called polycyclic codes; namely, those codes which can be viewed as ideals of a factor ring of a polynomial ring. The structure of the ambient ring of polycyclic…

Codes over Galois rings have been studied extensively during the last three decades. Negacyclic codes over $GR(2^a,m)$ of length $2^s$ have been characterized: the ring $\mathcal{R}_2(a,m,-1)= \frac{GR(2^a,m)[x]}{\langle x^{2^s}+1\rangle}$…

A Gray code is a listing structure for a set of combinatorial objects such that some consistent (usually minimal) change property is maintained throughout adjacent elements in the list. While Gray codes for m-ary strings have been…
