In this paper, we study the algebraic structure of Z_2[u]Z_2[u, v]-additive codes which are Z_2[u, v]-submodules where u^2 = v^2 = 0 and uv = vu. In particular, we determine a Gray map from Z_2[u]Z_2 [u, v] to Z_2^{2{\alpha}+8\b{eta}} and…

This paper considers cyclic DNA codes of arbitrary length over the ring $R=\F_2[u]/u^4-1$. A mapping is given between the elements of $R$ and the alphabet $\{A,C,G,T\}$ which allows the additive stem distance to be extended to this ring.…
In this paper, we study the linear codes over the commutative ring $R=\F_{q}+v\F_{q}+v^{2}\F_{q}$ and their Gray images, where $v^{3}=v$. We define the Lee weight of the elements of $R$, we give a Gray map from $R^{n}$ to $\F^{3n}_{q}$ and…

A code $C = \Phi(\mathcal{C})$ is called $\mathbb{Z}_p \mathbb{Z}_{p^2}$-linear if it's the Gray image of the $\mathbb{Z}_p \mathbb{Z}_{p^2}$-additive code $\mathcal{C}$. In this paper, the rank and the dimension of the kernel of…
