In this paper, we study skew cyclic codes over the ring $R=\F_q+u\F_q+v\F_q+uv\F_q$, where $u^{2}=u,v^{2}=v,uv=vu$, $q=p^{m}$ and $p$ is an odd prime. We investigate the structural properties of skew cyclic codes over $R$ through a…

Coding theory and $t$-designs have close connections and interesting interplay. In this paper, we first introduce a class of ternary linear codes and study their parameters. We then focus on their three-weight subcodes with a special weight…

Two-weight linear codes are linear codes in which any nonzero codeword can have only two possible distinct weights. Those in the Hamming metric have proven to be very interesting for their connections with authentication codes, association…

We construct an infinite family of two-Lee-weight and three-Lee-weight codes over the non-chain ring $\mathbb{F}_p+u\mathbb{F}_p+v\mathbb{F}_p+uv\mathbb{F}_p,$ where $u^2=0,v^2=0,uv=vu.$ These codes are defined as trace codes. They have the…

Let C be an arbitrary simple-root cyclic code and let G be the subgroup of Aut(C) (the automorphism group of C) generated by the multiplier, the cyclic shift and the scalar multiplications. To the best of our knowledge, the subgroup G is…

In this paper, we investigate cyclic code over the ring $\mathbb{F}_{p^k} + v\mathbb{F}_{p^k} + v^2\mathbb{F}_{p^k} + ... + v^r\mathbb{F}_{p^k}$, where $v^{r+1}=v$, $p$ a prime number, $r>1$ and $\gcd(r,p)=1$, we prove as generalisation of…

As a generalization of cyclic codes, quasi-cyclic (QC) codes contain many good linear codes. But quasi-cyclic codes studied so far are mainly limited to one generator (1-generator) QC codes. In this correspondence, 2-generator and…

We consider the family of polynomials $f_{d,c}(x)=x^d+c$ over the rational field $\Q$. Fixing integers $d, n\ge 2$, we show that the density of primes that can appear as primitive prime divisors of $f_{d,c}^n(0)$ for some $c\in\Q$ is…

The problem of identifying whether the family of cyclic codes is asymptotically good or not is a long-standing open problem in the field of coding theory. It is known in the literature that some families of cyclic codes such as BCH codes…
