The study of permutation automorphism groups of cyclic codes is a central topic in algebraic coding theory. A cyclic code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called irreducible if its check polynomial is irreducible over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Such a code is…

An $f$-subgroup is a linear recurring sequence subgroup, a multiplicative subgroup of a field whose elements can be generated (without repetition) by a linear recurrence relation, with characteristic polynomial $f$. It is called…

In this paper, several families of irreducible constacyclic codes over finite fields and their duals are studied. The weight distributions of these irreducible constacyclic codes and the parameters of their duals are settled. Several…

This article begins with an exploration of nonlinear codes ($\mathbb{F}_q$-linear subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}^n$) which are generalizations of the familiar Reed-Solomon codes. This then leads to a wider exploration of nonlinear analogues…

Let $f(u)$ be a polynomial of degree $m, m \geq 2,$ which splits into distinct linear factors over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Let $\mathcal{R}=\mathbb{F}_{q}[u]/\langle f(u)\rangle$ be a finite non-chain ring. In an earlier paper, we…

In this paper we investigate repeated root cyclic and negacyclic codes of length $p^rm$ over $\mathbb{F}_{p^s}$ with $(m,p)=1$. In the case $p$ odd, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on the existence of negacyclic self-dual codes.…

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…

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 $\mathbb{F}_q^n$…

In this paper, we give conditions for the existence of Hermitian self-dual $\Theta-$cyclic and $\Theta-$negacyclic codes over the finite chain ring $\mathbb{F}_q+u\mathbb{F}_q$. By defining a Gray map from $R=\mathbb{F}_q+u\mathbb{F}_q$ to…

Codes which have a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q^m}$ as their alphabet but which are only linear over a subfield $\mathbb{F}_q$ are a topic of much recent interest due to their utility in constructing quantum error correcting codes. In this…

Cyclic and self-dual codes are important classes of codes in coding theory. Jia, Ling and Xing \cite{Jia} as well as Kai and Zhu \cite{Kai} proved that Euclidean self-dual cyclic codes of length $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ exist if and only if…

The projective special linear group $\PSL_2(n)$ is $2$-transitive for all primes $n$ and $3$-homogeneous for $n \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ on the set $\{0,1, \cdots, n-1, \infty\}$. It is known that the extended odd-like quadratic residue codes are…

We study orbit codes in the field extension ${\mathbb F}_{q^n}$. First we show that the automorphism group of a cyclic orbit code is contained in the normalizer of the Singer subgroup if the orbit is generated by a subspace that is not…

We introduce a Gray map from $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}+u\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}$ to $\mathbb{F}_{2}^{2m}$ and study $(1+u)$-constacyclic codes over $\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}}+u\mathbb{F}_{2^{m}},$ where $u^{2}=0.$ It is proved that the image of a…

Self-dual cyclic codes form an important class of linear codes. It has been shown that there exists a self-dual cyclic code of length $n$ over a finite field if and only if $n$ and the field characteristic are even. The enumeration of such…

The construction of self-dual codes over small fields such that their minimum distances are as large as possible is a long-standing challenging problem in the coding theory. In 2009, a family of binary self-dual cyclic codes with lengths…
