This is a manuscript of a chapter prepared for a book. The good codes possess large information length and large minimum distance. A class of codes is said to be asymptotically good if there exists a positive real $\delta$ such that, for…
Bicyclic codes are a generalization of the one dimensional (1D) cyclic codes to two dimensions (2D). Similar to the 1D case, in some cases, 2D cyclic codes can also be constructed to guarantee a specified minimum distance. Many aspects of…
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…
Let $p$ be a prime integer, $n,s\geq 2$ be integers satisfying ${\rm gcd}(p,n)=1$, and denote $R=\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}[v]/\langle v^2-pv\rangle$. Then $R$ is a local non-principal ideal ring of $p^{2s}$ elements. First, the structure of any…
We study one generator quasi-cyclic codes and four-circulant codes, which are also quasi-cyclic but have two generators. We state the hull dimensions for both classes of codes in terms of the polynomials in their generating elements. We…
In this work, we study cyclic codes that have generators as Fibonacci polynomials over finite fields. We show that these cyclic codes in most cases produce families of maximum distance separable and optimal codes with interesting…
We consider linear cyclic codes with the locality property, or locally recoverable codes (LRC codes). A family of LRC codes that generalize the classical construction of Reed-Solomon codes was constructed in a recent paper by I. Tamo and A.…
Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $m$ be a positive integer satisfying $p^m \equiv 3~(\text{mod }4).$ Let $\mathbb{F}_{p^m}$ be the finite field with $p^m$ elements, and let $R=\mathbb{F}_{p^m}[u]/\left<u^2\right>$ be the finite commutative…
In this paper, we study the $\sigma$-self-orthogonality of constacyclic codes of length $p^s$ over the finite commutative chain ring $\mathbb F_{p^m} + u \mathbb F_{p^m}$, where $u^2=0$ and $\sigma$ is a ring automorphism of $\mathbb…
Let $f(u)$ and $g(v)$ be any two polynomials of degree $k$ and $\ell$ respectively ($k$ and $\ell$ are not both $1$), which split into distinct linear factors over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Let $\mathcal{R}=\mathbb{F}_{q}[u,v]/\langle…
One of the main goals of coding theory is to construct codes with best possible parameters and properties. A special class of codes called quasi-twisted (QT) codes is well-known to produce codes with good parameters. Most of the work on QT…
MDS self-dual codes over finite fields have attracted a lot of attention in recent years by their theoretical interests in coding theory and applications in cryptography and combinatorics. In this paper we present a series of MDS self-dual…
Double Toeplitz (shortly DT) codes are introduced here as a generalization of double circulant codes. We show that such a code is isodual, hence formally self-dual. Self-dual DT codes are characterized as double circulant or double…
Quadratic residue codes have been one of the most important classes of algebraic codes. They have been generalized into duadic codes and quadratic double circulant codes. In this paper we introduce a new subclass of double circulant codes,…
In this article we study the automorphism groups of binary cyclic codes. In particular, we provide explicit constructions for codes whose automorphism groups can be described as (a) direct products of two symmetric groups or (b) iterated…
In this paper, we give an important isomorphism between contacyclic codes and cyclic codes over finite principal ideal rings. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of non-trivial cyclic self-dual codes over finite principal…
Quasi-cyclic (QC) codes form an important generalization of cyclic codes. It is well know that QC codes of length $s\ell$ with index $s$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}$ are $\mathbb{F}[y]$-submodules of the ring $\frac{\mathbb{F}[x,y]}{<…
We provide a polynomial approach to investigate linear complementary dual (LCD) quasi-cyclic codes over finite fields. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for LCD quasi-cyclic codes of index 2 with respect to the Euclidean,…
We construct codes over the ring $\mathbb{F}_2+u\mathbb{F}_2$ with $u^2=0$. These code are designed for use in DNA computing applications. The codes obtained satisfy the reverse complement constraint, the $GC$ content constraint and avoid…
We begin this chapter by introducing the simple algebraic structure of cyclic codes over finite fields. This structure undergoes a series of generalizations to present algebraic descriptions of constacyclic, quasi-cyclic (QC), quasi-twisted…
