The linear code equivalence (LCE) problem is shown to be equivalent to the point set equivalence (PSE) problem, i.e., the problem to check whether two sets of points in a projective space over a finite field differ by a linear change of…
Given a graph, we associate each edge with the transposition which exchanges the endvertices. Fixing a linear order on the edge set, we obtain a permutation of the vertices. D\'enes proved that the permutation is a full cyclic permutation…
In this note, an intrinsic description of some families of linear codes with symmetries is given, showing that they can be described more generally as quasi group codes, that is, as linear codes allowing a group of permutation automorphisms…
For any finite field $\mathbb{F}$ and any positive integer $n$ we count the number of monic polynomials of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{F}$ with nonzero constant coefficient and a self-reciprocal factor of any specified degree. An application…
Let $m, n$ be positive integers such that $m>1$ divides $n$. In this paper, we introduce a special class of piecewise-affine permutations of the finite set $[1, n]:=\{1, \ldots, n\}$ with the property that the reduction $\pmod m$ of $m$…
We determine the permutation groups that arise as the automorphism groups of cyclic combinatorial objects. As special cases we classify the automorphism groups of cyclic codes. We also give the permutations by which two cyclic combinatorial…
A method for finding an optimum $n$-dimensional commutative group code of a given order $M$ is presented. The approach explores the structure of lattices related to these codes and provides a significant reduction in the number of…
In this paper, we introduce a standard generator matrix for mixed-alphabet linear codes over finite chain rings. Furthermore, we show that, when one has a linear complementary pair (LCP) of mixed-alphabet linear codes, both codes are…
Linear intersection pairs of linear codes have become of interest due to their nice algebraic properties and wide applications. In this paper, we focus on linear intersection pairs of cyclic codes over finite fields. Some properties of…
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…
We consider the problem of constructing a cyclic listing of all bitstrings of length $2n+1$ with Hamming weights in the interval $[n+1-\ell,n+\ell]$, where $1\leq \ell\leq n+1$, by flipping a single bit in each step. This is a far-ranging…
Cyclic codes over finite fields are widely implemented in data storage systems, communication systems, and consumer electronics, as they have very efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. They are also important in theory, as they are…
The monomial codes over a Galois field F_q that can be thought invariant subspaces are essential to us in this study. More specifically, we look into the link between monomial codes and characteristic subspaces and the decomposition of…
There is a one-to-one correspondence between $\ell$-quasi-cyclic codes over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ and linear codes over a ring $R = \mathbb F_q[Y]/(Y^m-1)$. Using this correspondence, we prove that every $\ell$-quasi-cyclic self-dual…
We continue the study of the class of binary extended perfect propelinear codes constructed in the previous paper and consider their permutation automorphism (symmetry) groups and Steiner quadruple systems. We show that the automorphism…
In this paper we study Holder continuous linear cocycles over transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms. Under various conditions of relative pinching we establish properties including existence and continuity of measurable invariant sub-bundles…
In this paper, we study the structure of cyclic, quasi-cyclic, constacyclic codes and their skew codes over the finite ring R=Z_3+vZ_3+v^2Z_3, v^3=v. The Gray images of cyclic, quasi-cyclic, skew cyclic, skew quasi-cyclic and skew…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of self-dual MRD codes $C\subset L^n$, where $L/F$ is an arbitrary field extension of degree $m\geq n$. We then apply our results to the case of finite fields, and prove that if $m=n$ and…
Certain simplicial complexes are used to construct a subset $D$ of $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}^m$ and $D$, in turn, defines the linear code $C_{D}$ over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ that consists of $(v\cdot d)_{d\in D}$ for $v\in \mathbb{F}_{2^n}^m$. Here we…
We give the structure of $\lambda$-constacyclic codes of length $p^sm$ over $R=\mathbb{F}_{p^r}+u \mathbb{F}_{p^r}+...+ u^{e-1}\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$ with $\lambda \in \F_{p^r}^*$. We also give the structure of $\lambda$-constacyclic codes of…
