We characterize the structure of 2-quasi-cyclic codes over a finite field F by the so-called Goursat Lemma. With the characterization, we exhibit a necessary and sufficient condition for a 2-quasi-cyclic code being a dihedral code. And we…
In this paper, we study skew cyclic codes with arbitrary length over the ring $R=\mathbb{F}_{p}+u\mathbb{F}_{p}$ where $p$ is an odd prime and $% u^{2}=0$. We characterize all skew cyclic codes of length $n$ as left $% R[x;\theta…
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…
We present a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm that determines whether a finite module over a finite commutative ring is cyclic, and if it is, outputs a generator.
For a high-rate case, it is difficult to randomly construct good low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes of short and moderate lengths because their Tanner graphs are prone to making short cycles. Also, the existing high-rate quasi-cyclic…
In this paper, we prove existence of optimal complementary dual codes (LCD codes) over large finite fields. We also give methods to generate orthogonal matrices over finite fields and then apply them to construct LCD codes. Construction…

We study a class of quasi-cyclic LDPC codes. We provide precise conditions guaranteeing high girth in their Tanner graph. Experimentally, the codes we propose perform no worse than random LDPC codes with their same parameters, which is a…
Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) codes with a sparse and balanced generator matrix are appealing in distributed storage systems for balancing and minimizing the computational load. Such codes have been constructed via Reed-Solomon codes…
Let $q$ be a prime power and let $\mathcal{R}=\mathbb{F}_{q}[u_1,u_2, \cdots, u_k]/\langle f_i(u_i),u_iu_j-u_ju_i\rangle$ be a finite non-chain ring, where $f_i(u_i), 1\leq i \leq k$ are polynomials, not all linear, which split into…
A finite set system (FSS) is a pair (V; B) where V is a finite set whose members are called points, equipped with a finite collection of its subsets B whose members are called blocks. In this paper, finite set systems are used to define a…
A matrix $M$ over the finite field $ \mathbb{F}_q $ is called \emph{maximum distance separable} (MDS) if all of its square submatrices are non-singular. These MDS matrices are very important in cryptography and coding theory because they…
Binary cyclic codes having large dimensions and minimum distances close to the square-root bound are highly valuable in applications where high-rate transmission and robust error correction are both essential. They provide an optimal…
Binary duadic codes are an interesting subclass of cyclic codes since they have large dimensions and their minimum distances may have a square-root bound. In this paper, we present several families of binary duadic codes of length $2^m-1$…
The study of MDS self-dual codes has attracted lots of attention in recent years. There are many papers on determining existence of $q-$ary MDS self-dual codes for various lengths. There are not existence of $q-$ary MDS self-dual codes of…
This paper investigates the construction of rank-metric codes with specified Ferrers diagram shapes. These codes play a role in the multilevel construction for subspace codes. A conjecture from 2009 provides an upper bound for the dimension…
