A linear code $C$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called $\Delta$-divisible if the Hamming weights $\operatorname{wt}(c)$ of all codewords $c \in C$ are divisible by $\Delta$. The possible effective lengths of $q^r$-divisible codes have been…

We study codes with parameters of the ternary Hamming $(n=(3^m-1)/2,3^{n-m},3)$ code, i.e., ternary $1$-perfect codes. The rank of the code is defined to be the dimension of its affine span. We characterize ternary $1$-perfect codes of rank…
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…
