Due to their rich algebraic structure, cyclic codes have a great deal of significance amongst linear codes. Duadic codes are the generalization of the quadratic residue codes, a special case of cyclic codes. The $m$-adic residue codes are…

In this paper, we investigate $\theta$-skew cyclic codes over the ring $R= \mathbb{F}_4 + v \mathbb{F}_4$, where $v^2=v$ and $\theta$ is a non-trivial automorphism over $\mathbb{F}_4 + v \mathbb{F}_4$. This allows us to describe DNA code…

Multi-dimensional cyclic code is a natural generalization of cyclic code. In an earlier paper we explored two-dimensional constacyclic codes over finite fields. Following the same technique, here we characterize the algebraic structure of…

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…

Let $A$ be a ring with identity, $\sigma$ a ring endomorphism of $A$ that maps the identity to itself, $\delta$ a $\sigma$-derivation of $A$, and consider the skew-polynomial ring $A[X;\sigma,\delta]$. When $A$ is a finite field, a Galois…

Two-dimensional cyclic codes of length $n=\ell s$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}$ are ideals of the polynomial ring $\frac{\mathbb{F}[x,y]}{< x^{s}-1,y^{\ell}-1 >}$. The aim of this paper, is to present a novel method to study the…

In this paper we introduce the notion of cyclic ($f(t),\sigma,\delta$)-codes for $f(t)\in \Ore$. These codes generalize the $\theta$-codes as introduced by D. Boucher, F. Ulmer, W. Geiselmann \cite{BGU}. We construct generic and control…

In this paper we introduce self-dual cyclic and quantum codes over Z2^{\alpha} x (Z2 + uZ2)^{\beta}. We determine the conditions for any Z2Z2[u]-cyclic code to be self-dual, that is, C = C^{\perp}. Since the binary image of a…

In this paper, we study the dihedral codes, i.e. the left ideals of $\mathbb{F}_qD_{n}$ in the case $\gcd(q, n) = 1$. An explicit algebraic description of the dihedral codes and their duals is obtained. In addition, a criterion for…
