We give two methods for constructing many linear complementary dual (LCD for short) codes from a given LCD code, by modifying some known methods for constructing self-dual codes. Using the methods, we construct binary LCD codes and…

Skew polynomial rings over finite fields ([7] and [10]) and over Galois rings ([8]) have been used to study codes. In this paper, we extend this concept to finite chain rings. Properties of skew constacyclic codes generated by monic right…
We consider the problem of constructing prefix-free codes in which a designated symbol, a space, can only appear at the end of codewords. We provide a linear-time algorithm to construct almost-optimal codes with this property, meaning that…
We consider locally repairable codes over small fields and propose constructions of optimal cyclic and linear codes in terms of the dimension for a given distance and length. Four new constructions of optimal linear codes over small fields…

We investigate details of the chaotic dynamics of dual-unitary quantum circuits by evaluating all $2k$-point out-of-time-ordered correlators. For the generic class of circuits, by writing the correlators as contractions of a class of…
We study covering codes of permutations with the $\ell_\infty$-metric. We provide a general code construction, which uses smaller building-block codes. We study cyclic transitive groups as building blocks, determining their exact covering…
The $\Z_p\Z_{p^2}$-additive codes are subgroups of $\Z_p^{\alpha_1} \times \Z_{p^2}^{\alpha_2}$, and can be seen as linear codes over $\Z_p$ when $\alpha_2=0$, $\Z_{p^2}$-additive codes when $\alpha_1=0$, or $\Z_2\Z_4$-additive codes when…
Recent interest on permutation rank modulation shows the Kendall tau metric as an important distance metric. This note documents our first efforts to obtain upper bounds on optimal code sizes (for said metric) ala Delsarte's approach. For…
In this paper, we study cyclic codes over the ring $ \Z_p + u\Z_p +...+ u^{k-1}\Z_p $, where $u^k =0$. We find a set of generator for these codes. We also study the rank, the dual and the Hamming distance of these codes.
A variable-length code is a fix-free code if no codeword is a prefix or a suffix of any other codeword. In a fix-free code any finite sequence of codewords can be decoded in both directions, which can improve the robustness to channel noise…
In this article, we construct new non-binary quantum codes from skew constacyclic codes over finite commutative non-chain ring $\mathcal{R}= \mathbb{F}_{p^m}[v]/\langle v^3 =v \rangle$ where $p$ is an odd prime and $m \geq 1$. In order to…
The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First we show that Kim's building-up construction of binary self-dual codes is equivalent to Chinburg-Zhang's Hilbert symbol construction. Second we introduce a $q$-ary version of Chinburg-Zhang's…
Recently, automorphism ensemble decoding (AED) has drawn research interest as a more computationally efficient alternative to successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding of polar codes. Although AED has demonstrated superior performance for…
