A cyclic codes of length $n$ over the rings $Z_{2^{m}}$ of integer of modulo $2^{m}$ is a linear code with property that if the codeword $(c_0,c_1,...,c_{n-1})\in \mathcal{C}$ then the cyclic shift $(c_1,c_2,...,c_0)\in \mathcal{C}$.…
It is known that some good linear codes over a finite ring (R-linear codes) arise from interesting point constellations in certain projective geometries. For example, the expurgated Nordstrom-Robinson code, a nonlinear binary [14,6,6]-code…
The $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4\mathbb{Z}_8$-additive codes are subgroups of $\mathbb{Z}_2^{\alpha_1} \times \mathbb{Z}_4^{\alpha_2} \times \mathbb{Z}_8^{\alpha_3}$. A $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_4\mathbb{Z}_8$-linear Hadamard code is a Hadamard…
A linear code of length $n$ over a finite chain ring $R$ with residue field $\F_q$ is a $R$-submodule of $R^n$. A $R$-linear code is a code over $\F_q$ (not necessarily linear) which is the generalized Gray map image of a linear code over…
Let $p$ be a prime number. Irreducible cyclic codes of length $p^2-1$ and dimension $2$ over the integers modulo $p^h$ are shown to have exactly two nonzero Hamming weights. The construction uses the Galois ring of characteristic $p^h$ and…
The generalized Hamming weights (GHWs) of linear codes are fundamental parameters, the knowledge of which is of great interest in many applications. However, to determine the GHWs of linear codes is difficult in general. In this paper, we…
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…
Using integer linear programming and table-lookups we prove that there is no binary linear $[1988, 12, 992]$ code. As a by-product, the non-existence of binary linear codes with the parameters $[324, 10, 160]$, $[356, 10, 176]$,…
We consider the symmetry group of a $Z_2Z_4$-linear code with parameters of a $1$-perfect, extended $1$-perfect, or Preparata-like code. We show that, provided the code length is greater than $16$, this group consists only of symmetries…
This paper presents some basic theorems giving the structure of cyclic codes of length n over the ring of integers modulo p^a and over the p-adic numbers, where p is a prime not dividing n. An especially interesting example is the 2-adic…
Projective Reed-Muller codes correspond to subcodes of the Reed-Muller code in which the polynomials being evaluated to yield codewords, are restricted to be homogeneous. The Generalized Hamming Weights (GHW) of a code ${\cal C}$, identify…
The Hamming weight enumerator function of the formally self-dual even, binary extended quadratic residue code of prime p = 8m + 1 is given by Gleason's theorem for singly-even code. Using this theorem, the Hamming weight distribution of the…
We provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamental structural properties of weighted projective Reed-Muller codes. We give a recursive construction for these codes, under some conditions for the weights, and we use it to derive bounds…
We introduce self-dual codes over the Kleinian four group $K = \mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ for a natural quadratic form on $K^n$ and develop the theory. Topics studied are: weight enumerators, mass formulas, classification up to…
If $N=2^k > 8$ then there exist exactly $[(k-1)/2]$ pairwise nonequivalent $Z_4$-linear Hadamard $(N,2N,N/2)$-codes and $[(k+1)/2]$ pairwise nonequivalent $Z_4$-linear extended perfect $(N,2^N/2N,4)$-codes. A recurrent construction of…
There are exactly two non-commutative rings of size $4$, namely, $E = \langle a, b ~\vert ~ 2a = 2b = 0, a^2 = a, b^2 = b, ab= a, ba = b\rangle$ and its opposite ring $F$. These rings are non-unital. A subset $D$ of $E^m$ is defined with…
