In an interesting paper Professor Cunsheng Ding provided three constructions of cyclic codes of length being a product of two primes. Numerical data shows that many codes from these constructions are best cyclic codes of the same length and dimension over the same finite field. However, not much is known about these codes. In this paper we explain some of the mysteries of the numerical data by ...

This paper present the construction cyclic isodual codes over finite fields and finite chain rings. These codes are monomially equivalent to their dual. Conditions are given for the existence of cyclic isodual codes. In addition, the concept of duadic codes over finite fields is extended to finite chain rings. Several constructions of isodual cyclic codes and self-dual codes are given.

Cyclic codes have wide applications in data storage systems and communication systems. Employing two-prime Whiteman generalized cyclotomic sequences of order 6, we construct several classes of cyclic codes over the finite field GF(q) and give their generator polynomials. And we also calculate the minimum distance of some cyclic codes and give lower bounds of the minimum distance for some other ...

In this paper, we have studied cyclic codes over the ring R = Z4 +uZ4, u = 0. We have considered cyclic codes of odd lengths. A sufficient condition for a cyclic code over R to be a Z4-free module is presented. We have provided the general form of the generators of a cyclic code over R and determined a formula for the ranks of such codes. In this paper we have mainly focused on principally gene...

The punctured binary Reed-Muller code is cyclic and was generalized into the punctured generalized ReedMuller code over GF(q) in the literature. The major objective of this paper is to present another generalization of the punctured binary Reed-Muller code. Another objective is to construct a family of reversible cyclic codes that are related to the newly generalized Reed-Muller codes. Index Te...

The unequal error correction capabilities of binary cyclic codes of composite length aye investigated. Under certain conditions, direct sums of concatenated codes have unequal error correction capabilities. By a modified Hartmann and Tzeng algorithm, it is shown that a binary cyclic code of composite length is equivalent to the direct sum of concatenated codes. With this, some binary cyclic une...

In this article we see quasi-cyclic codes as block cyclic codes. We generalize some properties of cyclic codes to quasi-cyclic ones such as generator polynomials and ideals. Indeed we show a one-to-one correspondence between l-quasi-cyclic codes of length lm and ideals of Ml(Fq)[X]/(X m −1). This permits to construct new classes of codes, namely quasi-BCH and quasi-evaluation codes. We study th...
