We first define a new Gray map from R = Z 4 + u Z 4 to Z 4 2 , where u 2 = 1 and study ( 1 + 2 u ) -constacyclic codes over R . Also of interest are some properties of ( 1 + 2 u ) -constacyclic codes over R . Considering their Z 4 images, we prove that the Gray images of ( 1 + 2 u ) -constacyclic codes of length n over R are cyclic codes of length 2 n over Z 4 . In many cases the latter codes have better parameters than those in the online database of Aydin and Asamov. We also give a corrected version of a table of new cyclic R -codes published by Özen et al. [7] . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Let R = Z 4 be the integer ring mod 4. A double cyclic code of length ( r , s ) over R is a set that can be partitioned into two parts that any cyclic shift of the coordinates of both parts leaves invariant the code. These codes can be viewed as R [ x ] -submodules of R [ x ] / ( x r − 1 ) × R [ x ] / ( x s − 1 ) . In this paper, we determine the generator polynomials of this family of codes as R [ x ] -submodules of R [ x ] / ( x r − 1 ) × R [ x ] / ( x s − 1 ) . Further, we also give the minimal generating sets of this family of codes as R -submodules of R [ x ] / ( x r − 1 ) × R [ x ] / ( x s − 1 ) . Some optimal or suboptimal nonlinear binary codes are obtained from this family of codes. Finally, we determine the relationship of generators between the double cyclic code and its dual.
