In this paper, we introduce F q 2 -double cyclic codes of length n = r + s , where F q 2 is the Galois field of q 2 elements, q is a power of a prime integer p and r, s are positive integers. We determine the generator polynomials for any F q 2 -double cyclic code. For any F q 2 -double cyclic code C , we will define the Euclidean dual code C ⊥ based on the Euclidean inner product and the Hermitian dual code C ⊥ H based on the Hermitian inner product. We will construct a relationship between C ⊥ and C ⊥ H and then find the generator polynomials for the Hermitian dual code C ⊥ H. As an application of our work, we will present examples of optimal parameter linear codes over the finite field F 4 and also examples of optimal quantum codes that were derived from F 4 -double cyclic codes using the Hermitian inner product.

In this paper, we introduce self-dual cyclic codes over the ring ℤ 2 × (ℤ 2 + u ℤ 2) = ℤ 2 ℤ 2 [ u ]. We determine the conditions for any ℤ 2 ℤ 2 [ u ] -cyclic code to be self-dual, that is, 𝒞 = 𝒞 ⊥ . Since the binary image of a self-orthogonal ℤ 2 ℤ 2 [ u ] -linear code is also a self-orthogonal binary linear code, we introduce quantum codes over ℤ 2 ℤ 2 [ u ]. Finally, we present some examples of self-dual cyclic and quantum codes that have good parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ℤ 2 ℤ 2 s -additive codes for any integer s > 1 are considered as codes over mixed alphabets. They are a generalization of binary linear codes and linear codes over ℤ 2 s . In this paper, we are interested in studying ℤ 2 ℤ 2 s -additive cyclic codes. We will give the generator polynomials of these codes. We will also give the minimal spanning sets for these codes. We will define separable ℤ 2 ℤ 2 s -additive codes and provide conditions on the generator polynomials for a ℤ 2 ℤ 2 s -additive cyclic code to be separable. Finally, we present some examples of optimal parameter binary codes obtained as images of ℤ 2 ℤ 8 -additive cyclic codes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently some special type of mixed alphabet codes that generalize the standard codes has attracted much attention. Besides Z 2 Z 4 -additive codes, Z 2 Z 2 [ u ] -linear codes are introduced as a new member of such families. In this paper, we are interested in a new family of such mixed alphabet codes, i.e., codes over Z 2 Z 2 [ u 3 ] where Z 2 [ u 3 ] = { 0 , 1 , u , 1 + u , u 2 , 1 + u 2 , u + u 2 , 1 + u + u 2 } is an 8-element ring with u 3 = 0 . We study and determine the algebraic structures of linear and cyclic codes defined over this family. First, we introduce Z 2 Z 2 [ u 3 ] -linear codes and give standard forms of generator and parity-check matrices and later we present generators of both cyclic codes and their duals over Z 2 Z 2 [ u 3 ] . Further, we present some examples of optimal binary codes which are obtained through Gray images of Z 2 Z 2 [ u 3 ] -cyclic codes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following the very recent studies on \mathbb Z2\mathbb Z4 -additive codes, \mathbb Z2\mathbb Z2[u] -linear codes have been introduced by Aydogdu et al. In this paper, we introduce and study the algebraic structure of cyclic, constacyclic codes and their duals over the R -module \mathbb {Z}_{2}^\alpha R^\beta where R=\mathbb {Z}_{2}+u\mathbb {Z}_{2}=\left \{{0,1,u,u+1}\right \} is the ring with four elements and u^2=0 . We determine the generating independent sets and the types and sizes of both such codes and their duals. Finally, we present a bound and an optimal family of codes attaining this bound and also give some illustrative examples of binary codes that have good parameters which are obtained from the cyclic codes in \mathbb Z_2^\alpha R^\beta .

In this paper, we give the exact number of Z 2 Z 4 -additive cyclic codes of length n = r + s , for any positive integer r and any positive odd integer s. We will provide a formula for the the number of separable Z 2 Z 4 -additive cyclic codes of length n and then a formula for the number of non-separable Z 2 Z 4 -additive cyclic codes of length n. Then, we have generalized our approach to give the exact number of Z p Z p 2 -additive cyclic codes of length n = r + s , for any prime p, any positive integer r and any positive integer s where gcd p , s = 1. Moreover, we will provide examples of the number of these codes with different lengths n = r + s . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
