This work explores LCD and self-dual codes over a noncommutative non-unital ring $ E_p= \langle r,s ~|~ pr =ps=0,~ r^2=r,~ s^2=s,~ rs=r,~ sr=s \rangle$ of order $p^2$ where $p$ is a prime. Initially, we study the monomial equivalence of two free $E_p$-linear codes. In addition, a necessary and sufficient condition is derived for a free $E_p$-linear code to be MDS and almost MDS (AMDS). Then, we use these results to classify MDS and AMDS LCD codes over $E_2$ and $E_3$ under monomial equivalence for lengths up to $6$. Subsequently, we study left self-dual codes over the ring $E_p$ and classify MDS and AMDS left self-dual codes over $E_2$ and $E_3$ for lengths up to $12$. Finally, we study self-dual codes over the ring $E_p$ and classify MDS and AMDS self-dual codes over $E_2$ and $E_3$ for smaller lengths., Comment: 15 pages

This work introduces a novel approach to constructing DNA codes from linear codes over a non-chain extension of $\mathbb{Z}_4$. We study $(\text{\textbaro},\mathfrak{d}, \gamma)$-constacyclic codes over the ring $\mathfrak{R}=\mathbb{Z}_4+\omega\mathbb{Z}_4, \omega^2=\omega,$ with an $\mathfrak{R}$-automorphism $\text{\textbaro}$ and a $\text{\textbaro}$-derivation $\mathfrak{d}$ over $\mathfrak{R}.$ Further, we determine the generators of the $(\text{\textbaro},\mathfrak{d}, \gamma)$-constacyclic codes over the ring $\mathfrak{R}$ of any arbitrary length and establish the reverse constraint for these codes. Besides the necessary and sufficient criterion to derive reverse-complement codes, we present a construction to obtain DNA codes from these reversible codes. Moreover, we use another construction on the $(\text{\textbaro},\mathfrak{d},\gamma)$-constacyclic codes to generate additional optimal and new classical codes. Finally, we provide several examples of $(\text{\textbaro},\mathfrak{d}, \gamma)$ constacyclic codes and construct DNA codes from established results. The parameters of these linear codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4$ are better and optimal according to the codes available at \cite{z4codes}., Comment: 20

This paper explores the behaviour of commuting Jordan derivations over prime rings with non-trivial idempotents and demonstrates that they become zero maps. Further, it establishes this result for commuting Jordan higher derivations over prime rings under specific conditions. In fact, it introduces commuting generalized Jordan derivations over rings and establishes that the zero map is the only commuting generalized Jordan derivation over prime rings under certain assumptions., Comment: 10

Let $\mathcal A$ the affine algebra given by the ring $\mathbb{F}_q[X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_\ell]/ I$, where $I$ is the ideal $\langle t_1(X_1), t_2(X_2), \ldots, t_\ell(X_\ell) \rangle$ with each $t_i(X_i)$, $1\leq i\leq \ell$, being a square-free polynomial over $\mathbb{F}_q$. This paper studies the $k$-Galois hulls of $\lambda$-constacyclic codes over $\mathcal A$ regarding their idempotent generators. For this, first, we define the $k$-Galois inner product over $\mathcal A$ and find the form of the generators of the $k$-Galois dual and the $k$-Galois hull of a $\lambda$-constacyclic code over $\mathcal A$. Then, we derive a formula for the $k$-Galois hull dimension of a $\lambda$-constacyclic code. Further, we provide a condition for a $\lambda$-constacyclic code to be $k$-Galois LCD. Finally, we give some examples of the use of these codes in constructing entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes.

For a graph $G= (V, E)$, a Roman dominating function is a map $f : V \rightarrow \{0, 1, 2\}$ satisfies the property that if $f(v) = 0$, then $v$ must have adjacent to at least one vertex $u$ such that $f(u)= 2$. The weight of a Roman dominating function $f$ is the value $f(V)= \Sigma_{u \in V} f(u)$, and the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on $G$ is called the Roman domination number of $G$, denoted by $\gamma_R(G)$. The main focus of this paper is to study the Roman domination number of zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ and find the bounds of the Roman domination number of $T(\Gamma(R))$., Comment: 9

We consider generalized quadratic forms over real quadratic number fields and prove, under a natural positive-definiteness condition, that a generalized quadratic form can only be universal if it contains a quadratic subform that is universal. We also construct an example illustrating that the positive-definiteness condition is necessary.

Let $K$ be a totally real number field, $d$ a positive integer, and $Q$ a higher degree form over $K$. We prove that there are at most finitely many totally real extensions $L/K$ of degree $d$ such that $Q$ over $L$ is universal. Further, we show that there are no universal forms over totally real infinite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ having the Northcott property., Comment: 15 pages, comments are welcome!

Recent advancements in nanotechnology have led to the development of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based rapid and low-cost technologies for ultra-sensitive label-free detection and identification of molecular analytes. Herein, we utilized the synergistic plasmonic and chemical enhancement effects of Au-WS2 nanohybrids to attain the high-intensity Raman signals of targeted analytes. To develop these nanohybrids, a series of monodispersed Au nanoparticles (NPs) of varying diameters from 20 to 80 nm was chemically synthesized and successively blended with liquid-phase exfoliated WS2 nano-flakes of average lateral size 90 nm. They provided a maximum enhancement factor (EF) of ~1.80 109 corresponding to the characteristic peaks at 1364 cm-1 and 1512 cm-1 for R6G analyte molecules. Theoretical studies based on the finite-difference time-domain simulations on Au-WS2 nanohybrid systems revealed a huge field-intensity enhancement with an EF of more than 1000 at the plasmonic hotspots, which was induced by the strong coupling of individual plasmon oscillations of the adjacent Au NPs upon light interactions. These electromagnetic effects along with the chemical enhancement effects of WS2 nanoflakes were found to be mainly responsible for such huge enhancement in Raman signals. Furthermore, these hybrids were successfully employed for achieving highly sensitive detection of the E. coli ATCC 35218 bacterial strain with a concentration of 104 CFU/mL in phosphate-buffered saline media, indicating their real capabilities for practical scenarios. The findings of the present study will indeed provide vital information in the development of innovative nanomaterial-based biosensors, that will offer new possibilities for addressing critical public health concerns.

We study the universality of forms of degrees greater than 2 over rings of integers of totally real number fields. We show that such universal forms always exist, but cannot be characterized by any variant of the 290-Theorem of Bhargava-Hanke., Comment: 12 pages, to appear in Math. Nachr

Statistical analysis of high-frequency stock market order transaction data is conducted to understand order transition dynamics. We employ a first-order time-homogeneous discrete-time Markov chain model to the sequence of orders of stocks belonging to six different sectors during the USA-China trade war of 2018. The Markov property of the order sequence is validated by the Chi-square test. We estimate the transition probability matrix of the sequence using maximum likelihood estimation. From the heat-map of these matrices, we found the presence of active participation by different types of traders during high volatility days. On such days, these traders place limit orders primarily with the intention of deleting the majority of them to influence the market. These findings are supported by high stationary distribution and low mean recurrence values of add and delete orders. Further, we found similar spectral gap and entropy rate values, which indicates that similar trading strategies are employed on both high and low volatility days during the trade war. Among all the sectors considered in this study, we observe that there is a recurring pattern of full execution orders in Finance & Banking sector. This shows that the banking stocks are resilient during the trade war. Hence, this study may be useful in understanding stock market order dynamics and devise trading strategies accordingly on high and low volatility days during extreme macroeconomic events.

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q=p^m$ elements where $p$ is a prime and $m$ is a positive integer. This paper considers $(\gamma,\Delta)$-cyclic codes over a class of finite commutative non-chain rings $\mathscr{R}_{q,s}=\mathbb{F}_q[v_1,v_2,\dots,v_s]/\langle v_i-v_i^2,v_iv_j=v_jv_i=0\rangle$ where $\gamma$ is an automorphism of $\mathscr{R}_{q,s}$, $\Delta$ is a $\gamma$-derivation of $\mathscr{R}_{q,s}$ and $1\leq i\neq j\leq s$ for a positive integer $s$. Here, we show that a $(\gamma,\Delta)$-cyclic code of length $n$ over $\mathscr{R}_{q,s}$ is the direct sum of $(\theta,\Im)$-cyclic codes of length $n$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $\theta$ is an automorphism of $\mathbb{F}_q$ and $\Im$ is a $\theta$-derivation of $\mathbb{F}_q$. Further, necessary and sufficient conditions for both $(\gamma,\Delta)$-cyclic and $(\theta,\Im)$-cyclic codes to contain their Euclidean duals are established. Finally, we obtain many quantum codes by applying the dual containing criterion on the Gray images of these codes. The obtained codes have better parameters than those available in the literature.

In this study, in order to get better codes, we focus on double skew cyclic codes over the ring $\mathrm{R}= \mathbb{F}_q+v\mathbb{F}_q, ~v^2=v$ where $q$ is a prime power. We investigate the generator polynomials, minimal spanning sets, generator matrices, and the dual codes over the ring $\mathrm{R}$. As an implementation, the obtained results are illustrated with some good examples. Moreover, we introduce a construction for new generator matrices and thus achieve codes with improved parameters compared to those found in existing literature. Finally, we tabulate our obtained block codes over the ring $\mathrm{R}$., Comment: 20

We investigate generalized quadratic forms with values in the set of rational integers over quadratic fields. We characterize the real quadratic fields which admit a positive definite binary generalized form of this type representing every positive integer. We also show that there are only finitely many such fields where a ternary generalized form with these properties exists., Comment: 26 pages; comments are welcome!
