Fq2-double cyclic codes with respect to the Hermitian inner product.

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.
