GALOIS LCD CODES OVER

Abstract

AbstractWu and Shi [‘A note on k-Galois LCD codes over the ring $\mathbb {F}_q + u\mathbb {F}_q$ ’, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.104(1) (2021), 154–161] studied $ k $ -Galois LCD codes over the finite chain ring $\mathcal {R}=\mathbb {F}_q+u\mathbb {F}_q$ , where $u^2=0$ and $ q=p^e$ for some prime p and positive integer e. We extend the results to the finite nonchain ring $ \mathcal {R} =\mathbb {F}_q+u\mathbb {F}_q+v\mathbb {F}_q+uv\mathbb {F}_q$ , where $u^2=u,v^2=v $ and $ uv=vu $ . We define a correspondence between the $ l $ -Galois dual of linear codes over $ \mathcal {R} $ and the $ l $ -Galois dual of their component codes over $ \mathbb {F}_q $ . Further, we construct Euclidean LCD and $ l $ -Galois LCD codes from linear codes over $ \mathcal {R} $ . We prove that any linear code over $ \mathcal {R} $ is equivalent to a Euclidean code over $\mathbb {F}_q$ with $ q>3 $ and an $ l $ -Galois LCD code over $ \mathcal {R}$ with $0<l<e$ and $p^{e-l}+1\mid p^e-1$ . Finally, we investigate MDS codes over $ \mathcal {R}$ .
