A Class of Three-Weight Cyclic Codes
Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer
electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems as they have
efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, a class of
three-weight cyclic codes over \gf(p) whose duals have two zeros is
presented, where is an odd prime. The weight distribution of this class of
cyclic codes is settled. Some of the cyclic codes are optimal. The duals of a
subclass of the cyclic codes are also studied and proved to be optimal.Comment: 11 Page
Weight distribution of two classes of cyclic codes with respect to two distinct order elements
Cyclic codes are an interesting type of linear codes and have wide
applications in communication and storage systems due to their efficient
encoding and decoding algorithms. Cyclic codes have been studied for many
years, but their weight distribution are known only for a few cases. In this
paper, let be an extension of a finite field and ,
we determine the weight distribution of the cyclic codes c(a, b)=(\mbox {Tr}_{r/q}(ag_1^0+bg_2^0), \ldots, \mbox
{Tr}_{r/q}(ag_1^{n-1}+bg_2^{n-1})), g_1, g_2\in \Bbb F_r, in the following
two cases: (1) \ord(g_1)=n, n|r-1 and ; (2) \ord(g_1)=n,
, \ord(g_2)=\frac n 2, and
The Weight Enumerator of Three Families of Cyclic Codes
Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have wide applications in
consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems due to
their efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. Cyclic codes with many zeros
and their dual codes have been a subject of study for many years. However,
their weight distributions are known only for a very small number of cases. In
general the calculation of the weight distribution of cyclic codes is heavily
based on the evaluation of some exponential sums over finite fields. Very
recently, Li, Hu, Feng and Ge studied a class of -ary cyclic codes of length
, where is a prime and is odd. They determined the weight
distribution of this class of cyclic codes by establishing a connection between
the involved exponential sums with the spectrum of Hermitian forms graphs. In
this paper, this class of -ary cyclic codes is generalized and the weight
distribution of the generalized cyclic codes is settled for both even and
odd alone with the idea of Li, Hu, Feng, and Ge. The weight distributions
of two related families of cyclic codes are also determined.Comment: 13 Pages, 3 Table
