The Dynamics of Group Codes: Dual Abelian Group Codes and Systems
Fundamental results concerning the dynamics of abelian group codes
(behaviors) and their duals are developed. Duals of sequence spaces over
locally compact abelian groups may be defined via Pontryagin duality; dual
group codes are orthogonal subgroups of dual sequence spaces. The dual of a
complete code or system is finite, and the dual of a Laurent code or system is
(anti-)Laurent. If C and C^\perp are dual codes, then the state spaces of C act
as the character groups of the state spaces of C^\perp. The controllability
properties of C are the observability properties of C^\perp. In particular, C
is (strongly) controllable if and only if C^\perp is (strongly) observable, and
the controller memory of C is the observer memory of C^\perp. The controller
granules of C act as the character groups of the observer granules of C^\perp.
Examples of minimal observer-form encoder and syndrome-former constructions are
given. Finally, every observer granule of C is an "end-around" controller
granule of C.Comment: 30 pages, 11 figures. To appear in IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, 200
Entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes over arbitrary finite fields
We prove that the known formulae for computing the optimal number of maximally entangled pairs required for entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes (EAQECCs) over the binary field hold for codes over arbitrary finite fields as well. We also give a Gilbert-Varshamov bound for EAQECCs and constructions of EAQECCs coming from punctured self-orthogonal linear codes which are valid for any finite field.Supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy/FEDER: grants MTM2015-65764-C3-1-P, MTM2015-65764-C3-2-P, MTM2015-69138-REDT and RYC-2016-20208 (AEI/FSE/UE), the University Jaume I: grant UJI-B2018-10, Spanish Junta de CyL: grant VA166G18, and JSPS Grant No. 17K06419
Stabilizer quantum codes from -affine variety codes and a new Steane-like enlargement
New stabilizer codes with parameters better than the ones available in the
literature are provided in this work, in particular quantum codes with
parameters and that are records.
These codes are constructed with a new generalization of the Steane's
enlargement procedure and by considering orthogonal subfield-subcodes --with
respect to the Euclidean and Hermitian inner product-- of a new family of
linear codes, the -affine variety codes
Construction of isodual codes from polycirculant matrices
Double polycirculant codes are introduced here as a generalization of double
circulant codes. When the matrix of the polyshift is a companion matrix of a
trinomial, we show that such a code is isodual, hence formally self-dual.
Numerical examples show that the codes constructed have optimal or
quasi-optimal parameters amongst formally self-dual codes. Self-duality, the
trivial case of isoduality, can only occur over \F_2 in the double circulant
case. Building on an explicit infinite sequence of irreducible trinomials over
\F_2, we show that binary double polycirculant codes are asymptotically good
