We study the Plotkin bound for codes over a finite Frobenius ring R equipped with the homogeneous weight. We show that for codes meeting the Plotkin bound, the distribution on R induced by projection onto a coordinate has an interesting property. We present several constructions of codes meeting the Plotkin bound and of Plotkin-optimal codes. We also investigate the relationship between Butson–Hadamard matrices and codes over R meeting the Plotkin bound.

As interactions among genetic variants in different genes can be an important factor for predicting complex diseases, many computational methods have been proposed to detect if a particular set of genes has interaction with a particular complex disease. However, even though many such methods have been shown to be useful, they can be made more effective if the properties of gene–gene interactions can be better understood. Towards this goal, we have attempted to uncover patterns in gene–gene interactions and the patterns reveal an interesting property that can be reflected in an inequality that describes the relationship between two genotype variables and a disease-status variable. We show, in this paper, that this inequality can be generalized to [Formula: see text] genotype variables. Based on this inequality, we establish a conditional independence and redundancy (CIR)-based definition of gene–gene interaction and the concept of an interaction group. From these new definitions, a novel measure of gene–gene interaction is then derived. We discuss the properties of these concepts and explain how they can be used in a novel algorithm to detect high-order gene–gene interactions. Experimental results using both simulated and real datasets show that the proposed method can be very promising.

The theory of linear codes over finite fields has been extended by A. Nechaev to codes over quasi-Frobenius modules over commutative rings, and by J. Wood to codes over (not necessarily commutative) finite Frobenius rings. In the present paper, we subsume these results by studying linear codes over quasi-Frobenius and Frobenius modules over any finite ring. Using the character module of the ring as alphabet, we show that fundamental results like MacWilliams' theorems on weight enumerators and code isometry can be obtained in this general setting.

Using theoretical results about the homogeneous weights for Frobenius rings, we describe the homogeneous weight for the ring family Rk, a recently introduced family of Frobenius rings which have been used extensively in coding theory. We find an associated Gray map for the homogeneous weight using first order Reed-Muller codes and we describe some of the general properties of the images of codes over Rk under this Gray map. We then discuss quasi-twisted codes over Rk and their binary images under the homogeneous Gray map. In this way, we find many optimal binary codes which are self-orthogonal and quasi-cyclic. In particular, we find a substantial number of optimal binary codes that are quasi-cyclic of index 8, 16 and 24, nearly all of which are new additions to the database of quasi-cyclic codes kept by Chen.
