CYCLIC CODES THROUGH B[X], $B[X;\frac{1}{kp}Z_{0}]$ AND $B[X;\frac{1}{p^{k}}Z_{0}]$: A COMPARISON

It is very well known that algebraic structures have valuable applications in the theory of error-correcting codes. Blake [Codes over certain rings, Inform. and Control 20 (1972) 396–404] has constructed cyclic codes over ℤm and in [Codes over integer residue rings, Inform. and Control 29 (1975), 295–300] derived parity check-matrices for these codes. In [Linear codes over finite rings, Tend. Math. Appl. Comput. 6(2) (2005) 207–217]. Andrade and Palazzo present a construction technique of cyclic, BCH, alternant, Goppa and Srivastava codes over a local finite ring B. However, in [Encoding through generalized polynomial codes, Comput. Appl. Math. 30(2) (2011) 1–18] and [Constructions of codes through semigroup ring [Formula: see text] and encoding, Comput. Math. Appl. 62 (2011) 1645–1654], Shah et al. extend this technique of constructing linear codes over a finite local ring B via monoid rings [Formula: see text], where p = 2 and k = 1, 2, respectively, instead of the polynomial ring B[X]. In this paper, we construct these codes through the monoid ring [Formula: see text], where p = 2 and k = 1, 2, 3. Moreover, we also strengthen and generalize the results of [Encoding through generalized polynomial codes, Comput. Appl. Math.30(2) (2011) 1–18] and [Constructions of codes through semigroup ring [Formula: see text]] and [Encoding, Comput. Math. Appl.62 (2011) 1645–1654] to the case of k = 3.
