Linear Codes over π½q+uπ½q associated with Simplicial Complexes, Their Gray Images, and Subfield Codes
Abstract
In recent years, simplicial complexes have gained considerable attention as a useful tool for constructing distance-optimal codes over finite fields. In this article, we construct four infinite families of linear codes over the ring β=π½q+uπ½q with u2=0 using simplicial complexes with one or two maximal elements, and completely determine their Lee weight distributions via exponential-sum techniques. By employing a Gray map on β, we obtain infinite families of distance-optimal codes over π½q, including a near-Griesmer family, and establish sufficient conditions for their minimality. Furthermore, we investigate the corresponding subfield codes and derive sufficient conditions for their distance-optimality and minimality, yielding infinite families of Griesmer and near-Griesmer codes.
