Cyclic Codes over a Commutative Non-Unital Ring
Abstract
This paper investigates cyclic codes over the commutative non-unital ring π = β¨ a, B | 2a = 2B = 0, a2 = B, ab = 0 β©, a ring of order four and characteristic two. We develop a structural description of linear and cyclic codes over π, analyze their residue and torsion codes, and characterize self-dual codes. A Gray map from πn to π½2n is introduced and shown to transform cyclic codes into binary quasi-cyclic codes of index two. Numerical examples for lengths 2 β€ n β€ 7 illustrate the diversity of cyclic codes over π and highlight their potential applications.
