Abstract
Negacyclic BCH codes form an important subclass of negacyclic codes and can produce optimal linear codes in many cases. The question of whether the dual code of a negacyclic BCH code is a negacyclic BCH code is, in general, very hard to answer. To investigate further the properties of the dual codes of negacyclic BCH codes, the concept of negacyclic dually-BCH codes is proposed in this paper and then the dual codes of narrow-sense negacyclic BCH codes of length over the finite field are studied, where . Some lower bounds on the minimum distances of the dual codes are established, which are very close to the true minimum distances of the dual codes in many cases. Sufficient and necessary conditions in terms of designed distances are presented to ensure that narrow-sense negacyclic BCH codes of length are negacyclic dually-BCH codes.
期刊介绍:
Discrete Mathematics provides a common forum for significant research in many areas of discrete mathematics and combinatorics. Among the fields covered by Discrete Mathematics are graph and hypergraph theory, enumeration, coding theory, block designs, the combinatorics of partially ordered sets, extremal set theory, matroid theory, algebraic combinatorics, discrete geometry, matrices, and discrete probability theory.
Items in the journal include research articles (Contributions or Notes, depending on length) and survey/expository articles (Perspectives). Efforts are made to process the submission of Notes (short articles) quickly. The Perspectives section features expository articles accessible to a broad audience that cast new light or present unifying points of view on well-known or insufficiently-known topics.
