On Linear Codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4+v\mathbb{Z}_4$
arXiv:1402.6771
Abstract
Linear codes are considered over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_4+v\mathbb{Z}_4$, where $v^2=v$. Gray weight, Gray maps for linear codes are defined and MacWilliams identity for the Gray weight enumerator is given. Self-dual codes, construction of Euclidean isodual codes, unimodular complex lattices, MDS codes and MGDS codes over $\mathbb{Z}_4+v\mathbb{Z}_4$ are studied. Cyclic codes and quadratic residue codes are also considered. Finally, some examples for illustrating the main work are given.
