A class of constacyclic codes are generalized Reed-Solomon codes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Maximum distance separable (MDS) codes are optimal in the sense that the minimum distance cannot be improved for a given length and code size. The most prominent MDS codes are generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes. The square mathcalC2 of a linear code mathcalC is the linear code spanned by the component-wise products of every pair of codewords in mathcalC. For an MDS code mathcalC, it is convenient to determine whether mathcalC is a GRS code by determining the dimension of mathcalC2. In this paper, we investigate under what conditions that MDS constacyclic codes are GRS. For this purpose, we first study the square of constacyclic codes. Then, we give a sufficient condition that a constacyclic code is GRS. In particular, We provide a necessary and sufficient condition that a constacyclic code of a prime length is GRS.
