The structure of duals of cyclic codes over \(\mathbb F_2+u\mathbb F_2+v\mathbb F_2+uv\mathbb F_2\) and some DNA codes (Q2363735)

Summary: In this paper, we study the structure of duals of cyclic codes over the ring \(R = \mathbb F_2+u\mathbb F_2+v\mathbb F_2+uv\mathbb F_2\), \(u^2=v^2=0\), \(uv=vu\). We determine a unique set of generators for these codes. We also determine a minimal spanning set for a class of cyclic codes of odd length over \(R\). A sufficient condition for a cyclic code of odd length over \(R\) to contain its dual is presented. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a cyclic code of odd lengths over \(R\) to be reversible complement. Further, we construct DNA codes as images of reversible complement cyclic codes of odd length over \(R\).
