The structure of 1-generator quasi-twisted codes and new linear codes (Q5960286)

A quasi-twisted code is a linear code that is closed under a map of the form \((c_0,\ldots ,c_{n-1})\rightarrow (ac_{0-L} ,\ldots , ac_{(L-1)-L}, c_{L-1}, \ldots ,c_{n-L-1})\), where \(a\in\mathbb F_q^{\times}\). This paper studies BCH and Varshamov bounds, generators, distance, and gives specific examples.
