Linear codes and rings of matrices

From MaRDI portal





The authors investigate linear codes over matrix rings. Beginning with a ring \(K\) and the set of all \(m\times m\) matrices \(S\) over \(K\), they establish a one-to-one correspondence between linear codes of length \(mn\) over \(K\) and those of length \(n\) over \(S\) via a semilinear embedding of the former as their \(m\)-fold concatenations into the latter (Theorem 1). After a closer study of code correspondences induced by ring embeddings, the authors discuss matrix representations of algebras. Illustrative examples conclude the paper; for instance, they show how the extended Hamming code is induced by an \(\mathbb{F}_4\)-linear code. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0929.00091].
