Let 𝔽q be a finite field with q elements. For a non zero element λ in 𝔽q , we consider λ-constacyclic codes of length N over 𝔽q , where characteristic of 𝔽q does not divide N. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions when a λ-constacyclic codes of length N over 𝔽q has generator polynomial of the form (xn − β), β in 𝔽q . We explicitly determine the weight distribution of such λ-constacyclic codes directly from their generator polynomials.

Abstract


Let 𝔽q be a finite field with q elements. For a non zero element λ in 𝔽q , we consider λ-constacyclic codes of length N over 𝔽q , where characteristic of 𝔽q does not divide N. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions when a λ-constacyclic codes of length N over 𝔽q has generator polynomial of the form (xn − β), β in 𝔽q . We explicitly determine the weight distribution of such λ-constacyclic codes directly from their generator polynomials.
