Abstract: | For R a Galois ring and m
1, . . . , m
l
positive integers, a generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) code over R of block lengths (m
1, m
2, . . . , m
l
) and length ?i=1lmi{\sum_{i=1}^lm_i} is an Rx]-submodule of Rx]/(xm1-1)×?×Rx]/(xml-1){Rx]/(x^{m_1}-1)\times\cdots \times Rx]/(x^{m_l}-1)}. Suppose m
1, . . . , m
l
are all coprime to the characteristic of R and let {g
1, . . . , g
t
} be the set of all monic basic irreducible polynomials in the factorizations of xmi-1{x^{m_i}-1} (1 ≤ i ≤ l). Then the GQC codes over R of block lengths (m
1, m
2, . . . , m
l
) and length ?i=1lmi{\sum_{i=1}^lm_i} are identified with G1×?×Gt{{\mathcal G}_1\times\cdots\times {\mathcal G}_t}, where Gj{{\mathcal G}_j} is an Rx]/(g
j
)-submodule of (Rx]/(gj))nj{(Rx]/(g_j))^{n_j}}, where n
j
is the number of i for which g
j
appears in the factorization of xmi-1{x^{m_i}-1} into monic basic irreducible polynomials. This identification then leads to an enumeration of such GQC codes. An analogous
result is also obtained for the 1-generator GQC codes. A notion of a parity-check polynomial is given when R is a finite field, and the number of GQC codes with a given parity-check polynomial is determined. Finally, an algorithm
is given to compute the number of GQC codes of given block lengths. |
