Linear codes over F4R and their MacWilliams identity

Let 4 be the field of four elements. We denote by R the commutative ring, with 16 elements, 4 v4:= {a vb|a,b 4} with v2 = v. This work defines linear codes over the ring of mixed alphabets 4R as well as their dual codes under a nondegenerate inner product. We then derive the systematic form of the r...

Description
Summary:Let 4 be the field of four elements. We denote by R the commutative ring, with 16 elements, 4 v4:= {a vb|a,b 4} with v2 = v. This work defines linear codes over the ring of mixed alphabets 4R as well as their dual codes under a nondegenerate inner product. We then derive the systematic form of the respective generator matrices of the codes and their dual codes. We wrap the paper up by proving the MacWilliams identity for linear codes over 4R.
