On polycyclic linear and additive codes associated to a trinomial over a finite chain ring

Abdelghaffar Chibloun, Hassan Ou-azzou, Edgar Martínez-Moro, Mustapha Najmeddine

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate polycyclic codes associated with a trinomial of arbitrary degree $n$ over a finite chain ring $ R.$ We extend the concepts of $ n $-isometry and $ n $-equivalence known for constacyclic codes to this class of codes, providing a broader framework for their structural analysis. We describe the classes of $n$-equivalence and compute their number, significantly reducing the study of trinomial codes over $R$. Additionally, we examine the special case of trinomials of the form $ x^n - a_1x - a_0 \in R[x] $ and analyze their implications. Finally, we consider the extension of our results to certain trinomial additive codes over $ R.$

Key Result

Theorem 1

(mcdonald1974finite) A finite chain ring $R$ with invariants $(p,m,r,e,t)$, is of the form where $g(u) \in \mathrm{GR}(p^{m},r)[u]$ is an Eisenstein polynomial of degree $e$, i.e. $g(u)=u^{e}-p(a_{e-1}u^{e-1}+\ldots+a_{0})$, with $a_{0}\in \mathrm{GR}(p^{m},r)^{\times}$, the set of units of $\mathrm{GR}(p^{m},r)$.
