Binary LCD Codes from $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_2[u]$ (1903.11380v1)
Published 26 Mar 2019 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: Linear complementary dual (LCD) codes over finite fields are linear codes satisfying $C\cap C{\perp}={0}$. We generalize the LCD codes over finite fields to $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_2[u]$-LCD codes over the ring $\mathbf{Z}_2\times(\mathbf{Z}_2+u\mathbf{Z}_2)$. Under suitable conditions, $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_2[u]$-linear codes that are $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_2[u]$-LCD codes are characterized. We then prove that the binary image of a $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_2[u]$-LCD code is a binary LCD code. Finally, by means of these conditions, we construct new binary LCD codes using $\mathbb{Z}_2\mathbb{Z}_2[u]$-LCD codes, most of which have better parameters than current binary LCD codes available.
