Reversible Codes and Its Application to Reversible DNA Codes over $F_{4^k}$ (1806.04367v1)

Abstract: Coterm polynomials are introduced by Oztas et al. [a novel approach for constructing reversible codes and applications to DNA codes over the ring $F_2[u]/(u^{2k}-1)$, Finite Fields and Their Applications 46 (2017).pp. 217-234.], which generate reversible codes. In this paper, we generalize the coterm polynomials and construct some reversible codes which are optimal codes by using $m$-quasi-reciprocal polynomials. Moreover, we give a map from DNA $k$-bases to the elements of $F_{4^k}$, and construct reversible DNA codes over $F_{4^k}$ by DNA-$m$-quasi-reciprocal polynomials.
