Abstract

We introduce linear cyclic codes over the ring F/sub 2/+uF/sub 2/={0,1,u,u~=u+1}, where u/sup 2/=0 and study them by analogy with the Z/sub 4/ case. We give the structure of these codes on this new alphabet. Self-dual codes of odd length exist as in the case of Z/sub 4/-codes. Unlike the Z/sub 4/ case, here free codes are not interesting. Some nonfree codes give rise to optimal binary linear codes and extremal self-dual codes through a linear Gray map.
