On cyclic codes over finite chain rings

Abstract

Recent studies involve various approaches to establish a generating set for cyclic codes of arbitrary length over the class of Galois rings. One such approach involves the use of polynomials with minimal degree corresponding to specific subsets of the code, defined progressively. In this paper, we extend this approach to obtain a set of generators of cyclic codes over finite chain rings. Further, we observe that this set acts as a minimal strong Gröbner basis(MSGB) for the code.
