Abstract

Let Fr be an extension of a finite field Fq with r=qm. Let each gi be of order ni in r* and gcd(ni,nj)=1 for 1≤i≠j≤u. We define a cyclic code over Fq byC(q,m, n1,n2,.,nu)={C(a1, a2,.,au):a1,a2,.,a uFr}, whereC(a1,a2,., au)=(Trr/q(Σi=1uaigi0),.,Trr/ q(Σi=1uaigin-1)) and n=n1 n2nu. In this paper, we present a method to compute the weights of C(q,m,n1,n2,.,nu). Further, we determine the weight distributions of the cyclic codes C(q,m, n1,n2) and C(q,m,n1,n2,1).
