Description
A linear code encoding \(K\) states (codewords) in \(n\) coordinates over the ring \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) of integers modulo 4.Cousins
- Melas code— The even-weight subcode of the Melas code can be lifted to a code over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) [2].
- Hergert code— Hergert codes can be seen, via the Gray map, as linear codes over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) [3,4].
- Delsarte-Goethals (DG) code— DG codes can be seen, via the Gray map, as extended linear cyclic codes over \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) [3,4].
