Structure and performance of generalized quasi-cyclic codes

Generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes form a wide and useful class of linear codes that includes thoroughly quasi-cyclic codes, finite geometry (FG) low density parity check (LDPC) codes, and Hermitian codes. Although it is known that the systematic encoding of GQC codes is equivalent to the division algorithm in the theory of Grobner basis of modules, there has been no algorithm that computes Grobner basis for all types of GQC codes. In this paper, we propose two algorithms to compute Grobner basis for GQC codes from their parity check matrices: echelon canonical form algorithm and transpose algorithm. Both algorithms require sufficiently small number of finite-field operations with the order of the third power of code-length. Each algorithm has its own characteristic; the first algorithm is composed of elementary methods, and the second algorithm is based on a novel formula and is faster than the first one for high-rate codes. Moreover, we show that a serial-in serial-out encoder architecture for FG LDPC codes is composed of linear feedback shift registers with the size of the linear order of code-length; to encode a binary codeword of length n, it takes less than 2n adder and 2n memory elements. Keywords: automorphism group, Buchberger's algorithm, division algorithm, circulant matrix, finite geometry low density parity check (LDPC) codes.

Introduction. The problem of mathematical safe arises in the theory of computer games and cryptographic applications. The article considers numerous variations of the mathematical safe problem and examples of its solution using systems of linear Diophantine equations in finite rings and fields. The purpose of the article. To present methods for solving the problem of a mathematical safe for its various variations, which are related both to the domain over which the problem is considered and to the structure of systems of linear equations over these domains. To consider the problem of a mathematical safe (in matrix and graph forms) in different variations over different finite domains and to demonstrate the work of methods for solving this problem and their efficiency (systems over finite simple fields, finite fields, ghost rings and finite associative-commutative rings). Results. Examples of solving the problem of a mathematical safe, the conditions for the existence of solutions in different areas, over which this problem is considered. The choice of the appropriate area over which the problem of the mathematical safe is considered, and the appropriate algorithm for solving it depends on the number of positions of the latches of the safe. All these algorithms are accompanied by estimates of their time complexity, which were considered in the first part of this paper. Conclusions. The considered methods and algorithms for solving linear equations and systems of linear equations in finite rings and fields allow to solve the problem of a mathematical safe in a large number of variations of its formulation (over finite prime field, finite field, primary associative-commutative ring and finite associative-commutative ring with unit). Keywords: mathematical safe, finite rings, finite fields, method, algorithm.

Linear dynamical systems over finite rings

Let $$q$$ be a power of a prime integer $$p, m=p^em_0$$ and $$|q|_{m_{0}}$$ the order of $$q$$ modulo $$m_0$$ . By use of finite commutative chain ring theory, an algorithm to construct all distinct 1-generator quasi-cyclic codes with a fixed parity check polynomial over a finite field $$F_q$$ of length $$mn$$ and index $$n$$ , under the condition that $$\mathrm {gcd}(|q|_{m_0},n)=1$$ , are given.

Circulant matrices form an important class of matrices that have been continuously studied due to their nice algebraic structures and wide applications. In this study, we focus specifically on negacirculant matrices, which are known as extensions of the classical circulant matrices. The algebraic structures of the rings of n × n n\times n negacirculant matrices over finite fields and over finite commutative chain rings are presented. Subsequently, the algebraic structures and enumeration of the unit groups of such matrix rings are established. Additionally, the number of non-singular n × n n\times n negacirculant matrices with prescribed determinant is given in some cases. Conjectures and open problems are proposed as well as a brief discussion in the case where the underlying ring is a finite commutative ring with identity is also presented.

In this paper, we study no 4-cycle, high-rate LDPC codes based on finite geometries for use in data storage devices and prove that these codes cannot be classified as quasi-cyclic (QC) codes but should be considered as broader generalized quasi-cyclic (GQC) codes. Because of the GQC structure of such codes, they can be systematically encoded using Groebner bases and their encoder can be implemented using simple feedback-shift registers. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the encoder, we show that the hardware complexity of the serial-in serial-out encoder architecture of these codes is of linear order O(n). To encode a binary codeword of length n, less than 2n adders and 3n memory elements are required. Furthermore, we evaluated the error performances of these codes with sum product algorithm (SPA) decoding over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. At a bit error rate (BER) of 10^-5, they perform 1-dB away from the Shannon limit after 10 decoding iterations.

Given a finite (associative, unital) ring R, let K(R) denote the set of polynomials in R[x] that send each element of R to 0 under evaluation. We study K(R) and its elements. We conjecture that K(R) is a two-sided ideal of R[x] for any finite ring R, and prove the conjecture for several classes of finite rings (including commutative rings, semisimple rings, local rings, and all finite rings of odd order). We also examine a connection to sets of integer-valued polynomials.

2 - Galois Fields

Let F q \mathbb {F}_q denote the finite field of characteristic p p and order q q . Let Z q \mathbb {Z}_q denote the unramified extension of the p p -adic rational integers Z p \mathbb {Z}_p with residue field F q \mathbb {F}_q . Given two positive integers m , n m,n , define a box B m \mathcal B_m to be a subset of Z q n \mathbb {Z}_q^n with q n m q^{nm} elements such that B m \mathcal B_m modulo p m p^m is equal to ( Z q / p m Z q ) n (\mathbb {Z}_q/p^m \mathbb {Z}_q)^n . For a collection of nonconstant polynomials f 1 , … , f s ∈ Z q [ x 1 , … , x n ] f_1,\dots ,f_s\in \mathbb {Z}_q[x_1,\ldots ,x_n] and positive integers m 1 , … , m s m_1,\dots ,m_s , define the set of common zeros inside the box B m \mathcal B_m to be V = { X ∈ B m : f i ( X ) ≡ 0 mod p m i for all 1 ≤ i ≤ s } . \begin{equation*} V=\{X\in \mathcal B_m:\; f_i(X)\equiv 0\mod {p^{m_i}}\text { for all } 1\leq i\leq s\}. \end{equation*} It is an interesting problem to give the sharp estimates for the p p -divisibility of | V | |V| . This problem has been partially solved for the three cases: (i) m = m 1 = ⋯ = m s = 1 m=m_1=\cdots =m_s=1 , which is just the Ax-Katz theorem, (ii) m = m 1 = ⋯ = m s > 1 m=m_1=\cdots =m_s>1 , which was solved by Katz [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 137 (2009), pp. 4065–4075; Amer. J. Math. 93 (1971), pp. 485–499], Marshal and Ramage [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 49 (1975), pp. 35–38], and (iii) m = 1 m=1 , and m 1 , … , m s ≥ 1 m_1,\dots ,m_s\geq 1 , which was recently solved by Cao, Wan [Finite Fields Appl. 91 (2023), p. 25] and Grynkiewicz [ A generalization of the Chevalley-Warning and Ax-Katz theorems with a view towards combinatorial number theory , Preprint, arXiv: 2208.12895 , 2022]. Based on the multi-fold addition and multiplication of the finite Witt rings over F q \mathbb {F}_q , we investigate the remaining unconsidered case of m > 1 m>1 and m ≠ m j m\neq m_j for some 1 ≤ j ≤ s 1\leq j\leq s , and finally provide a complete answer to this problem.

The state-of-art CDMM schemes, such as EP codes for Single DMM and GCSA codes for batch DMM, are defined over a Galois field GF(<italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">q</i>) of size <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">q</i> ≥ <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">N</i>.

We first give a general CDMM framework for the batch of <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</i> matrix multiplications via the famous RMFE (Cascudo et al.

Compared with GCSA, our construction has a smaller recovery threshold by a factor of 1/<italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">n</i>. Next, we optimize EP codes via batch preprocessing of the input matrices. We give two types of Single CDMM, which can achieve almost the same performance as EP codes over a Galois field with size <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">q</i> ≥ <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">N</i>. Finally, we present the experimental analysis of our CDMM on Galois rings.

Let k be a positive integer that is relatively prime to the order of the Weyl group of a semisimple complex Lie algebra g. We find the cardinality of the value sets of the folding polynomials P-g(k)(x) is an element of Z[x] of arbitrary rank n &gt;= 1, over finite fields. We achieve this by using a characterization of their fixed points in terms of exponential sums.

On the ℓ-DLIPs of codes over finite commutative rings

A variety of Lie rings is called just-non-Cross if it itself is not Cross, but each of its proper subvarieties is Cross, i.e. is generated by a finite ring. In this paper, we completely describe the solvable just-non-Cross varieties both of Lie rings and of Lie R-algebras where R is a finite commutative ring with identity and, in particular, where R is a finite field. We find algorithms which allow us to determine whether a given identity defines a Cross variety of Lie algebras; also, using the multiplication and addition tables of a finite Lie algebra, we find algorithms for extracting its identities.Bibliography: 10 titles.
