Abstract

For any \((1+u^2)\)-constacyclic code C with arbitrary length N over \(\mathbb {F}_2[u]/\langle u^3\rangle \), we construct a new map \(\Phi \) from \((\mathbb {F}_2[u]/\langle u^3\rangle )^{N}\) to \((\mathbb {F}_2[v]/\langle v^2\rangle )^{2N}\), and derive \(\Phi (C)\) by applying the map to each codeword of C. We find that C and its image \(\Phi (C)\) have the same homogeneous distance, and the cyclic shift of any codeword of \(\Phi (C)\) is still contained in \(\Phi (C)\) over \(\mathbb {F}_2[v]/\langle v^2\rangle \), but \(\Phi (C)\) is not a cyclic code in some cases. These properties help us to determine the lower bound and the upper bound for the homogeneous distance of C by discussing the same problem of \(\Phi (C)\). With these bounds, exact homogeneous distances of some \((1+u^2)\)-constacyclic codes are given. On the other hand, we consider the application of homogeneous distances in computing Hamming distances of a class of binary linear quasi-cyclic codes, and derive some optimal binary linear quasi-cyclic codes.
