Main Results • Computer construction of quasi-twisted 2-weight codes • Many 2-weight codes can be constructed as quasi-twisted (QT) codes. • Some new QT 2-weigth codes are obtained.
Outline • Two-weight codes and graphs • Cyclic codes • Quasi-twisted (QT) codes • QT simplex codes • Construction of QT two-weight codes • Results
Two-Weight Codes • A q-ary [n, k] code is a two-weight code if any non-zero codeword has a weight of w1 or w2. • Notation: [n, k; w1, w2]q code • Projective code • A code is said to be projectiveif any two of its coordinates are linearly independent, or, if the minimum distance of its dual code is at least three.
Strongly Regular Graphs • A graph with v vertices and degree k is strongly regular if there are also integers λ and μ such that: • Every two adjacent vertices have λ common neighbours. • Every two non-adjacent vertices have μ common neighbours. • A graph of this kind is sometimes said to be an srg(v,k,λ,μ). • Projective two-weight codes are closely related to strongly regular graphs.
Cyclic Codes • q-ary linear [n, k]q code: • n: block length • k: code dimension • Cyclic [n, k]q code: • Any codeword shifted by 1 position is still a codeword • generator polynomial g(x) • Generator matrix G • A cyclic matrix
λ-Consta-Cyclic Codes • for any codeword (a0, a1, ..., an-1), a consta-cyclic shift by one position or (λ an-1, a1, ..., an-2), is also a codeword • Where λ is non-zero element of GF(q) • The generator matrix of an λ-consta-cyclic code can be an λ-consta-cyclic matrix • A cyclic code is an λ-consta-cyclic code with λ = 1
Quasi-Twisted (QT) Codes • a consta-cyclic shift of any codeword by ppositions is still a codeword. • The generator matrix of a QT code can be written as rows of p consta-cyclic matrices (twistulant matrices) • a consta-cyclic code is a QT code with p = 1, • a quasi-cyclic (QC) code is a QT code with λ= 1
Simplex Codes • Simplex [(qt–1)/(q–1), t]q code • equi-distance code, d = qt-1 • All non-zero codewords have the same weight, d = qt-1 • A λ-consta-cyclic simplex code can be defined by a generator polynomial g(x) = (xn–l)/h(x), • where n=(qt–1) /(q–1), and λ is a non-zero element of GF(q) and has order of q–1
QT Simplex Codes • If n=(qt–1) /(q–1) = mr, Simplex [(qt–1)/(q–1), t]q code can be put into QT from. • Example:simplex [21, 3]4 code • n = 21 = mp = 3 × 7, m = 3, p = r, q = 4. • Let 0, 1, a, and b = 1 + a be elements of GF(4), • λ=b. Then a λ-consta-cyclic matrix defined by c(x) = 1+ bx + bx3 + bx4 + bx5 + ax6 +x7 + x8 + ax9 + x10 + ax11 + x13 +ax15 +bx16 +x17 + x18.

Weight Matrix • Weight matrix for A(x) • It is cyclic • Example
Computer Construction of QT 2-Weight Codes • Given a simplex [mr, t]q code of composite length • n =(qt–1) /(q–1) = mr • Find the generator polynomial, • Obtain A(x) and weight matrix • To construct a QT 2-weight [mp, t; w1, w2] code, it is to find p columns such that the row sums of the selected columns give w1 or w2.
Computer Construction of QT 2-Weight Codes • Example • From simplex [21, 3]4 code with m=3 • A QT 2-weight [9, 3; 6, 8]4 code can be constructed by columns 1, 2, and 4.
Results • A large amount of QT 2-weight codes have been obtained. • Most codes have the same parameters as known codes. • They may not be equivalent • Exmaple [154, 6; 99, 108]3 code • Gulliver constructed with m = 11, p =14 • Using the method above, m = 7, p =22 • They are not equivalent • Some new codes are obtained
Some New Codes • Ternary QT 2-weight codes • m = 671, k = 10 • [6710, 10; 4455, 4536] code • [8052, 10; 5346, 5427] code • m = 3796, k = 12 • [7592, 12; 5022, 5103] code • m = 7592, k = 12 • [129064, 12; 86022, 86751] code • Other codes • [595, 4; 546, 559]13 code • [1785, 4; 1638, 1651]13 code
