Abstract

In this paper, we first discuss linear codes over R and present the decomposition structure of linear codes over the mixed alphabet FqR, where R= Fq+ uFq+ vFq+ uvFq, with u2 = 1,v2 = 1, uv = vu and q = pm for odd prime p, positive integer m. Let (Formula presented.) be an automorphism on Fq. Extending (Formula presented.) to (Formula presented.) over R, we study skew (Formula presented.)-(λ,Γ)-constacyclic codes over FqR, where λ and Γ are units in Fq and R, respectively. We also show that, the dual of a skew (Formula presented.)-(λ,Γ)-constacyclic code over FqR is a skew (Formula presented.)-(λ− 1− 1)-constacyclic code over FqR. We classify some self-dual skew (Formula presented.)-(λ,Γ)-constacyclic codes using the possible values of units of R. Also using suitable values of λ,(Formula presented.),Γ and (Formula presented.), we present the structure of other linear codes over FqR. We construct a Gray map over FqR and study the Gray images of skew (Formula presented.)-(λ,Γ)-constacyclic codes over FqR. As applications of our study, we construct many good codes, among them, there are 17 optimal codes and 2 near-optimal codes. Finally, we discuss the advantages in a construction of quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) from skew (Formula presented.)-cyclic codes than from cyclic codes over Fq.
