Abstract

Irreducible cyclic codes have been an interesting subject of study for a long time. Their weight distribution is known in only a few cases. In this paper, the weight distribution of the irreducible cyclic codes in a number of other cases is determined. The number of nonzero weights in the codes dealt with in this paper varies between one and four.
