Abstract

Recently there has been a lot of interest on algebraic codes in the setting of skew polynomial rings. In this paper we have studied skew quasi-cyclic (QC) codes over Galois rings. We have given a necessary and sufficient condition for skew cyclic codes over Galois rings to be free, and determined a distance bound for free skew cyclic codes. A sufficient condition for 1-generator skew QC codes to be free is determined. Some distance bounds for free 1-generator skew QC codes are discussed. A canonical decomposition of skew QC codes is presented.
