Abstract

Using tensor product constructions for the first-order generalized Reed-Muller codes, we extend the well-established concept of the Gray isometry between (Z4, δL) and (Z2 2, δH) to the context of finite chain rings. Our approach covers previous results by Carlet (see ibid., vol.44, p.1543-7, 1998), Constantinescu (see Probl. Pered. Inform., vol.33, no.3, p.22-8, 1997 and Ph.D. dissertation, Tech. Univ. Munchen, Munchen, Germany, 1995), Nechaev et al. (see Proc. IEEE Int. Symp. Information Theory and its Applications, p.31-4, 1996) and overlaps with Heise et al. (see Proc. ACCT 6, Pskov, Russia, p.123-9, 1998) and Honold et al. (see Proc. ACCT 6, Pskov, Russia, p.135-41, 1998). Applying the Gray isometry on Z9 we obtain a previously unknown nonlinear ternary (36, 312, 15) code
