Abstract

We characterise minimal strong Grobner bases of R[x], where R is a commutative principal ideal ring and deduce a structure theorem for cyclic codes of arbitrary length over R. When R is an Artinian chain ring with residue field R@? and gcd(char(R@?),n)=1, we recover a theorem for cyclic codes of length n over R due to Calderbank and Sloane for R=Z/p^kZ.
