Title: "Duadic Codes"

By

Mr. Kwan Wa TSUI


Abstract

The class of duadic codes is one of the subclasses of cyclic codes. It was 
introduced by Pless et al. [4]. The class of quadratic residue codes is a 
special case of duadic codes. Duadic codes are generalized from quadratic 
residue codes. Duadic codes are studied extensively and many properties of 
duadic codes are figured out. Duadic codes can be used as error-correcting 
codes. We give a summary of properties of duadic codes in the thesis. We 
also quote some results on duadic codes. We construct a subclass of duadic 
codes and study the properties of the minimum distance of this subclass of 
duadic codes. We propose a conjecture by doing a lot of experiments.
