Z2Z4-Linear Codes

Borges, Joaquim / Fernández-Córdoba, Cristina / Villanueva, Mercè / Rifà, Josep / Pujol, Jaume
Z2Z4-Linear Codes
The theory developed for ¿2¿4-additive codes is the starting point for much generalization about codes over mixed alphabets. They have opened a new, emergent area of research.  The techniques used for ¿2¿4-linear codes are being generalized and applied to more general codes. By example, these codes have contributed to the classification of many nonlinear codes. Moreover, they can be considered as the starting point of many different generaliza...
