The reversible negacyclic codes over finite fields

Abstract: In this paper, by investigating the factor of the $x<sup>n+1$, we deduce that the structure of the reversible negacyclic code over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $q$ is an odd prime power. Though studying $q-$cyclotomic cosets modulo $2n$, we obtain the parameters of negacyclic BCH code of length $n=\frac{q<sup>\ell+1}{2}$ , $n=\frac{q<sup>m-1}{2(q-1)}$ and $n=\frac{q<sup>{t\cdot2<sup>\tau}-1}{2(q<sup>t+1)}$. Some optimal linear codes from negacyclic codes are given. Finally, we discuss a class of MDS LCD negacyclic codes.
