Skew cyclic codes over $F_{q}+uF_{q}+vF_{q}+uvF_{q}$

Abstract

In this paper, we study skew cyclic codes over the ring $R=\mathbb{F}_{q}+u\mathbb{F}_{q}+v\mathbb{F}_{q}+uv\mathbb{F}_{q}$, where $u^{2}=u,v^{2}=v,uv=vu$, $q=p^{m}$ and $p$ is an odd prime. We investigate the structural properties of skew cyclic codes over $R$ through a decomposition theorem. Furthermore, we give a formula for the number of skew cyclic codes of length $n$ over $R.$

Keywords
