Abstract

A linear code with complementary dual
(LCD) is a linear code such that  LCD codes are of great
importance due to their wide range of applications in consumer electronics,
storage systems and cryptography. Group rings have a rich source of units. Also
the well-known structural linear codes such as cyclic codes are within the
family of group ring codes. Thus, group rings offer an affluent source for
structural codes that may lead to linear codes with good properties. In this
work, we derive a condition for codes obtained from units of group rings to be
LCD. We show that a special decomposition of group rings meet the LCD
condition. We also proposed a consruction of linear complementary pair (LCP) of
codes.
