    • Enumeration of cyclic codes over GF(17) 

      Hussein, Lao; Kivunge, Benard; Muthoka, Geoffrey; Mwangi, Patrick (UoEm, 2015-05)
      In this paper we seek the number of irreducible polynomials of xn− 1 over GF(17). We factorize Xn− 1 over GF(17)into irreducible polynomials using cyclotomic cosets of 17 modulo n . The number of irreducible polynomials ...

    • On the Number of Cyclotomic Cosets and Cyclic Codes over Z13 

      Hussein, Lao; Kivunge, Benard; Kimani, Patrick; Muthoka, Geoffrey (UoEm, 2018-06)
      Let Zq be a finite field with q element and x n − 1 be a given cyclotomic polynomial. The number of cyclotomic cosets and cyclic codes has not been done in general. Although for different values of q the polynomial x n ...
