Linearity and classification of Z2Z4Z8-linear Hadamard codes

The Z2Z4Z8-additive codes are subgroups of Z2α1 × Z4α2 × Z8α3. A Z2Z4Z8-linear Hadamard code is a Hadamard code which is the Gray map image of a Z2Z4Z8-additive code. A recursive construction of Z2Z4Z8-additive Hadamard codes of type (α1, α2, α3; t1, t2, t3) with α1 ≠ 0, α2 ≠ 0, α3 ≠ 0, t1 ≥ 1, t2 ≥...

Sumario:The Z2Z4Z8-additive codes are subgroups of Z2α1 × Z4α2 × Z8α3. A Z2Z4Z8-linear Hadamard code is a Hadamard code which is the Gray map image of a Z2Z4Z8-additive code. A recursive construction of Z2Z4Z8-additive Hadamard codes of type (α1, α2, α3; t1, t2, t3) with α1 ≠ 0, α2 ≠ 0, α3 ≠ 0, t1 ≥ 1, t2 ≥ 0, and t3 ≥ 1 is known. In this paper, we generalize some known results for Z2Z4-linear Hadamard codes to Z2Z4Z8-linear Hadamard codes with α1 ≠ 0, α2 ≠ 0, and α3 ≠ 0. First, we show for which types the corresponding Z2Z4Z8-linear Hadamard codes of length 2t are nonlinear. For these codes, we compute the kernel and its dimension, which allows us to give a partial classification of these codes. Moreover, for 3 ≤ t ≤ 11, we give a complete classification by providing the exact amount of nonequivalent such codes. We also prove the existence of several families of infinite such nonlinear Z2Z4Z8-linear Hadamard codes, which are not equivalent to any other constructed Z2Z4Z8-linear Hadamard code, nor to any Z2Z4-linear Hadamard code, nor to any previously constructed Z2s-linear Hadamard code with s ≥ 2, with the same length 2t.
