Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue’s main purpose is to explore new encoding and decoding procedures based on different algebraic structures. In other words, this refers to the application of algebraic structures in error-control codes to find new algorithms that increase the number of errors that can be corrected and the speed of the encoding and decoding procedure. These algebraic structures have included commutative algebras, computational algebras, ordered algebras and hyper compositional algebras, emphasizing new combinatorial aspects related to lattice theory, theory of category, graph theory, and modeling.

This Special Issue accepts original and high-level contributions, where a connection between algebraic structures and coding theory or cryptography is presented. New theoretical aspects as well as practical applications representing current research directions on this topic are welcome. We also invite authors to submit high-quality review papers on the aforementioned topic.

Furthermore, we discuss the classification of the non-Abelian extensions in terms of non-Abelian cohomology groups. Finally, we explore the inducibility of pairs of automorphisms and derive the analog Wells exact sequences under the circumstance of differential Leibniz conformal algebras. Full article

Current work provides an algebraic and geometric technique for building topological quantum codes. From the lattice partition derived of quotient lattices Λ/Λ of index m combined with geometric technique of the projections of vector basis Λ over vector basis Λ, we reproduce surface codes found in the literature with parameter [[2m,2,|a|+|b|]] for the case Λ=Z2 and m=a2+b2, where a and b are integers that are not null, simultaneously. We also obtain a new class of surface code with parameters [[2m,2,|a|+|b|]] from the Λ=A2-lattice when m can be expressed as m=a2+ab+b2, where a and b are integer values. Finally, we will show how this technique can be extended to the construction of color codes with parameters [[18m,4,6(|a|+|b|)]] by considering honeycomb lattices partition A2/Λ of index m=9(a2+ab+b2) where a and b are not null integers.

This paper investigates the relationship between the commutativity of rings and the properties of their multiplicative generalized derivations. Let F be a ring with a semiprime ideal Π. A map ϕ:FF is classified as a multiplicative generalized derivation if there exists a map σ:FF such that ϕ(xy)=ϕ(x)y+xσ(y) for all x,yF. This study focuses on semiprime ideals Π that admit multiplicative generalized derivations ϕ and G that satisfy certain differential identities within F. By examining these conditions, the paper aims to provide new insights into the structural aspects of rings, particularly their commutativity in relation to the behavior of such derivations.

Many people, including Horadam, have studied the numbers Wn, satisfying the recurrence relation Wn=uWn1+vWn2 (n2) with W0=0 and W1=1. In this paper, we study the p-numerical semigroups of the triple (Wi,Wi+2,Wi+k) for integers i,k(3). For a nonnegative integer p, the p-numerical semigroup Sp is defined as the set of integers whose nonnegative integral linear combinations of given positive integers a1,a2,,aκ with gcd(a1,a2,,aκ)=1 are expressed in more than p ways. When p=0, S=S0 is the original numerical semigroup. The largest element and the cardinality of N0Sp are called the p-Frobenius number and the p-genus, respectively. Full article

Suppose that R=Zp4[u] with u2=p3β and pu=0, where p is a prime and β is a unit in R. Then, R is a local non-chain ring of order p5 with a unique maximal ideal J=(p,u) and a residue field of order p. A linear code C of length N over R is an R-submodule of RN. The purpose of this article is to examine MacWilliams identities and generator matrices for linear codes of length N over R. We first prove that when p2, there are precisely two distinct rings with these properties up to isomorphism. However, for p=2, only a single such ring is found. Furthermore, we fully describe the lattice of ideals of R and their orders. We then calculate the generator matrices and MacWilliams relations for the linear codes C over R, illustrated with numerical examples. It is important to address that there are challenges associated with working with linear codes over non-chain rings, as such rings are not principal ideal rings. Full article

On Properties and Classification of a Class of 4-Dimensional 3-Hom-Lie Algebras with a Nilpotent Twisting Map

The aim of this work is to investigate the properties and classification of an interesting class of 4-dimensional 3-Hom-Lie algebras with a nilpotent twisting map α and eight structure constants as parameters. Derived series and central descending series are studied for all algebras in this class and are used to divide it into five non-isomorphic subclasses. The levels of solvability and nilpotency of the 3-Hom-Lie algebras in these five classes are obtained. Building upon that, all algebras of this class are classified up to Hom-algebra isomorphism. Necessary and sufficient conditions for multiplicativity of general (n+1)-dimensional n-Hom-Lie algebras, as well as for algebras in the considered class, are obtained in terms of the structure constants and the twisting map. Furthermore, for some algebras in this class, it is determined whether the terms of the derived and central descending series are weak subalgebras, Hom-subalgebras, weak ideals, or Hom-ideals.

In this note, we show that, for any real number τ[12,1), any finite set of positive integers K and any integer s12, the sequence of integers s1,s2,s3, satisfying si+1siK if si is a prime number, and 2si+1τsi if si is a composite number, is bounded from above. The bound is given in terms of an explicit constant depending on τ,s1 and the maximal element of K only. In particular, if K is a singleton set and for each composite si the integer si+1 in the interval [2,τsi] is chosen by some prescribed rule, e.g., si+1 is the largest prime divisor of si, then the sequence s1,s2,s3, is periodic. In general, we show that the sequences satisfying the above conditions are all periodic if and only if either K={1} and τ[12,34) or K={2} and τ[12,59). Full article

This manuscript aims to provide a new characterization of Sheffer stroke Hilbert algebras due to their ideals and proposes stabilizers. In the setup of the main results, we construct particular subsets of Sheffer stroke Hilbert algebras and we propose important properties of these subsets by investigating whether these sets are ideals or not. Furthermore, we investigate whether the introduced subsets of Sheffer stroke Hilbert algebras are minimal ideals. Afterwards, we define stabilizers in a Sheffer stroke Hilbert algebra and obtain their set theoretical properties. As an implementation of the theoretical findings, we present numerous examples and illustrative remarks to guide readers. Full article

In this paper, we focus on Brauer’s height zero conjecture, Robinson’s conjecture, and Olsson’s conjecture regarding the direct product of finite groups and give relative versions of these conjectures by restricting them to the algebraic concept of the anchor group of an irreducible character. Consider G to be a finite simple group. We prove that the anchor group of the irreducible character of G with degree p is the trivial group, where p is an odd prime. Additionally, we introduce the relative version of the Green correspondence theorem with respect to this group. We then apply the relative versions of these conjectures to suitable examples of simple groups. Classical and standard theories on the direct product of finite groups, block theory, and character theory are used to achieve these results. Full article

Omega rings (Ω-rings) (and other related structures) are lattice-valued structures (with Ω being the codomain lattice) defined on crisp algebras of the same type, with lattice-valued equality replacing the classical one. In this paper, Ω-ideals are introduced, and natural connections with Ω-congruences and homomorphisms are established. As an application, a framework of approximate solutions of systems of linear equations over Ω-fields is developed. Full article
