Abstract
© 2017, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC. We prove that the class of Z2Z2[ u] -linear codes is exactly the class of Z2-linear codes with automorphism group of even order. Using this characterization, we give examples of known codes, e.g. perfect codes, which have a nontrivial Z2Z2[ u] structure. Moreover, we exhibit some examples of Z2-linear codes which are not Z2Z2[ u] -linear. Also, we state that the duality of Z2Z2[ u] -linear codes is the same as the duality of Z2-linear codes. Finally, we prove that the class of Z2Z4-linear codes which are also Z2-linear is strictly contained in the class of Z2Z2[ u] -linear codes.
