Abstract
In this article, for a finite field $ \mathbb{F}_q $ and a natural number $ l, $ let $ \mathcal{R} $ denote the product ring $ \mathbb{F}_q^l. $ Firstly, for an automorphism $ \Theta $ of $ \mathcal{R}, $ a $ \Theta $-derivation $ \Delta_\Theta $ of $ \mathcal{R} $ and for a unit $ \mathit{\boldsymbol{a}} $ in $ \mathcal{R}, $ we study $ (\Theta, \Delta_\Theta, \mathit{\boldsymbol{a}}) $-cyclic codes over $ \mathcal{R}. $ In this direction, we give an algebraic characterization of a $ (\Theta, \Delta_\Theta, \mathit{\boldsymbol{a}}) $-cyclic code over $ \mathcal{R} $, determine its generator polynomial, and find its decomposition over $ \mathbb{F}_q. $ Secondly, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a $ (\Theta, 0, \mathit{\boldsymbol{a}}) $-cyclic code to be Euclidean dual-containing code over $ \mathcal{R}. $ Thirdly, we study Gray maps and obtain several MDS and optimal linear codes over $ \mathbb{F}_q $ as Gray images of $ (\Theta, \Delta_\Theta, \mathit{\boldsymbol{a}}) $-cyclic codes over $ \mathcal{R}. $ Moreover, we determine orthogonality preserving Gray maps and construct Euclidean dual-containing codes with good parameters. Lastly, as an application, we construct MDS and almost MDS quantum codes by employing the Euclidean dual-containing and annihilator dual-containing CSS constructions.
