Binary cyclic codes of length five
ID: binary-cyclic-codes-of-length-five
Over , and the degree-four factor is irreducible: it has no linear root and is not divisible by the sole irreducible quadratic . The four monic divisors give precisely four cyclic codes: the full five-dimensional space, the four-dimensional even-weight code, the one-dimensional repetition code, and the zero code. Their generator polynomials of a cyclic code are respectively , , , and .
