Self-stabilizing ring orientation

A distributed system is said to be self-stabilizing if it will eventually reach a legitimate system state regardless of its initial state. Because of this property, a self-stabilizing system is extremely robust against failures; it tolerates any finite ...

We obtain structural results about group ring codes over F[G], where F is a finite field of characteristic p > 0 and the Sylow p-subgroup of the Abelian group G is cyclic. As a special case, we characterize cyclic codes over finite fields in the case ...
