Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) finite codes are defined as families of compact support sequences indexed in Z × Z and taking values in Fn, F a Galois field. Several properties of encoders, decoders and syndrome decoders are discussed under different hypotheses on the code structure, and related to the injectivity and primeness of the corresponding polynomial matrices in two variables. Dual codes are finally introduced as families of parity checks on a given modular code, and related to the standard theory of 2D behaviors.
