On a class of constacyclic codes over the non-principal ideal ring $\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}+u\mathbb{Z}_{p^s}$

Abstract: $(1+pw)$-constacyclic codes of arbitrary length over the non-principal ideal ring $\mathbb{Z}{p^s} +u\mathbb{Z}{p^s}$ are studied, where $p$ is a prime, $w\in \mathbb{Z}{p^s}^{\times}$ and $s$ an integer satisfying $s\geq 2$. First, the structure of any $(1+pw)$-constacyclic code over $\mathbb{Z}{p^s} +u\mathbb{Z}{p^s}$ are presented. Then enumerations for the number of all codes and the number of codewords in each code, and the structure of dual codes for these codes are given, respectively. Then self-dual $(1+2w)$-constacyclic codes over $\mathbb{Z}{2^s} +u\mathbb{Z}_{2^s}$ are investigated, where $w=2^{s-2}-1$ or $2^{s-1}-1$ if $s\geq 3$, and $w=1$ if $s=2$.
