Three classes of BCH codes and their duals

Abstract: BCH codes are an important class of cyclic codes, and have wide applicantions in communication and storage systems. However, it is difficult to determine the parameters of BCH codes and only a few cases are known. In this paper, we mainly study three classes of BCH codes with $n=q^{m}-1,\frac{q^{2s}-1}{q+1},\frac{q^{m}-1}{q-1}$. On one hand, we accurately give the parameters of $\mathcal C_{(q,n,\delta,1)}$ and its dual codes. On the other hand, we give the sufficient and necessary conditions for $\mathcal C_{(q,n,\delta,2)}$ being dually-BCH codes.
