LCD Cyclic Codes over Finite Fields
  In addition to their applications in data storage, communications systems, and consumer electronics, LCD codes -- a class of linear codes -- have been employed in cryptography recently. LCD cyclic codes were referred to as reversible cyclic codes in the literature. The objective of this paper is to construct several families of reversible cyclic codes over finite fields and analyse their parameters. The LCD cyclic codes presented in this paper have very good parameters in general, and contain many optimal codes. A well rounded treatment of reversible cyclic codes is also given in this paper.
