I need to show that $GRS_{n,k}(\alpha,\mathbb{1})^{\perp}=GRS_{n,n-k}(\alpha,\alpha)$, where $\alpha=(1,a,\ldots,a^{n-1})$, $a$ is a primitive $n$-th root of unity, $\mathbb{1}=(1,1,\ldots,1)$.

So, to show this, I think It suffices to show that $c\cdot c'=0$ for all $c\in GRS_{n,k}(\alpha,\mathbb{1})$ and for all $c'\in GRS_{n,n-k}(\alpha,\alpha)$. I am kinda stuck how to approach this, should I go with the generating matrix or something else?

Clearly

$$c=(1\cdot f(1),1 \cdot f(a),1\cdot f(a^2),\cdots,1\cdot f(a^{n-1}))=(f(1),f(a),f(a^2),\cdots, f(a^{n-1})),$$ and $$c'=(1\cdot g(1),a \cdot g(a),a^2\cdot g(a^2),\cdots,a^{n-1}\cdot g(a^{n-1}))=(g(1),ag(a),a^2g(a^2),\cdots, a^{n-1}g(a^{n-1})).$$ Where $f$ has degree at most $k-1$ and $g$ has degree at most $n-k-1.$

So the product has degree at most $n-2.$ One then needs to show that the product is actually the zero polynomial, using Lagrange interpolation. You can refer to John Hall's very useful Coding Theory notes (Chapter 5) at Michigan State, if you need more details.

  • I have looked at those before, the thing is that I do not know how to derive the inverses. I have no information in my problem what they are – zermelovac Dec 18 '18 at 06:02
