文摘Let C be a free cyclic code over Zp^a and dim pC = k. In the paper, we prove that if the k characteristic generators of C are p-linearly independent then the corresponding nα- k characteristic generators of C^⊥ are p-linearly independent. We then show that to any trellis that can be constructed from k p-linearly independent characteristic generators of C, there exists a trellis for C^⊥ with the same state-complexity profile, which generalizes the conjecture of Koetter and Vardy to a free cyclic code over Zpo.
