Lower Bound on the Minimum Distance of Single-Generator Quasi-Twisted Codes

We recall a classic lower bound on the minimum Hamming distance of constacyclic codes over finite fields, analogous to the well-known BCH bound for cyclic codes. This BCH-like bound serves as a foundation for proposing some minimum-distance lower bounds for single-generator quasi-twisted (QT) codes....
