Abstract
We study LCD (linear complementary dual) and ACD (additive complementary dual) codes over a noncommutative non-unital ring E with four elements. This is the first attempt to construct LCD codes over a noncommutative non-unital ring. We show that free LCD codes over E are directly related to binary LCD codes. We introduce ACD codes over E. They include free LCD codes over E as a special case. These facts imply that LCD and ACD codes over E are worth studying. In particular, we characterize a free LCD E-code C in terms of a binary generator matrix G. We also define an ACD code over E, called a left-ACD code. We give several conditions for the existence of left-ACD codes.
