SUMMARYCyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. Let C (t,e) denote the cyclic code with two nonzero α t and α e , where α is a generator of F * 3 m . In this letter, we investigate the ternary cyclic codes with parameters [3 m −1, 3 m −1−2m, 4] based on some results proposed by Ding and Helleseth in 2013. Two new classes of optimal ternary cyclic codes C (t,e) are presented by choosing the proper t and e and determining the solutions of certain equations over F 3 m .
