The Grassl-R\"otteler cyclic and consta-cyclic MDS codes are generalised Reed-Solomon codes

We prove that the cyclic and constacyclic codes constructed by Grassl and Rötteler in [6] are generalised Reed-Solomon codes. This note can be considered as an addendum to Grassl and Rötteler [6]. It can also be considered as an appendix to Ball and Vilar [4], where Conjecture 11 of [6], which was stated for Grassl-Rötteler codes, is proven for generalised Reed-Solomon codes. The content of this note, together with [4], therefore implies that Conjecture 11 from [6] is true.
