Construction of extremal self-dual codes over Z8 and Z16

초록/요약

We present a method of constructing free self-dual codes over (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) which are extremal or optimal with respect to the Hamming weight. We first prove that every (extremal or optimal) free self-dual code over (Formula presented.) can be found from a binary (extremal or optimal) Type II code for any positive integer (Formula presented.). We find explicit algorithms for construction of self-dual codes over (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.). Our construction method is basically a lifting method. Furthermore, we find an upper bound of minimum Hamming weights of free self-dual codes over (Formula presented.). By using our explicit algorithms, we construct extremal free self-dual codes over (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.) up to lengths 40. © 2015 Springer Science+Business Media New York
