New extremal singly even self-dual codes of lengths and
For lengths and , we construct extremal singly even self-dual codes
with weight enumerators for which no extremal singly even self-dual codes were
previously known to exist. We also construct new inequivalent extremal
doubly even self-dual codes with covering radius meeting the
Delsarte bound.Comment: 13 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1706.0169
Self-Dual Codes
Self-dual codes are important because many of the best codes known are of
this type and they have a rich mathematical theory. Topics covered in this
survey include codes over F_2, F_3, F_4, F_q, Z_4, Z_m, shadow codes, weight
enumerators, Gleason-Pierce theorem, invariant theory, Gleason theorems,
bounds, mass formulae, enumeration, extremal codes, open problems. There is a
comprehensive bibliography.Comment: 136 page
On the Residue Codes of Extremal Type II Z4-Codes of Lengths 32 and 40
In this paper, we determine the dimensions of the residue codes of extremal
Type II Z4-codes for lengths 32 and 40. We demonstrate that every binary doubly
even self-dual code of length 32 can be realized as the residue code of some
extremal Type II Z4-code. It is also shown that there is a unique extremal Type
II Z4-code of length 32 whose residue code has the smallest dimension 6 up to
equivalence. As a consequence, many new extremal Type II Z4-codes of lengths 32
and 40 are constructed.Comment: 19 page
