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
