Abstract

In this paper, we produce new classes of MDS self-dual codes via (extended) generalized Reed-Solomon codes over finite fields of odd characteristic. Among our constructions, there are many MDS self-dual codes with new parameters which have never been reported. For odd prime power qq with qq square, the total number of lengths for MDS self-dual codes over Fq\mathbb{F}_q presented in this paper is much more than those in all the previous results.
