Recently, double Toeplitz codes have been introduced as a generalization of double circulant codes. In this paper, we study the average weight enumerators of double Toeplitz codes. As an application, we consider the existence of double…
Double circulant codes of length $2n$ over the semilocal ring $R = \mathbb{F}_q + u\mathbb{F}_q,\, u^2=u,$ are studied when $q$ is an odd prime power, and $-1$ is a square in $\mathbb{F}_q.$ Double negacirculant codes of length $2n$ are…
Recently, some infinite families of binary minimal and optimal linear codes are constructed from simplicial complexes by Hyun {\em et al}. Inspired by their work, we present two new constructions of codes over the ring $\Bbb F_2+u\Bbb F_2$…
We give constructions of self-dual and formally self-dual codes from group rings where the ring is a finite commutative Frobenius ring. We improve the existing construction given in \cite{Hurley1} by showing that one of the conditions given…
We first establish a simple yet powerful necessary and sufficient condition for a binary linear code to be SO, leading to a complete characterization of singly-even codes in this family. We further derive necessary and sufficient conditions…
For some extremal (optimal) odd unimodular lattice $L$ in dimensions $12,16,20,28,32,36,40$ and $44$, we determine all integers $k$ such that $L$ contains a $k$-frame. This result yields the existence of an extremal Type I…
The sizes of optimal constant-composition codes of weight three have been determined by Chee, Ge and Ling with four cases in doubt. Group divisible codes played an important role in their constructions. In this paper, we study the problem…
In this paper, for an even integer $n\geq 4$ and any positive integer $k$ with ${\rm gcd}(n/2,k)={\rm gcd}(n/2-k,2k)=d$ being odd, a class of $p$-ary codes $\mathcal{C}^k$ is defined and their weight distribution is completely determined,…
Binary optimal codes often contain optimal or near-optimal subcodes. In this paper we show that this is true for the family of self-dual codes. One approach is to compute the optimum distance profiles (ODPs) of linear codes, which was…
We study properties of binary codes with parameters close to the parameters of 1-perfect codes. An arbitrary binary $(n=2^m-3, 2^{n-m-1}, 4)$ code $C$, i.e., a code with parameters of a triply-shortened extended Hamming code, is a cell of…
Additive codes over GF(9) that are self-dual with respect to the Hermitian trace inner product have a natural application in quantum information theory, where they correspond to ternary quantum error-correcting codes. However, these codes…
In this paper, we construct self-dual codes from a construction that involves 2x2 block circulant matrices, group rings and a reverse circulant matrix. We provide conditions whereby this construction can yield self-dual codes. We construct…
The automorphism group of a binary doubly-even self-dual code is always contained in the alternating group. On the other hand, given a permutation group $G$ of degree $n$ there exists a doubly-even self-dual $G$-invariant code if and only…
We give a complete classification of self-dual completely regular codes with covering radius $\rho \leq 3$. For $\rho=1$ the results are almost trivial. For $\rho=2$, by using properties of the more general class of uniformly packed codes…

Binary cyclic codes have been a hot topic for many years, and significant progress has been made in the study of this types of codes. As is well known, it is hard to construct infinite families of binary cyclic codes [n, n+1/2] with good…
In this paper we investigate codes over finite commutative rings R, whose generator matrices are built from \$\alpha\$-circulant matrices. For a non-trivial ideal I<R we give a method to lift such codes over R/I to codes over R, such that…
In this article, we construct infinite families of quaternary (that is, over the ring $\mathbb{Z}_4$) $\mathcal{C}_{D}$-codes, where the defining set $D$ is derived utilizing a two-generator simplicial complex, and determine their Lee…
For $n,d,w \in \mathbb{N}$, let $A(n,d,w)$ denote the maximum size of a binary code of word length $n$, minimum distance $d$ and constant weight $w$. Schrijver recently showed using semidefinite programming that $A(23,8,11)=1288$, and the…
Let H be the standard Hadamard matrix of order two and let K=2^{-1/2}H. It is known that the complete weight enumerator $\ W$ of a binary self-dual code of length $n$ is an eigenvector corresponding to an eigenvalue 1 of the Kronecker power…
