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,…

Let $p$ be a prime, and $N$ be a positive integer not divisible by $p$. Denote by ${\rm ord}_N(p)$ the multiplicative order of $p$ modulo $N$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ represent the finite field of order $q=p^{{\rm ord}_N(p)}$. For $a,…

In this paper, several classes of three-weight codes and two-weight codes for the homogeneous metric over the chain ring $R=\mathbb{F}_p+u\mathbb{F}_p+\cdots +u^{k-1}\mathbb{F}_{p},$ with $u^k=0,$ are constructed, which generalises…

Cyclic codes have attracted a lot of research interest for decades. In this paper, for an odd prime $p$, we propose a general strategy to compute the complete weight enumerator of cyclic codes via the value distribution of the corresponding…

Let $R=\mathbb{Z}_{4}[v]/\langle v^2+2v\rangle=\mathbb{Z}_{4}+v\mathbb{Z}_{4}$ ($v^2=2v$) and $n$ be an odd positive integer. Then $R$ is a local non-principal ideal ring of $16$ elements and there is a $\mathbb{Z}_{4}$-linear Gray map from…

In this paper, a family of cyclic codes over $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ whose duals have five zeros is presented, where $p$ is an odd prime. Furthermore, the weight distributions of these cyclic codes are determined.

Let $p$ be a prime number. Irreducible cyclic codes of length $p^2-1$ and dimension $2$ over the integers modulo $p^h$ are shown to have exactly two nonzero Hamming weights. The construction uses the Galois ring of characteristic $p^h$ and…

In this paper, constructions of some double circulant self-dual codes by generalized cyclotomic classes of order two are presented. This technique is applied to [72, 36, 12] binary highest know self-dual codes to obtain self-dual codes over…

We introduce an altered version of the four circulant construction over group rings for self-dual codes. We consider this construction over the binary field, the rings F_2 + uF_2 and F_4 + uF_4; using groups of order 3, 7, 9, 13, and 15.…

We provide a simple proof for a complementary pair of group codes over a finite non-commutative Frobenius ring of the fact that one of them is equivalent to the other one. We also explore this fact for checkeable codes over the same type of…

The aim of this work is to study the dual and the algebraic dual of an evaluation code using standard monomials and indicator functions. We show that the dual of an evaluation code is the evaluation code of the algebraic dual. We develop an…

We explore the connection between simple polytopes and self-dual binary codes via the theory of small covers. We first show that a small cover $M^n$ over a simple $n$-polytope $P^n$ produces a self-dual code in the sense of Kreck-Puppe if…

Lind and Schmidt have shown that the homoclinic group of a cyclic $\Z^k$ algebraic dynamical system is isomorphic to the dual of the phase group. We show that this duality result is part of an exact sequence if $k=1$. The exact sequence is…
