On the constructions of MDS self-dual codes via cyclotomy

Constructions of MDS-convolutional codes

Maximum-distance separable (MDS) convolutional codes are characterized through the property that the free distance attains the generalized singleton bound. The existence of MDS convolutional codes was established by two of the authors by using methods from algebraic geometry. This correspondence provides an elementary construction of MDS convolutional codes for each rate k/n and each degree δ. ...

MDS and self-dual codes over rings

In this paper we give the structure of constacyclic codes over formal power series and chain rings. We also present necessary and sufficient conditions on the existence of MDS codes over principal ideal rings. These results allow for the construction of infinite families of MDS self-dual codes over finite chain rings, formal power series and principal ideal rings.

Orthogonal designs and MDS self-dual codes

Arithmetic Constructions Of Binary Self-Dual Codes

The goal of this thesis is to explore the interplay between binary self-dual codes and the \'etale cohomology of arithmetic schemes. Three constructions of binary self-dual codes with arithmetic origins are proposed and compared: Construction $\Q$, Construction G and the Equivariant Construction. In this thesis, we prove that up to equivalence, all binary self-dual codes of length at least $4$ ...

New MDS Self-Dual Codes from Generalized Reed-Solomon Codes

Both MDS and Euclidean self-dual codes have theoretical and practical importance and the study of MDS self-dual codes has attracted lots of attention in recent years. In particular, determining existence of q-ary MDS self-dual codes for various lengths has been investigated extensively. The problem is completely solved for the case where q is even. The current paper focuses on the case where q ...
