A note on formally self-dual even codes of length divisible by 8
نویسندگان
چکیده
A binary code with the same weight distribution as its dual code is called formally self-dual (f.s.d.). We only consider f.s.d. even codes (codes with only even weight codewords). We show that any formally self-dual even binary code C of length n not divisible by 8 is balanced. We show that the weight distribution of a balanced near-extremal f.s.d. even code of length a multiple of 8 is unique. We also determine the possible weight enumerators of a nearextremal f.s.d. even [n, n/2, 2bn/8c] code with 8 | n as well as the dimension of its radical.

Nonexistence of near-extremal formally self-dual even codes of length divisible by 8
It is a well known fact that if C is an [n, k, d] formally self-dual even code with n > 30, then d ≤ 2[n/8]. A formally self-dual even code with d = 2[n/8] is called nearextremal. Kim and Pless [9] conjecture that there does not exist a near-extremal formally self dual even (not Type II) code of length n ≥ 48 with 8|n. In this paper, we prove that if n ≥ 72 and 8|n, then there is no near-extrem...
متن کاملThe nonexistence of near-extremal formally self-dual codes
A code C is called formally self-dual if C and C⊥ have the same weight enumerators. There are four types of nontrivial divisible formally self-dual codes over F2, F3, and F4. These codes are called extremal if their minimum distances achieve the MallowsSloane bound. S. Zhang gave possible lengths for which extremal self-dual codes do not exist. In this paper, we define near-extremal formally se...
متن کاملConstruction of new extremal self-dual codes
In this paper, new binary extremal self-dual codes are presented. A number of new extremal singly-even self-dual codes of lengths 48; 64 and 78, and extremal doubly-even self-dual codes of lengths 80 and 88, are constructed. We also relate an extremal doubly-even self-dual code of length divisible by 24 to an extremal singly-even self-dual code of that length. New singly-even self-dual codes of...
متن کاملClassification of the extremal formally self-dual even codes of length 30
Throughout this paper all codes are assumed to be binary. A linear code C is formally self-dual (fsd) if C and its dual C have the same weight enumerator. While self-dual codes contain only even weight vectors, formally self-dual codes may contain odd weight codewords as well. Many authors consider only even formally self-dual codes because their weight enumerators are combinations of Gleason p...
متن کاملThe classification of complementary information set codes of lengths 14 and 16
In the paper " A new class of codes for Boolean masking of cryptographic computations , " Carlet, Gaborit, Kim, and Solé defined a new class of rate one-half binary codes called complementary information set (or CIS) codes. The authors then classified all CIS codes of length less than or equal to 12. CIS codes have relations to classical Coding Theory as they are a generalization of self-dual c...
