TABLES OF SELF-DUAL CODES

    The purpose of this page is to present an updated table and a database of the best known self-dual codes over GF(2) (Type I and Type II), GF(3), GF(4) (Euclidean and Hermitian), GF(5) and GF(7). This page was created by Philippe Gaborit (gaborit@unilim.fr) and Ayoub Otmani (otmani@unilim.fr) and is maintained by Philippe Gaborit.

NOTE: THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION and more codes will be added soon.

GF(2):Type I, Type II
GF(3)
GF(4):Euclidean,Hermitian
GF(5)
GF(7)

We refer to the chapter "Self-dual codes" ([RS]) written by E.M. Rains and N.J.A. Sloane in Handbook of Coding Theory edited by V.S. Pless and W.C. Huffman, (Amsterdam: Elsevier, 1998, pp. 177-294) for notation and an introduction to self-dual codes.

In the following tables constructions f1,f2 and f3 can be found in the preprint by P. Gaborit and A. Otmani, "Experimental constructions of self-dual codes", preprint.
