Constructions of MDS Self-dual Codes from Short length

Abstract

Systematic constructions of MDS self-dual codes is widely concerned. In this paper, we consider the constructions of MDS Euclidean self-dual codes from short length. Indeed, the exact constructions of MDS Euclidean self-dual codes from short length ($n=3,4,5,6$) are given. In general, we construct more new of $q$-ary MDS Euclidean self-dual codes from MDS self-dual codes of known length via generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS for short) codes and extended GRS codes.
