Self-orthogonal codes constructed from weakly self-orthogonal designs invariant under an action of $M_{11}$

Abstract

In this paper we generalize the construction of binary self-orthogonal codes obtained from weakly self-orthogonal designs described by Tonchev in [12] in order to obtain self-orthogonal codes over an arbitrary field. We extend construction self-orthogonal codes from orbit matrices of self-orthogonal designs and weakly self-orthogonal 1-designs such that block size is odd and block intersection numbers are even described in [5]. Also, we generalize mentioned construction in order to obtain self-orthogonal codes over an arbitrary field. We construct weakly self-orthogonal designs invariant under an action of Mathieu group $M_{11}$ and, from them, binary self-orthogonal codes.
