We introduce a consistent and efficient method to construct self-dual codes over GF (q) using symmetric matrices and eigenvectors from a self-dual code over GF (q) of smaller length where q ≡ 1 (mod 4). Using this method, which is called a 'symmetric building-up' construction, we improve the bounds of the best-known minimum weights of self-dual codes with lengths up to 40, which have not significantly improved for almost two decades. We focus on a class of self-dual codes, which includes double circulant codes. We obtain 2967 new self-dual codes over GF (13) and GF (17) up to equivalence. Also, we compute the minimum weights of quadratic residue(QR) codes that were previously unknown. These are: [20,10,10] QR self-dual code over GF (23), [24,12,12] QR self-dual codes over GF (29) and GF (41), and [32,16,14] QR self-dual codes over GF (19). They have the highest minimum weights so far.INDEX TERMS eigenvectors, optimal codes, quadratic residue codes, self-dual codes, symmetric matrix, symmetric self-dual code

In this work, we describe a double bordered construction of self-dual codes from group rings. We show that this construction is effective for groups of order 2p where p is odd, over the rings F 2 + uF 2 and F 4 + uF 4. We demonstrate the importance of this new construction by finding many new binary self-dual codes of lengths 64, 68 and 80; the new codes and their corresponding weight enumerators are listed in several tables.

“…From now on, we consider q = p m where p is an odd prime number and m ≥ 1. Several families of MDS self-dual codes over F q have been constructed with length n satisfying certain conditions by using generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS for short) codes and extended generalized Reed-Solomon (EGRS for short) codes [2]- [4], [7], [9]- [12], [15], orthogonal designs [8,14], extended cyclic duadic codes and negacyclic codes [6]. Roughly speaking, the first approach is to look for the GRS codes and EGRS codes as candidates of MDS codes, then to find sufficient conditions satisfied by length n such that the codes are self-dual.…”

“…The last two approaches are to look for the self-dual codes given by orthogonal designs and (nega-)cyclic codes and select ones being MDS codes. A table of MDS self-dual codes over F q is provided in [14] for length n ≤ 12 and odd prime number p ≤ 109.…”
Based on the fundamental results on MDS self-dual codes over finite fields constructed via generalized Reed-Solomon codes [9] and extended generalized Reed-Solomon codes [15], many series of MDS self-dual codes with different length have been obtained recently by a variety of constructions and individual computations. In this paper, we present an unified approach to get several previous results with concise statements and simplified proofs, and some new constructions on MDS self-dual codes. In the conclusion section we raise two open problems.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 11T06, 11T55.
