A Note on Self-Dual Generalized Reed-Solomon Codes


الملخص بالإنكليزية

A linear code is called an MDS self-dual code if it is both an MDS code and a self-dual code with respect to the Euclidean inner product. The parameters of such codes are completely determined by the code length. In this paper, we consider new constructions of MDS self-dual codes via generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes and their extended codes. The critical idea of our constructions is to choose suitable evaluation points such that the corresponding (extended) GRS codes are self-dual. The evaluation set of our constructions is consists of a subgroup of finite fields and its cosets in a bigger subgroup. Four new families of MDS self-dual codes are obtained and they have better parameters than previous results in certain region. Moreover, by the Mobius action over finite fields, we give a systematic way to construct self-dual GRS codes with different evaluation points provided any known self-dual GRS codes. Specially, we prove that all the self-dual extended GRS codes over $mathbb{F}_{q}$ with length $n< q+1$ can be constructed from GRS codes with the same parameters.
