Construction of Extremal Type II Z8-Codes Using the Doubling Method
Concetti Chiave
A doubling method is introduced to construct new extremal Type II Z8-codes of length 32 and type (15, 1, 1) from known extremal Type II Z8-codes of length 24, 32, or 40 and type (n/2, 0, 0) with extremal Z4-residue codes.
Sintesi
The paper introduces a doubling method for constructing new Type II Z2k-codes from known Type II Z2k-codes. This method is then specialized for constructing extremal Type II Z8-codes of length 32 and type (15, 1, 1).
The key steps are:
- The doubling method is presented in Theorems 3.1-3.3, which allows constructing a new Type II Z2m-code from a known Type II Z2m-code.
- An algorithm (Algorithm C) is developed to find suitable candidates for the doubling method that lead to extremal Type II Z8-codes of length 32 and type (15, 1, 1).
- Applying the doubling method with the candidates found by Algorithm C, the authors construct at least 10 new inequivalent extremal Type II Z8-codes of length 32 and type (15, 1, 1) (Proposition 4.3).
- The binary residue codes of the constructed extremal Z8-codes are shown to be optimal [32, 15] binary codes (Remark 4.5).

What other techniques or approaches could be used to construct new extremal Type II Z8-codes beyond the doubling method
To construct new extremal Type II Z8-codes beyond the doubling method, other techniques or approaches can be explored. One approach could involve utilizing algebraic geometric codes or cyclic codes over rings. These codes have properties that can be leveraged to construct extremal codes with specific characteristics. Additionally, techniques from lattice theory and coding theory can be combined to develop new construction methods. For example, using lattice-based constructions or exploiting the properties of lattices related to even unimodular lattices can lead to the creation of extremal Type II Z8-codes. Furthermore, exploring the connections between extremal codes and other mathematical structures, such as association schemes or designs, may provide insights into novel construction methods for extremal codes.
How do the properties of the starting extremal Type II Z8-codes, such as their weight distributions or residue codes, impact the construction of new extremal codes
The properties of the starting extremal Type II Z8-codes, such as their weight distributions and residue codes, play a crucial role in the construction of new extremal codes. The weight distribution of the starting codes impacts the selection of candidate codewords for the doubling method, as certain weight distributions may lead to more suitable candidates for constructing extremal codes. Additionally, the properties of the residue codes of the starting extremal codes influence the feasibility of applying the doubling method to generate new extremal codes. Codes with extremal residue codes provide a foundation for constructing new extremal codes with desirable properties, such as large minimum Euclidean weights and divisibility by specific values.
Can the ideas and methods presented in this work be extended to construct extremal Type II Z8-codes of other lengths or types
The ideas and methods presented in the work can be extended to construct extremal Type II Z8-codes of other lengths or types by adapting the algorithms and techniques to suit the desired parameters. For constructing extremal codes of different lengths, the doubling method can be modified to accommodate the specific length requirements while maintaining the extremal properties. Similarly, for constructing extremal codes of different types, the criteria for selecting candidate codewords and applying the doubling method can be adjusted to meet the type specifications. By generalizing the algorithms and theorems presented in the work, it is possible to construct a diverse range of extremal Type II Z8-codes with varying lengths and types.
