Abstract

In this work, we provide a variation of the four-circulant construction for self-dual codes. By applying the constructions over the alphabets F2, F2 + uF2, F4 + uF4, we were able to obtain extremal binary self-dual codes of lengths 40, 64 including new extremal binary self-dual codes of length 68. More precisely, 43 new extremal binary self-dual codes of length 68 with new parameters have been constructed.
