Abstract

A lift of binary self-dual codes to the ring R2 is described. By using this lift, a family of self-dual codes over R2 of length 17 are constructed. Taking the binary images of these codes, extremal binary self-dual codes of length 68 are obtained. For the first time in the literature, extremal binary codes of length 68 with γ = 4 and γ = 6 in W68,2 have been obtained. In addition to these, six new codes with γ = 0 and fourteen new codes with γ = 2 in W68,2 have also been found.
