New constructions of MDS self-dual and self-orthogonal codes via GRS codes
The parameters of MDS self-dual codes are completely determined by the code length. In this paper, we utilize generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS) codes and extended GRS codes to construct MDS self-dual (self-orthogonal) codes and MDS almost self-dual codes over. The main idea of our constructions is to choose suitable evaluation points such that the corresponding (extended) GRS codes are Euclidean self-dual (self-orthogonal). The evaluation sets are consists of two subsets which satisfy some certain conditions and the length of these codes can be expressed as a linear combination of two factors of q-1. Four families of MDS self-dual codes, two families of MDS self-orthogonal codes and two families of MDS almost self-dual codes are obtained and they have new parameters.
