Applicable Algebra in Engineering, Communication and Computing Aims and scope

Abstract.

Shadows play an important role in the study of self-dual codes. In this note, we give constructions of formally self-dual codes using self-dual codes and their shadows. As an example, a class of binary formally self-dual codes related to extremal Type II code is introduced.
