Construction of self-dual codes over finite rings \(\mathbb Z_{p^m}\) (Q2426422)

The authors generalize the building up construction of Kim and Lee to self-dual codes over \(\mathbb{Z}_{p^m}\) and \(\mathbb{Z}_m\). They use the technique to construct self-orthogonal and self-dual codes over the integers modulo \(25,125,169,289, 65\) and \(85\). The self-dual codes produced are either (near) MDS or (near) MDR, meaning they satisfy or nearly satisfy a generalized Singleton bound.
