Ternary primitive LCD BCH codes (Q6112261)

In [Des. Codes Cryptography 88, No. 12, 2453--2473 (2020; Zbl 1482.94078)], the authors introduce the notion absolute coset leaders of \(C_s\) as the smallest integer in the set \(\{k, n-k:k \in C_s\}\). It gives advantages in constructing binary LCD BCH code. In this paper the authors continue their work by focusing on ternary linear codes. Firstly, they find the largest, second largest, and third largest absolute coset leaders of ternary primitive BCH codes. Then they present three classes of ternary primitive BCH codes and determine their weight distributions. Finally, they obtain some LCD BCH codes and calculate some weight distributions. However, the calculation of weight distributions of two of these codes is equivalent to computing Kloosterman sums.
