New MDS self-dual codes from GRS codes and extended GRS codes (Q6156929)

The article under review focuses on MDS self-dual linear codes, which are codes whose parameters satisfy the Singleton bound, and their dual codes are identical to the codes themselves. Therefore, their parameters are \([n, n/2, n/2 + 1]\). The article includes a useful table detailing the parameters of known MDS self-dual codes along with their references. Then, the authors construct new MDS self-dual codes using generalized Reed-Solomon codes and extended generalized Reed-Solomon codes.
