On maximum distance separable group codes with complementary duals

Abstract: Given an LCD group code

C

in a group algebra

K G

, we inspect kinship between

C

and

G

, more precisely between the subgroup structures of

G

and

C

. Under some special circumstances our inspection provides an estimation for various parameters of a group code

C

. When

C

is MDS, the inter relation between

K

and

G

becomes more impressive. Application of Sylow theorem facilitated us to explore the inter relation between

G

and

K

(when

C

is LCD and MDS) in more general way and finally we get the result of Cruz and Willems (Lemma

4.4

) as a simple sequel.
