Abstract: Both MDS and Euclidean self-dual codes have theoretical and practical importance and the study of MDS self-dual codes has attracted lots of attention in recent years. In particular, determining existence of q-ary MDS self-dual codes for various lengths has been investigated extensively. The problem is completely solved for the case where q is even. The current paper focuses on the case where q is odd. We construct a few classes of new MDS self-dual code through generalized Reed-Solomon codes. More precisely, we show that for any given even length n we have a q-ary MDS code as long as and q is sufficiently large (say qge2nimesn2). Furthermore, we prove that there exists a q-ary MDS self-dual code of length n if q=r2 and n satisfies one of the three conditions: (i) nler and n is even; (ii) q is odd and n1 is an odd divisor of q1; (iii) requiv3mod4 and n=2tr for any tle(r1)/2.
