Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to complete the classification of binary self-dual [48,24,10] codes with an automorphism of odd prime order. We prove that if there is a self-dual [48, 24, 10] code with an automorphism of type p-(c,f) with p being an odd prime, then p=3, c=16, f=0. By considering only an automorphism of type 3-(16,0), we prove that there are exactly 264 inequivalent self-dual [48, 24, 10] codes with an automorphism of odd prime order, equivalently, there are exactly 264 inequivalent cubic self-dual [48, 24, 10] codes.


A binary self-dual \([n,k,d]\) code is a code \(C \subseteq F_2^n\), with dimension \(k = {{n}\over{2}}\), minimum Hamming weight \(d\), and satisfying \(C=C^\perp\). In this paper, the authors complete the classification of binary self-dual \([48,24,10]\) codes with an automorphism of odd prime order. Specifically, they prove that if there is a self-dual \([48,24,10]\) code with an automorphism of type \(p-(c,f)\), \(p\) an odd prime, then \(p=3\), \(c=16\) and \(f=0\). Using this result, they prove there are exactly 264 inequivalent self-dual \([48,24,10]\) codes with an automorphism of odd prime order.
