Abstract

For self-dual codes with all weights divisible by an integer greater than one, the minimum distance is bounded by the Mallows-Sloane upper bounds and by their improvements due to Krasikov-Litsyn and Rains. We obtain the improved upper bounds from short relations with constant coefficients on suitable binomial moments of the codes. In this approach, the Mallows-Sloane bounds are analogues of the Singleton bound and the improved bounds are analogues of the Plotkin bound.
