Abstract

We construct a family of simple 3-(2m,8,14(2m–8)/3) designs, with odd m≥5, from all Z4-Goethals-like codes ${\mathcal{G}}_k$ with k=2l and l≥1. In addition, these designs imply also the existence of the other design families constructed from the Z4-Goethals codes ${\mathcal{G}}_1$ by Ranto. In the existence proofs we count the number of solutions to certain systems of equations over finite fields and use Dickson polynomials and variants of cyclotomic polynomials and identities connecting them.
