Abstract

Studying the coset weightdistributions of the Z_4-linear Goethals codes,e connect these codes with the Kloosterman sums. From one side,e obtain for some cases, of the cosets of weight four, the exactexpressions for the number of code ords of weight four in termsof the Kloosterman sums. From the other side, e obtain somelimitations for the possible values of the Kloosterman sums,hich improve the well known results due to Lachaud and Wolfmannkn:lac.
