Abstract

In the present paper we develop a method to determine the cost weight distributions and covering radius of extremal ternary self-dual codes of various lengths. The notion of modified Jacobi polynomials is introduced and elementary aspects of it art discussed. Algebraic foundation has much room for further investigations. Since the algorithms underlining in our approach to this problem are sound, and we can bet many numerical results as far as the computer runs in a reasonable time.
