Abstract

In this paper, we givea pseudo-random method to construct extremal Type II codes over\ZZ_4. As an application, we give a number of newextremal Type II codes of lengths 24, 32 and 40, constructedfrom some extremal doubly-even self-dual binary codes. The extremalType II codes of length 24 have the property that the supportsof the codewords of Hamming weight 10 form 5-(24,10,36) designs. It is also shown that everyextremal doubly-even self-dual binary code of length 32can be considered as the residual code of an extremal Type IIcode over \ZZ_4.
