Abstract

It is a well-known fact that if C is an [n,k,d] formally self-dual even code with n30, then d==48 with 8|n. In this paper, we prove that if n=72 and 8|n, then there is no near-extremal f.s.d. even code. This result comes from the negative coefficients of weight enumerators. In addition, we introduce shadow transform in near-extremal f.s.d. even codes. Using this we present some results about the nonexistence of near-extremal f.s.d. even codes with n=48,64.
