Abstract

In this paper, we look at self-dual codes over the ring Z 16 of integers modulo 16. From any doubly even self-dual binary code, we construct codes over Z 16 and give a necessary and sufficient condition for the self-duality of induced codes. We then give an inductive algorithm for constructing all self-dual codes over Z 16 , and establish the mass formula, which counts the number of such codes.
