New MDS Self-Dual Codes Over Finite Field Fr2

MDS self-dual codes have nice algebraic structures and are uniquely determined by lengths. Recently, the construction of MDS self-dual codes of new lengths has become an important and hot issue in coding theory. In this paper, we construct six new classes of MDS self-dual codes by using generalized Reed-Solomon (GRS for short) codes and extended GRS codes. Together with our constructions, the proportion of all known MDS self-dual codes relative to possible MDS self-dual codes generally exceed 57%. As far as we know, this is the largest known ratio. Moreover, some new families of MDS self-orthogonal codes are also constructed.
