Abstract
Linear codes with complementary duals (shortly named LCD codes) are linear codes whose intersection with their duals are trivial. In this paper, we give a method of constructing these type of linear codes from equitable partitions of association schemes. The LCD codes constructed in this paper are of length 2n and dimension n and have the property of being formally self-dual. To illustrate the method we construct LCD codes from some distance-regular graphs.
