In this paper, we give some new extremal ternary self-dual codes which are constructed by skew-Hadamard matrices. This has been achieved with the aid of a recently presented modification of a known con-struction method. In addition, we survey the known results for self-dual ...

To solve it a set of two competent genetic algorithms (CGAs) are used to locate common integers in two sorted arrays. The motivation to deal with the messy genetic algorithm (mGA) is given from the pioneering results of Goldberg, regarding the ability of the mGA to put tight genes together in a solution which points directly to structural patterns in weighing matrices. In order to take into ...

Recently a new method of constructing self-dual codes was established using orthogonal designs. This method has led to the construction of many new self-dual codes over small finite fields and rings. In this paper, we generalize this method by using generalized orthogonal designs, and we give another new method that creates and solves Diophantine equations over GF(p) in order to find suitable generator matrices for self-dual codes. We show that under the necessary conditions these methods can be applied as well to small and large fields. We apply these two methods to study self-dual codes over GF(31) and GF(37). Using these methods we obtain some new maximum distance separable self-dual codes of small orders.

A close connection of Hadamard designs and secret-sharing schemes is shown. In addition, we survey some of the most prolific construction methods for Hadamard matrices thus providing the necessary structures to describe a two-part secret-sharing scheme based on Hadamard designs. Furthermore, we exhibit how some algebraic aspects of secret-sharing cryptography are interpreted in ...
