Abstract

Linear codes with large automorphism groups are constructed. Most of them are suitable for permutation decoding. In some cases they are also optimal. For instance, we construct an optimal binary code of length \(n=252\) and dimension \(k=12\) having minimum distance \(d=120\) and automorphism group isomorphic to \(\text {PSL}(2,8)\rtimes \text {C}_{3}\).
