Abstract

We show that every self-orthogonal code over \({\mathbb {F}}_q\) of length n can be extended to a self-dual code, if there exists self-dual codes of length n. Using a family of Galois towers of algebraic function fields we show that over any nonprime field \({\mathbb {F}}_q\), with \(q\ge 64\), except possibly \(q=125\), there are infinite families of self-dual codes, which are asymptotically better than the asymptotic Gilbert–Varshamov bound.
