Description
An extended quadratic-residue code that is known to be the only self-dual doubly-even code at its parameters [1].
The code's automorphism group is \(PSL_2(47)\) [2; Remark 4.3.11].
Parents
- Binary quadratic-residue (QR) code
- Self-dual linear code — The \([48,24,12]\) self-dual code is the only self-dual doubly-even code at its parameters [1].
- Divisible code — The \([48,24,12]\) self-dual code is the only self-dual doubly-even code at its parameters [1].
Cousins
- Combinatorial design — Fixed-weight codewords of extremal self-dual doubly-even codes whose length divides 24 form a combinatorial 5-design [3].
- Group-algebra code — The \([48,24,12]\) self-dual code is a group code for \(G\) being a dihedral group [4][2; Exam. 16.5.1].
