✦ Synopsis
For n odd, the Z 4 cyclic code generated by 2 is self-dual. We call this a trivial cyclic self-dual code. When do there exist nontrivial cyclic self-dual codes of odd length n? We give an answer in this paper by characterizing these n and describing generators of such codes; this yields an existence test for cyclic difference sets. We also give all examples of nontrivial cyclic self-dual codes up to length 39. From these nontrivial cyclic, self-dual codes, construction A yields unimodular lattices of Type I, some of which are extremal; extension and augmentation yields three new extremal Type II codes of length 32, and an extremal self-dual code of Type II of length 40.

In memory of Professor Gian-Carlo Rota for his great contributions in combinatorial and discrete geometry A set of n-tuples over 8 is called a code over 8 or a 8 code if it is a 8 module. A particularly interesting family of 8 -cyclic codes are quadratic residue codes. We define such codes in terms
