Abstract

We give a classification of four-circulant singly even self-dual [60, 30, d] codes for \(d=10\) and 12. These codes are used to construct extremal singly even self-dual [60, 30, 12] codes with weight enumerator for which no extremal singly even self-dual code was previously known to exist. From extremal singly even self-dual [60, 30, 12] codes, we also construct optimal singly even self-dual [58, 29, 10] codes with weight enumerator for which no optimal singly even self-dual code was previously known to exist. Finally, we give some restriction on the possible weight enumerators of certain singly even self-dual codes with shadow of minimum weight 1.
