Abstract

© 2021 Elsevier Inc.Double Toeplitz (DT) codes are codes with a generator matrix of the form (I,T) with T a Toeplitz matrix, that is to say constant on the diagonals parallel to the main. When T is tridiagonal and symmetric we determine its spectrum explicitly by using Dickson polynomials, and deduce from there conditions for the code to be LCD. Using a special concatenation process, we construct optimal or quasi-optimal examples of binary and ternary LCD codes from DT codes over extension fields.
