When the generator of a code satisfies $Gcdot G^T={bf 0}$












0














Consider $A$ is an $ktimes n-k$ matrix over $mathbb{F}_q$. Consider an $k times n$ matrix $G=(I_kmid A)$ as a generator of a code $C$.



My question: If $Gcdot G^T={bf 0}$ over $mathbb{F}_q$, then is it correct to say $G$ is not only generator of $C$, but also is parity check matrix of $C$?
Is there a special name for the code $C$ in coding theory?



Thanks

          Each codeword $cin C$ has the form $c = u G$ for some vector $uin {Bbb F}_q^k$.
          Since $G G^t=0$, $cG^t = (uG)G^t = u(GG^t)=u0 = 0$ and so a dimension argument shows that $G^t$ is a a parity check matrix of $G$. If so, the code is called self-dual.

            Yes, but: to be a true parity check matrix for (and for the code to self-dual) we also require that $H$ has $n-k$ rows, hence we need $k=n/2$.
