On matroids from self-orthogonal codes and their properties

Weston Loucks and Bahattin Yildiz

Vol. 16 (2023), No. 3, 409–420
Abstract

Matroids and codes are closely related. In the binary case, they are essentially identical. In algebraic coding theory, self-orthogonal codes, and a special type of these called self-dual codes, play an important role because of their connections with t-designs. In this work, we further explore these connections by introducing the notions of cycle-nested and doubly even matroids. In the binary case, we characterize the cocycle-nested matroids and describe some properties of doubly even matroids by relating them to doubly even codes. We also relate the concept of self-orthogonal realizations with Eulerian matroids.
