Abstract
<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, a genetic algorithm, one of the evolutionary algorithm optimization methods, is used for the first time for the problem of computing extremal binary self-dual codes. We present a comparison of the computational times between the genetic algorithm and a linear search for different size search spaces and show that the genetic algorithm is capable of computing binary self-dual codes significantly faster than the linear search. Moreover, by employing a known matrix construction together with the genetic algorithm, we are able to obtain new binary self-dual codes of lengths 68 and 72 in a significantly short time. In particular, we obtain 11 new binary self-dual codes of length 68 and 17 new binary self-dual codes of length 72.</p>
