Abstract

We study the structure of self-orthogonal and self-dual codes over two non-unital rings of order four, namely, the commutative ring I=a,b|2a=2b=0,a2=b,ab=0 and the noncommutative ring E=a,b|2a=2b=0,a2=a,b2=b,ab=a,ba=b. We use these structures to give mass formulas for self-orthogonal and self-dual codes over these two rings, that is, we give the formulas for the number of inequivalent self-orthogonal and self-dual codes, of a given type, over the said rings. Finally, using the mass formulas, we classify self-orthogonal and self-dual codes over each ring, for small lengths and types.
