Some Hadamard matrices of order 32 and their binary codes

It is known that all doubly‐even self‐dual codes of lengths 8 or 16, and the extended Golay code, can be constructed from some binary Hadamard matrix of orders 8, 16, and 24, respectively. In this note, we demonstrate that every extremal doubly‐even self‐dual 32,16,8] code can be constructed from some binary Hadamard matrix of order 32. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
