The Mass Formula for Self-Orthogonal and Self-Dual Codes over a Non-Unitary Non-Commutative Ring

In this paper, we derive a mass formula for the self-orthogonal codes and self-dual codes over a non-commutative non-unitary ring, namely, Ep=a,b|pa=pb=0,a2=a,b2=b,ab=a,ba=b, where a≠b and p is any odd prime. We also give a classification of self-orthogonal codes and self-dual codes over Ep, where p=3,5, and 7, in short lengths.
