Optimal Doubly Constant Weight Codes
نویسنده
چکیده
A doubly constant weight code is a binary code of length n1 + n2, with constant weight w1 + w2, such that the weight of a codeword in the first n1 coordinates is w1. Such codes have applications in obtaining bounds on the sizes of constant weight codes with givenminimum distance. Lower and upper bounds on the sizes of such codes are derived. In particular, we show tight connections between optimal codes and some known designs such as Howell designs, Kirkman squares, orthogonal arrays, Steiner systems, and large sets of Steiner systems. These optimal codes are natural generalization of Steiner systems and they are also called doubly Steiner systems. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 16: 137–151, 2008

Upper Bounds for Constant - Weight
| Let A(n; d; w) denote the maximum possible number of codewords in an (n; d; w) constant-weight binary code. We improve upon the best known upper bounds on A(n; d; w) in numerous instances for n 6 24 and d 6 10, which is the parameter range of existing tables. Most improvements occur for d = 8; 10, where we reduce the upper bounds in more than half of the unresolved cases. We also extend the e...

متن کاملSome Results on Type IV Codes Over
Dougherty, Gaborit, Harada, Munemasa, and Solé have previously given an upper bound on the minimum Lee weight of a Type IV self-dual -code, using a similar bound for the minimum distance of binary doubly even self-dual codes. We improve their bound, finding that the minimum Lee weight of a Type IV self-dual -code of length is at most 4 12 , except when = 4, and = 8 when the bound is 4, and = 16...
متن کاملLinear Size Optimal q-ary Constant-Weight Codes and Constant-Composition Codes
An optimal constant-composition or constant-weight code of weight has linear size if and only if its distance is at least . When , the determination of the exact size of such a constant-composition or constant-weight code is trivial, but the case of has been solved previously only for binary and ternary constant-composition and constant-weight codes, and for some sporadic instances. This paper ...
متن کاملOptimal linear codes, constant-weight codes and constant-composition codes over $\Bbb F_{q}$
Optimal linear codes and constant-weight codes play very important roles in coding theory and have attached a lot of attention. In this paper, we mainly present some optimal linear codes and some optimal constant-weight codes derived from the linear codes. Firstly, we give a construction of linear codes from trace and norm functions. In some cases, its weight distribution is completely determin...
