A partition of the hypercube into maximally nonparallel Hamming codes
نویسنده
چکیده
By use of the Gold map, we construct a partition of the hypercube into cosets of Hamming codes that have minimal possible pairwise intersection cardinality. Let m ≥ 3 be odd and let F be the finite field GF(2) of order 2. Let σ be a power of 2, and assume that σ± 1 and 2− 1 are relatively prime (that is, both x → x and x → x are one-to-one mappings), which is, by simple arguments, equivalent to the condition gcd(s,m) = 1, where σ = 2. For example, σ = 2. We will treat the codes C of length 2 as collections of subsets of F , i.e., C ⊂ 2 . Recall some facts: (A) for all x, y ∈ F : (x+ y) = x + y (derived from (x+ y) = x+ y); (B) for all x ∈ F : x + x + 1 6= 0 (indeed, otherwise (x + 1) = (x + 1)(x + 1) = (x + 1)(x + 1) = x + x + x + 1 = x, which is impossible as f(x) = x is one-to-one); (C) the cardinality of the code B = {X ∈ 2 : ∑

On partitions into nonparallel Hamming codes
Let F denote the finite field with two elements. We describe a construction of partitions of F , for n = 2 − 1, m ≥ 4, into cosets of pairwise distinct Hamming codes (we call such codes nonparallel) of length n. We give a lower bound for the number of different such partitions.
متن کاملA coloring of the square of the 8-cube with 13 colors
Let χ k̄ (n) be the number of colors required to color the n-dimensional hypercube such that no two vertices with the same color are at a distance at most k. In other words, χ k̄ (n) is the minimum number of binary codes with minimum distance at least k+1 required to partition the n-dimensional Hamming space. By giving an explicit coloring, it is shown that χ2̄(8) = 13.
متن کاملComputation of Minimum Hamming Weight for Linear Codes
In this paper, we consider the minimum Hamming weight for linear codes over special finite quasi-Frobenius rings. Furthermore, we obtain minimal free $R$-submodules of a finite quasi-Frobenius ring $R$ which contain a linear code and derive the relation between their minimum Hamming weights. Finally, we suggest an algorithm that computes this weight using the Grobner basis and we show that und...
متن کاملZero-error Slepian-Wolf Coding of Confined Correlated Sources with Deviation Symmetry
In this paper, we use linear codes to study zero-error Slepian-Wolf coding of a set of sources with deviation symmetry, where the sources are generalization of the Hamming sources over an arbitrary field. We extend our previous codes, Generalized Hamming Codes for Multiple Sources, to Matrix Partition Codes and use the latter to efficiently compress the target sources. We further show that ever...
متن کاملThe chromatic number of the square of the 8-cube
A cube-like graph is a Cayley graph for the elementary abelian group of order 2n. In studies of the chromatic number of cube-like graphs, the kth power of the n-dimensional hypercube, Qn, is frequently considered. This coloring problem can be considered in the framework of coding theory, as the graph Qn can be constructed with one vertex for each binary word of length n and edges between vertic...
