New Constructions for q-ary Covering Codes
نویسنده
چکیده
Upper bounds on Kq (n; R), the minimum number of codewords in a q-ary code of length n and covering radius R, are improved. Such bounds are obtained by constructing corresponding covering codes. In particular, codes of length q + 1 are discussed. Good such codes can be obtained from maximum distance separable (MDS) codes. Furthermore, they can often be combined eeectively with other covering codes to obtain new ones. Most of the new codes are obtained by computer search using simulated annealing. The new results are collected in updated tables of upper bounds on Kq (n; R), q = 3; 4; 5.

Constructions and families of covering codes and saturated sets of points in projective geometry
In a recent paper by this author, constructions of linear binary covering codes are considered. In this work, constructions and techniques of the earlier paper are developed and modified for q-ary linear nonbinary covering codes, q 2 3, and new constructions are proposed. The described constructions design an infinite family of codes with covering radius R based on a starting code of the same c...
متن کاملLinear codes with covering radius 3
The shortest possible length of a q-ary linear code of covering radius R and codimension r is called the length function and is denoted by q(r, R). Constructions of codes with covering radius 3 are here developed, which improve best known upper bounds on q(r, 3). General constructions are given and upper bounds on q(r, 3) for q = 3, 4, 5, 7 and r ≤ 24 are tabulated.
متن کاملNew completely regular q-ary codes based on Kronecker products
For any integer ρ ≥ 1 and for any prime power q, the explicit construction of a infinite family of completely regular (and completely transitive) q-ary codes with d = 3 and with covering radius ρ is given. The intersection array is also computed. Under the same conditions, the explicit construction of an infinite family of q-ary uniformly packed codes (in the wide sense) with covering radius ρ,...
متن کاملOn new completely regular q-ary codes
In this paper from q-ary perfect codes new completely regular q-ary codes are constructed. In particular, two new ternary completely regular codes are obtained from ternary Golay [11, 6, 5] code. The first [11, 5, 6] code with covering radius ρ = 4 coincides with the dual Golay code and its intersection array is (22, 20, 18, 2, 1; 1, 2, 9, 20, 22) . The second [10, 5, 5] code, with covering rad...

For a prime power q and for integers R, η with R > 0, 0 ≤ η ≤ R − 1, let A R,q = (Cni)i denote an infinite sequence of q-ary linear [ni, ni − ri]qR codes Cni with covering radius R and such that the following two properties hold: (a) the codimension ri = Rti + η, where (ti)i is an increasing sequence of integers; (b) the length ni of Ci coincides with f (η) q (ri), where f (η) q is an increasin...
