چکیده

We show that the automorphism group of a divisible design D is isomorhic to a subgroup H of index 1 or 2 in the automorphism group Aut C(D) of the associated constant weight code. Only in very special cases, H is not the full automorphism group.

Optimal constant weight covering codes and nonuniform group divisible 3-designs with block size four

Let Kq(n, w, t, d) be the minimum size of a code over Zq of length n, constant weight w, such that every word with weight t is within Hamming distance d of at least one codeword. In this article, we determine Kq(n, 4, 3, 1) for all n ≥ 4, q = 3, 4 or q = 2m + 1 with m ≥ 2, leaving the only case (q, n) = (3, 5) in doubt. Our construction method is mainly based on the auxiliary designs, H-frames,...

Quaternary Constant-Composition Codes with Weight Four and Distances Five or Six

The sizes of optimal constant-composition codes of weight three have been determined by Chee, Ge and Ling with four cases in doubt. Group divisible codes played an important role in their constructions. In this paper, we study the problem of constructing optimal quaternary constant-composition codes with Hamming weight four and minimum distances five or six through group divisible codes and Roo...

Codes with a Certain Weight-preserving Transitive Group of Automorphisms

We determine all linear codes C containing the constant code E, for which there is a weight-preserving group of semilinear automorphisms which acts transitively on the set of nontrivial cosets of E in C.

Jacobi Polynomials, Type II Codes, and Designs

Jacobi polynomials were introduced by Ozeki in analogy with Jacobi forms of lattices They are useful for coset weight enumeration and weight enumeration of children We determine them in most interesting cases in length at most and in some cases in length We use them to construct group divisible designs packing designs covering designs and t r designs in the sense of Calderbank Delsarte A major ...

Constructions of optimal quaternary constant weight codes via group divisible designs

Generalized Steiner systems GS(2, k, v, g) were first introduced by Etzion and used to construct optimal constant weight codes over an alphabet of size g + 1 with minimum Hamming distance 2k − 3, in which each codeword has length v and weight k. As to the existence of a GS(2, k, v, g), a lot of work has been done for k = 3, while not so much is known for k = 4. The notion k-GDD was first introd...
