Abstract

A binary code is called a superimposed cover-free (s,)(s,\ell)-code if the code is identified by the incidence matrix of a family of finite sets in which no intersection of \ell sets is covered by the union of ss others. A binary code is called a superimposed list-decoding sLs_L-code if the code is identified by the incidence matrix of a family of finite sets in which the union of any ss sets can cover not more than L1L-1 other sets of the family. For L==1L=\ell=1, both of the definitions coincide and the corresponding binary code is called a superimposed ss-code. Our aim is to obtain new lower and upper bounds on the rate of the given codes. In particular, we derive lower bounds on the rates of a superimposed cover-free (s,)(s,\ell)-code and list-decoding sLs_L-code based on the ensemble of constant weight binary codes. Also, we establish an upper bound on the rate of superimposed list-decoding sLs_L-code.
