Abstract

This paper examines linear binary codes capable of correcting one or more errors. For the single-error-correcting case, it is shown that the Hamming bound is achieved by a constructive method, and an exact expression for the minimal codeword length is derived. For the general case, a simple lower bound for the parameters of linear codes is derived from an analysis of the coset structure.
