On the non-existence of extended perfect codes and some perfect colorings

Combinatorics 2020-09-01 v1

Abstract

In this paper we obtain the necessary condition for the existence of perfect kk-colorings (equitable kk-partitions) in Hamming graphs H(n,q)H(n,q), where q=2,3,4q=2,3,4 and Doob graphs D(m,n)D(m,n). As an application, we prove the non-existence of extended perfect codes in H(n,q)H(n,q), where q=3,4q=3,4, n>q+2n>q+2, and in D(m,n)D(m,n), where 2m+n>62m+n>6.
