Weight Distribution of the Weighted Coordinates Poset Block Space and Singleton Bound
Abstract
In this paper, we determine the complete weight distribution of the space endowed by the weighted coordinates poset block metric (-metric), also known as the -space, thereby obtaining it for -space, -space, -space, and -space as special cases. Further, when is a chain, the resulting space is called as Niederreiter-Rosenbloom-Tsfasman (NRT) weighted block space and when is hierarchical, the resulting space is called as weighted coordinates hierarchical poset block space. The complete weight distribution of both the spaces are deduced from the main result. Moreover, we define an -ball for an ideal in and study the characteristics of it in -space. We investigate the relationship between the -perfect codes and -perfect codes in -space. Given an ideal , we investigate how the maximum distance separability (MDS) is related with -perfect codes and -perfect codes in -space. Duality theorem is derived for an MDS -code when all the blocks are of same length. Finally, the distribution of codewords among -balls is analyzed in the case of chain poset, when all the blocks are of same length.
