Abstract

In this paper, we determine the complete weight distribution of the space FqN \mathbb{F}_q^N endowed by the weighted coordinates poset block metric ((P,w,π)(P,w,\pi)-metric), also known as the (P,w,π)(P,w,\pi)-space, thereby obtaining it for (P,w)(P,w)-space, (P,π)(P,\pi)-space, π\pi-space, and PP-space as special cases. Further, when PP is a chain, the resulting space is called as Niederreiter-Rosenbloom-Tsfasman (NRT) weighted block space and when PP 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 II-ball for an ideal II in PP and study the characteristics of it in (P,w,π)(P,w,\pi)-space. We investigate the relationship between the II-perfect codes and tt-perfect codes in (P,w,π)(P,w,\pi)-space. Given an ideal II, we investigate how the maximum distance separability (MDS) is related with II-perfect codes and tt-perfect codes in (P,w,π)(P,w,\pi)-space. Duality theorem is derived for an MDS (P,w,π)(P,w,\pi)-code when all the blocks are of same length. Finally, the distribution of codewords among rr-balls is analyzed in the case of chain poset, when all the blocks are of same length.
