We study whether an asymmetric limited-magnitude ball may tile $\mathbb{Z}^n$. This ball generalizes previously studied shapes: crosses, semi-crosses, and quasi-crosses. Such tilings act as perfect error-correcting codes in a channel which…
We study necessary conditions for the existence of lattice tilings of $\R^n$ by quasi-crosses. We prove non-existence results, and focus in particular on the two smallest unclassified shapes, the $(3,1,n)$-quasi-cross and the…
