The Gilbert--Varshamov (GV) bound is a central benchmark in coding theory, establishing existential guarantees for error-correcting codes and serving as a baseline for both Hamming and quantum fault-tolerant information processing. Despite…

A family of quantum codes of increasing block length with positive rate is asymptotically good if the ratio of its distance to its block length approaches a positive constant. The asymptotic quantum Gilbert-Varshamov (GV) bound states that…

For any positive integer $q\geq 2$ and any real number $\delta\in(0,1)$, let $\alpha_q(n,\delta n)$ denote the maximum size of a subset of $\mathbb{Z}_q^n$ with minimum Hamming distance at least $\delta n$, where…

We improve Gilbert-Varshamov bound by graph spectral method. Gilbert graph $G_{q,n,d}$ is a graph with all vectors in $\mathbb{F}_q^n$ as vertices where two vertices are adjacent if their Hamming distance is less than $d$. In this paper, we…

We use a graph-theoretic approach which yields improvements on the known Gilbert-Varshamov (GV) bound for sum-rank-metric codes for certain parameters. In particular, we show that asymptotically $\mathbb{F}_q^{\mathbf{n} \times \mathbf{m}}$…

The Gilbert-Varshamov bound states that the maximum size A_2(n,d) of a binary code of length n and minimum distance d satisfies A_2(n,d) >= 2^n/V(n,d-1) where V(n,d) stands for the volume of a Hamming ball of radius d. Recently Jiang and…

The Gilbert--Varshamov (GV) bound is a classical existential result in coding theory. It implies that a random linear binary code of rate $\epsilon^2$ has relative distance at least $\frac{1}{2} - O(\epsilon)$ with high probability.…

Given positive integers $n$ and $d$, let $M(n,d)$ denote the maximum size of a permutation code of length $n$ and minimum Hamming distance $d$. The Gilbert-Varshamov bound asserts that $M(n,d) \geq n!/V(n,d-1)$ where $V(n,d)$ is the volume…

Given positive integers $n$ and $d$, let $A_2(n,d)$ denote the maximum size of a binary code of length $n$ and minimum distance $d$. The well-known Gilbert-Varshamov bound asserts that $A_2(n,d) \geq 2^n/V(n,d-1)$, where $V(n,d) =…

It was shown by Massey that linear complementary dual (LCD for short) codes are asymptotically good. In 2004, Sendrier proved that LCD codes meet the asymptotic Gilbert-Varshamov (GV for short) bound. Until now, the GV bound still remains…

We revisit the well-known Gilbert-Varshamov (GV) bound for constrained systems. In 1991, Kolesnik and Krachkovsky showed that GV bound can be determined via the solution of some optimization problem. Later, Marcus and Roth (1992) modified…

Let A(q,n,d) denote the maximum size of a q-ary code of length n and distance d. We study the minimum asymptotic redundancy \rho(q,n,d)=n-log_q A(q,n,d) as n grows while q and d are fixed. For any d and q<=d-1, long algebraic codes are…
