We present a bound on the size of linear codes. This bound is independent of other known bounds, e.g. the Griesmer bound.
Most bounds on the size of codes hold for any code, whether linear or nonlinear. Notably, the Griesmer bound, holds only in the linear case. In this paper we characterize a family of systematic nonlinear codes for which the Griesmer bound…
Most bounds on the size of codes hold for any code, whether linear or not. Notably, the Griesmer bound holds only in the linear case and so optimal linear codes are not necessarily optimal codes. In this paper we identify code parameters…
We give a new asymptotic upper bound on the size of a code in the Grassmannian space. The bound is better than the upper bounds known previously in the entire range of distances except very large values.
Let $C$ be a binary code of length $n$ with distances $0<d_1<\cdots<d_s\le n$. In this note we prove a general upper bound on the size of $C$ without any restriction on the distances $d_i$. The bound is asymptotically optimal.
Upper bounds on the maximum number of codewords in a binary code of a given length and minimum Hamming distance are considered. New bounds are derived by a combination of linear programming and counting arguments. Some of these bounds…
Additive codes may have better parameters than linear codes. However, still very few cases are known and the explicit construction of such codes is a challenging problem. Here we show that a Griesmer type bound for the length of additive…
The iterated Johnson bound is the best known upper bound on a size of an error-correcting code in the Grassmannian $\mathcal{G}_q(n,k)$. The iterated Sch\"{o}nheim bound is the best known lower bound on the size of a covering code in…
We generalize the Griesmer bound in the case of systematic codes over a field of size q greater than the distance d of the code. We also generalize the Griesmer bound in the case of any systematic code of distance 2,3,4 and in the case of…
We introduce the concepts of complex Grassmannian codes and designs. Let G(m,n) denote the set of m-dimensional subspaces of C^n: then a code is a finite subset of G(m,n) in which few distances occur, while a design is a finite subset of…
In this paper we investigate known Singleton-like bounds in the Lee metric and characterize optimal codes, which turn out to be very few. We then focus on Plotkin-like bounds in the Lee metric and present a new bound that extends and…
We study asymptotic lower and upper bounds for the sizes of constant dimension codes with respect to the subspace or injection distance, which is used in random linear network coding. In this context we review known upper bounds and show…
We present new upper bounds on the parameters of batch codes with restricted query size. These bounds are an improvement on the Singleton bound. The techniques for derivations of these bounds are based on the ideas in the literature for…
We employ signed measures that are positive definite up to certain degrees to establish Levenshtein-type upper bounds on the cardinality of codes with given minimum and maximum distances, and universal lower bounds on the potential energy…
After a discussion of the Griesmer and Heller bound for the distance of a convolutional code we present several codes with various parameters, over various fields, and meeting the given distance bounds. Moreover, the Griesmer bound is used…
An open question about Gabidulin codes is whether polynomial-time list decoding beyond half the minimum distance is possible or not. In this contribution, we give a lower and an upper bound on the list size, i.e., the number of codewords in…
Non-overlapping codes have been studied for almost 60 years. In such a code, no proper, non-empty prefix of any codeword is a suffix of any codeword. In this paper, we study codes in which overlaps of certain specified sizes are forbidden.…
We derive a new estimate of the size of finite sets of points in metric spaces with few distances. The following applications are considered: (1) we improve the Ray-Chaudhuri--Wilson bound of the size of uniform intersecting families of…
Upper bounds are derived for codes in Stiefel and Grassmann manifolds with given minimal chordal distance. They stem from upper bounds for codes in products of unit spheres and projective spaces. The new bounds are asymptotically better…
In this paper, we derive a Singleton bound for lattice schemes and obtain Singleton bounds known for binary codes and subspace codes as special cases. It is shown that the modular structure affects the strength of the Singleton bound. We…
