Studying binary perfect codes we show the existence of homogeneous nontransitive codes. Thus, as far as perfect codes are concerned, the propelinear codes are strictly contained in transitive codes, wheresas homogeneous codes form a strict…
It is proven that for any numbers n=2^m-1, m >= 4 and r, such that n - log(n+1)<= r <= n excluding n = r = 63, n = 127, r in {126,127} and n = r = 2047 there exists a propelinear perfect binary code of length n and rank r.
A code is called transitive if its automorphism group (the isometry group) of the code acts transitively on its codewords. If there is a subgroup of the automorphism group acting regularly on the code, the code is called propelinear. Using…
Perfect codes obtained by the Vasil'ev--Sch\"onheim construction from a linear base code and quadratic switching functions are transitive and, moreover, propelinear. This gives at least $\exp(cN^2)$ propelinear $1$-perfect codes of length…
Some properties of perfect transitive binary codes of length 15 and extended perfect transitive binary codes of length 16 are presented for reference purposes.
We consider extended $1$-perfect codes in Hamming graphs $H(n,q)$. Such nontrivial codes are known only when $n=2^k$, $k\geq 1$, $q=2$, or $n=q+2$, $q=2^m$, $m\geq 1$. Recently, Bespalov proved nonexistence of extended $1$-perfect codes for…
Given a parity-check matrix $H_m$ of a $q$-ary Hamming code, we consider a partition of the columns into two subsets. Then, we consider the two codes that have these submatrices as parity-check matrices. We say that anyone of these two…
If $N=2^k > 8$ then there exist exactly $[(k-1)/2]$ pairwise nonequivalent $Z_4$-linear Hadamard $(N,2N,N/2)$-codes and $[(k+1)/2]$ pairwise nonequivalent $Z_4$-linear extended perfect $(N,2^N/2N,4)$-codes. A recurrent construction of…
A code $C$ is called propelinear if there is a subgroup of $Aut(C)$ of order $|C|$ acting transitively on the codewords of $C$. In the paper new propelinear perfect binary codes of any admissible length more than $7$ are obtained by a…
For every $n = 2^k > 8$ there exist exactly $[(k+1)/2]$ mutually nonequivalent $Z_4$-linear extended perfect codes with distance 4. All these codes have different ranks.
We study codes with parameters of the ternary Hamming $(n=(3^m-1)/2,3^{n-m},3)$ code, i.e., ternary $1$-perfect codes. The rank of the code is defined to be the dimension of its affine span. We characterize ternary $1$-perfect codes of rank…
Extended $1$-perfect codes in the Hamming scheme $H(n,q)$ can be equivalently defined as codes that turn to $1$-perfect codes after puncturing in any coordinate, as completely regular codes with certain intersection array, as uniformly…
A complete classification of the perfect binary one-error-correcting codes of length 15 as well as their extensions of length 16 was recently carried out in [P. R. J. \"Osterg{\aa}rd and O. Pottonen, "The perfect binary one-error-correcting…
In the paper we show the existence of a large class of extended perfect binary codes containing maximum ij-components.
We present a construction of 1-perfect binary codes, which gives a new lower bound on the number of such codes. We conjecture that this lower bound is asymptotically tight.
In two previous papers we constructed new families of completely regular codes by concatenation methods. Here we determine cases in which the new codes are completely transitive. For these cases we also find the automorphism groups of such…
The projective special linear group $\PSL_2(n)$ is $2$-transitive for all primes $n$ and $3$-homogeneous for $n \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ on the set $\{0,1, \cdots, n-1, \infty\}$. It is known that the extended odd-like quadratic residue codes are…
The family of Goppa codes is one of the most interesting subclasses of linear codes. As the McEliece cryptosystem often chooses a random Goppa code as its key,knowledge of the number of inequivalent Goppa codes for fixed parameters may…
A code is called propelinear if its automorphism group contains a subgroup that acts regularly on its codewords, which is called a propelinear structure on the code. In the paper a classification of the propelinear structures on the…
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.…
