In the paper, we study behavior of discrete dynamical systems (automata) w.r.t. transitivity; that is, speaking loosely, we consider how diverse may be behavior of the system w.r.t. variety of word transformations performed by the system:…
The completely regular codes in Hamming graphs have a high degree of combinatorial symmetry and have attracted a lot of interest since their introduction in 1973 by Delsarte. This paper studies the subfamily of completely transitive codes,…
For the category of group codes, that generalizes the category of linear codes over a finite field, and with the generalized notions of direct sums and ndecomposable group codes, we prove that every MDS non trivial code, every perfect non…
The study of permutation automorphism groups of cyclic codes is a central topic in algebraic coding theory. A cyclic code over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called irreducible if its check polynomial is irreducible over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Such a code is…
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.
We define a variable-length code having the property that no (non-empty) prefix of each its codeword is a suffix of any other one, and vice versa. This kind of code can be seen as an extension of two well-known codes in literature, called…
We consider codes of length $m$ over an alphabet of size $q$ as subsets of the vertex set of the Hamming graph $\Gamma=H(m,q)$. A code for which there exists an automorphism group $X\leq Aut(\Gamma)$ that acts transitively on the code and…
A perfect code in a graph is an independent set of the graph such that every vertex outside the set is adjacent to exactly one vertex in the set. A circulant graph is a Cayley graph of a cyclic group. In this paper we study perfect codes in…
Given a graph $\Gamma$, a perfect code in $\Gamma$ is an independent set $C$ of vertices of $\Gamma$ such that every vertex outside of $C$ is adjacent to a unique vertex in $C$, and a total perfect code in $\Gamma$ is a set $C$ of vertices…
A function $f:\{0,...,q-1\}^n\to\{0,...,q-1\}$ invertible in each argument is called a latin hypercube. A collection $(\pi_0,\pi_1,...,\pi_n)$ of permutations of $\{0,...,q-1\}$ is called an autotopism of a latin hypercube $f$ if…
A group G acts infinitely transitively on a set Y if for every positive integer m, its action is m-transitive on Y. Given a real affine algebraic variety Y of dimension greater than or equal to two, we show that, under a mild restriction,…
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…
Let C be an additive subgroup of $\Z_{2k}^n$ for any $k\geq 1$. We define a Gray map $\Phi:\Z_{2k}^n \longrightarrow \Z_2^{kn}$ such that $\Phi(\codi)$ is a binary propelinear code and, hence, a Hamming-compatible group code. Moreover,…
A code ${\mathcal C}$ is a subset of the vertex set of a Hamming graph $H(n,q)$, and ${\mathcal C}$ is $2$-neighbour-transitive if the automorphism group $G={\rm Aut}({\mathcal C})$ acts transitively on each of the sets ${\mathcal C}$,…
We consider additive codes over GF(4) that are self-dual with respect to the Hermitian trace inner product. Such codes have a well-known interpretation as quantum codes and correspond to isotropic systems. It has also been shown that these…
In this paper we describe a class of codes called {\it permutation codes}. This class of codes is a generalization of cyclic codes and quasi-cyclic codes. We also give some examples of optimal permutation codes over binary, ternary, and…
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…
We introduce a new class of non-standard variable-length codes, called adaptive codes. This class of codes associates a variable-length codeword to the symbol being encoded depending on the previous symbols in the input data string. An…
A code $C$ in the Hamming graph $\varGamma=H(m,q)$ is $2\it{\text{-neighbour-transitive}}$ if ${\rm Aut}(C)$ acts transitively on each of $C=C_0$, $C_1$ and $C_2$, the first three parts of the distance partition of $V\varGamma$ with respect…
