Golomb and Welch conjectured in 1970 that there only exist perfect Lee codes for radius $t=1$ or dimension $n=1, 2$. It is admitted that the existence and the construction of quasi-perfect Lee codes have to be studied since they are the…

We consider quasi-perfect codes in $\mathbb{Z}^n$ over the $\ell_p$ metric, $2 \leq p < \infty$. Through a computational approach, we determine all radii for which there are linear quasi-perfect codes for $p = 2$ and $n = 2, 3$. Moreover,…

One peculiarity with deletion-correcting codes is that perfect $t$-deletion-correcting codes of the same length over the same alphabet can have different numbers of codewords, because the balls of radius $t$ with respect to the…
In this paper we obtain the necessary condition for the existence of perfect $k$-colorings (equitable $k$-partitions) in Hamming graphs $H(n,q)$, where $q=2,3,4$ and Doob graphs $D(m,n)$. As an application, we prove the non-existence of…

Motivated by a problem in computer architecture we introduce a notion of the perfect distance-dominating set, PDDS, in a graph. PDDSs constitute a generalization of perfect Lee codes, diameter perfect codes, as well as other codes and…

Complex orthogonal designs (CODs) are used to construct space-time block codes. COD $\mathcal{O}_z$ with parameter $[p, n, k]$ is a $p\times n$ matrix, where nonzero entries are filled by $\pm z_i$ or $\pm z^*_i$, $i = 1, 2,..., k$, such…

We consider $t$-Lee-error-correcting codes of length $n$ over the residue ring $\mathbb{Z}_m := \mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ and determine upper and lower bounds on the number of $t$-Lee-error-correcting codes. We use two different methods,…
Lattice tilings of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ by limited-magnitude error balls correspond to linear perfect codes under such error models and play a crucial role in flash memory applications. In this work, we establish three main results. First, we…
It is a standard result in the theory of quantum error-correcting codes that no code of length n can fix more than n/4 arbitrary errors, regardless of the dimension of the coding and encoded Hilbert spaces. However, this bound only applies…
We solve the problem of existence of perfect codes in the Doob graph. It is shown that 1-perfect codes in the Doob graph D(m,n) exist if and only if 6m+3n+1 is a power of 2; that is, if the size of a 1-ball divides the number of vertices.…
