Given $r\geq 3$ and $2^{r-1}+1\leq n< 2^{r}-1$, an $[n,n-r,3]$ shortened Hamming code that can detect a maximal number of double errors is constructed. The optimality of the construction is proven.
We study codes with parameters of $q$-ary shortened Hamming codes, i.e., $(n=(q^m-q)/(q-1), q^{n-m}, 3)_q$. Firstly, we prove the fact mentioned in 1998 by Brouwer et al. that such codes are optimal, generalizing it to a bound for multifold…
