In this paper, we construct Error-Correcting Graph Codes. An error-correcting graph code of distance $\delta$ is a family $C$ of graphs on a common vertex set of size $n$, such that if we start with any graph in $C$, we would have to modify…

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,…
