This paper provides new and improved Singleton-like bounds for Lee metric codes over integer residue rings. We derive the bounds using various novel definitions of generalized Lee weights based on different notions of a support of a linear…

We give results on the question of code optimality for linear codes over finite Frobenius rings for the homogeneous weight. This article improves on the existing Plotkin bound derived in an earlier paper, and suggests a version of a…

Finding the largest code with a given minimum distance is one of the most basic problems in coding theory. In this paper, we study the linear programming bound for codes in the Lee metric. We introduce refinements on the linear programming…

We study the Singleton-type bound that provides an upper limit on the minimum distance of locally repairable codes. We present an improved bound by carefully analyzing the combinatorial structure of the repair sets. Thus, we show the…

The homogeneous metric can be viewed as a natural extension of the Hamming metric to finite chain rings. It distinguishes between three types of elements: zero, non-zero elements in the socle, and elements outside the socle. Since the…

Upper bounds on the minimum Lee distance of codes that are linear over ${\mathbb Z}_q$, $q=p^t$, $p$ prime are discussed. The bounds are Singleton like, depending on the length, rank, and alphabet size of the code. Codes meeting such bounds…

Function-Correcting Codes (FCCs) are a novel class of codes designed to protect function evaluations of messages against errors while minimizing redundancy. A theoretical framework for systematic FCCs to channels matched to the Lee metric…

Codes in the sum-rank metric have received many attentions in recent years, since they have wide applications in the multishot network coding, the space-time coding and the distributed storage. In this paper, by constructing covering codes…

Function-correcting codes are a coding framework designed to minimize redundancy while ensuring that specific functions or computations of encoded data can be reliably recovered, even in the presence of errors. The choice of metric is…

In this paper, we derive a Singleton bound for lattice schemes and obtain Singleton bounds known for binary codes and subspace codes as special cases. It is shown that the modular structure affects the strength of the Singleton bound. We…

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,…

We present some upper bounds on the size of non-linear codes and their restriction to systematic codes and linear codes. These bounds are independent of other known theoretical bounds, e.g. the Griesmer bound, the Johnson bound or the…
