While solving a special case of a question of Erd\H{o}s and Graham Steinerberger asks for all integers $n$ with $\phi(n)=\frac{2}{3} \cdot (n+1)$. He discovered the solutions $n\in\{5, 5 \cdot 7, 5\cdot 7\cdot 37, 5\cdot 7\cdot 37\cdot…
Let $t,q$ and $n$ be positive integers. Write $[q] = \{1,2,\ldots,q\}$. The generalized Hamming graph $H(t,q,n)$ is the graph whose vertex set is the cartesian product of $n$ copies of $[q]$ ($q\ge 2$), where two vertices are adjacent if…
In this paper, based on the nonbinary graph state, we present a systematic way of constructing good non-binary quantum codes, both additive and nonadditive, for systems with integer dimensions. With the help of computer search, which…
In this paper infinite families of linear binary nested completely regular codes are constructed. They have covering radius $\rho$ equal to $3$ or $4$, and are $1/2^i$-th parts, for $i\in\{1,\ldots,u\}$ of binary (respectively, extended…
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 show that there exists a bounded pattern of m consecutive primes for any m>0, that means a tuple H_m of m distinct non-negative integers h_i (i=1,2,...m) such that its translations contain arbitrarily long (finite) arithmetic…
We first present a useful characterization of additive (stabilizer) quantum error-correcting codes. Then we present several examples of We first present a useful characterization of additive (stabilizer) quantum error--correcting codes.…
Motivated by a recent extension of the zero-one law by Kolaitis and Kopparty, we study the distribution of the number of copies of a fixed disconnected graph in the random graph $G(n,p)$. We use an idea of graph decompositions to give a…
The Doob graph $D(m,n)$ is the Cartesian product of $m>0$ copies of the Shrikhande graph and $n$ copies of the complete graph of order $4$. Naturally, $D(m,n)$ can be represented as a Cayley graph on the additive group $(Z_4^2)^m \times…
We study the problem of existence of (nontrivial) perfect codes in the discrete $ n $-simplex $ \Delta_{\ell}^n := \left\{ \begin{pmatrix} x_0, \ldots, x_n \end{pmatrix} : x_i \in \mathbb{Z}_{+}, \sum_i x_i = \ell \right\} $ under $ \ell_1…
We consider a code to be a subset of the vertex set of a Hamming graph. We examine elusive pairs, code-group pairs where the code is not determined by knowledge of its set of neighbours. We construct a new infinite family of elusive pairs,…
In the zero-error Slepian-Wolf source coding problem, the optimal rate is given by the complementary graph entropy $\overline{H}$ of the characteristic graph. It has no single-letter formula, except for perfect graphs, for the pentagon…
Let $p$ be a prime number, $q=p^s$ for a positive integer $s$. For any positive divisor $e$ of $q-1$, we construct an infinite family codes of size $q^{2m}$ with few Lee-weight. These codes are defined as trace codes over the ring…
We will show the two following results: If there existe an odd perfect number $n$ of prime decomposition $n=p_1^{\alpha_1} \ldots p_k^{\alpha_k}q^\beta$, where the $\alpha_i$ are even, the $\beta$ are odd and $q \equiv 5 \mod 8$. Then there…
A known Kronecker construction of completely regular codes has been investigated taking different alphabets in the component codes. This approach is also connected with lifting constructions of completely regular codes. We obtain several…
Consider the Grassmann graph formed by $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space over the field of $q$ elements ($1<k<n-1$) and denote by $\Pi(n,k)_q$ the restriction of this graph to the set of projective $[n,k]_q$…
The Fibonacci cube of dimension n, denoted as $\Gamma$ n , is the subgraph of the n-cube 5 Q n induced by vertices with no consecutive 1's. Ashrafi and his co-authors proved the non-existence of perfect codes in $\Gamma$ n for n $\ge$ 4. As…
This paper is concerned with the surface embedding of matching extendable graphs. There are two directions extending the theory of perfect matchings, that is, matching extendability and factor-criticality. In solving a problem posed by…
Let $q\in(1,2)$; it is known that each $x\in[0,1/(q-1)]$ has an expansion of the form $x=\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_nq^{-n}$ with $a_n\in\{0,1\}$. It was shown in \cite{EJK} that if $q<(\sqrt5+1)/2$, then each $x\in(0,1/(q-1))$ has a continuum of…
We study perfect codes in the sum-rank metric, a generalization of both the Hamming and rank metrics relevant in multishot network coding and space-time coding. A perfect code attains equality in the sphere-packing bound, corresponding to a…
