Based on the theoretical neuroscience, G. Cotardo and A. Ravagnavi in \cite{CR} introduced a kind of asymmetric binary codes called combinatorial neural codes (CN codes for short), with a "matched metric" $\delta_{r}$ called asymmetric…
We investigate the packing and covering densities of linear and nonlinear binary codes, and establish a number of duality relationships between the packing and covering problems. Specifically, we prove that if almost all codes (in the class…
An identifying code in a graph is a set of vertices which intersects all the symmetric differences between pairs of neighbourhoods of vertices. Not all graphs have identifying codes; those that do are referred to as twin-free. In this…
By using the Gold map, we construct a partition of the hypercube into cosets of Hamming codes such that for every two cosets the corresponding Hamming codes are maximally nonparallel, that is, their intersection cardinality is as small as…
An identifying code $C$ of a graph $G$ is a dominating set of $G$ such that any two distinct vertices of $G$ have distinct closed neighbourhoods within $C$. These codes have been widely studied for over two decades. We give an improvement…
An asymmetric binary covering code of length n and radius R is a subset C of the n-cube Q_n such that every vector x in Q_n can be obtained from some vector c in C by changing at most R 1's of c to 0's, where R is as small as possible.…
Let n be an even positive integer and F be the field \GF(2). A word in F^n is called balanced if its Hamming weight is n/2. A subset C \subseteq F^n$ is called a balancing set if for every word y \in F^n there is a word x \in C such that y…
We define a Johnson graph code as a subspace of labelings of the vertices in a Johnson graph with the property that labelings are uniquely determined by their restriction to vertex neighborhoods specified by the parameters of the code. We…
In this paper we consider completely regular codes, obtained from perfect (Hamming) codes by lifting the ground field. More exactly, for a given perfect code C of length n=(q^m-1)/(q-1) over F_q with a parity check matrix H_m, we define a…
In this article, we construct linear codes over the commutative non-unital ring $I$ of size four. We obtain their Lee-weight distributions and study their binary Gray images. Under certain mild conditions, these classes of binary codes are…
Associated to any finite metric space are a large number of objects and quantities which provide some degree of structural or geometric information about the space. In this paper we show that in the setting of subsets of weighted Hamming…
A binary linear code whose permutation automorphism group has a fixed point free permutation of order $3$ is called a binary cubic code. The scope of this paper is to investigate the structural properties of binary cubic codes. Let $C$ be a…
We consider (symmetric, non-degenerate) bilinear spaces over a finite field and investigate the properties of their $\ell$-complementary subspaces, i.e., the subspaces that intersect their dual in dimension $\ell$. This concept generalizes…
The Hamming oracle returns the Hamming distance between an unknown binary $n$-vector $x$ and a binary query $n$-vector y. The objective is to determine $x$ uniquely using a sequence of $m$ queries. What are the minimum number of queries…
We consider the problem of constructing deletion correcting codes over a binary alphabet and take a graph theoretic view. An $n$-bit $s$-deletion correcting code is an independent set in a particular graph. We propose constructing such a…
A binary $[n,k]$-linear code $\mathcal{C}$ is a $k$-dimensional subspace of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$. For $\boldsymbol{x}\in \mathbb{F}_2^n$, the set $\boldsymbol{x}+\mathcal{C}$ is a coset of $\mathcal{C}$. In this work we study a partial ordering…
All codes with minimum distance 8 and codimension up to 14 and all codes with minimum distance 10 and codimension up to 18 are classified. Nonexistence of codes with parameters [33,18,8] and [33,14,10] is proved. This leads to 8 new exact…
The $n$-hypercube, denoted by $Q_n$, has a vertex for each bit string of length $n$ with two vertices adjacent whenever their Hamming distance is one. The minimum number of colors needed to color $Q_n$ such that no two vertices at a…
Studying the generalized Hamming weights of linear codes is a significant research area within coding theory, as it provides valuable structural information about the codes and plays a crucial role in determining their performance in…
Sum-rank Hamming codes are introduced in this work. They are essentially defined as the longest codes (thus of highest information rate) with minimum sum-rank distance at least $ 3 $ (thus one-error-correcting) for a fixed redundancy $ r $,…
