Abstract

We estimate the interval where the distance distributionof a code of length n and of given dual distanceis upperbounded by the binomial distribution. The binomial upperbound is shown to be sharp in this range in the sense that forevery subinterval of size about √n ln n thereexists a spectrum component asymptotically achieving the binomialbound. For self-dual codes we give a better estimate for theinterval of binomiality.
