Abstract

A code C \subseteq F_2^n is called (t,{\leq} 2)-identifying if for all the words x, y(x\ne y) and z the sets (B_{t}(x)\cup B_{t}(y))\cap C and B_{t}(z)\cap C are nonempty and different. Constructions of such codes and a lower bound on the cardinality of these codes are given. The lower bound is shown to be sharp in some cases. We also discuss a more general notion of (t,\mathcal{F})-identifying codes and introduce weakly identifying codes.
