Abstract

We establish a bound on the minimum ρ distance for codes in Matn,s (Zk) with respect to their ranks and call codes meeting this bound MDR codes. We extend the relationship between codes in Matn,s (Zk) and distributions in the unit cube and use the Chinese Remainder Theorem to construct codes and distributions.
